Golden Circle and Waterfalls, with Friðheimar Farm and Kerið in small group
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Iceland's captivating landscapes with our full-day Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik!
Our adventure begins with a visit to the remarkable Thingvellir National Park, a place of immense historical and geological significance. Here, you'll be awestruck by the very spot where Iceland's ancient parliament was established in 930 A.D. As you wander through this awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage site, marvel at the dramatic meeting point of two tectonic plates, an extraordinary testament to the Earth's raw power.
Next Stop, Efstidalur dairy farm. Here, indulge your taste buds with their organic and homemade ice creams, lovingly crafted with the freshest ingredients. Delight in the flavors and textures that embody the true essence of Iceland.
Prepare to be enchanted as we venture to the captivating Geysir geothermal area. Witness the exhilarating spectacle of Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every five minutes, shooting a powerful jet of steam and water into the sky. Immerse yourself in this natural wonder, capturing unforgettable moments and embracing the sheer energy of the Earth.
Continuing our journey, we encounter the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, a true marvel of nature. Be enchanted by the sheer force and hypnotic beauty of this cascading wonder as it dominates the surrounding landscape. Let the thundering sound of the falling water captivate your senses, leaving an indelible mark on your heart.
To enrich your experience, we invite you to Friðheimar, a thriving tomato farm where innovation meets sustainability. Gain a fascinating insight into the art of greenhouse horticulture as you witness firsthand how delicious tomatoes are nurtured using the power of geothermal energy, glacial water, and the invaluable contribution of bumblebees. While you're there, don't miss the opportunity to interact with the charming Icelandic horses and capture a cherished selfie with these magnificent creatures.
We also include a visit to Kerið volcanic crater. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, a natural wonder that encapsulates the mystique of Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone. Gaze upon the visually striking caldera, a testament to the awe-inspiring forces that shape our planet.
We put the full emphasis on nature and culture as we tell stories when we ease through the surroundings in a small group. The tour is operated in a minibus and we focus on not exceeding more than 19 people. This way the guide can connect to all passengers and a much nicer vibe is created during the day.
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most popular route and it is not by any coincidence. The route lies not so far from the capital and easily offers a variety of natural scenery to explore as well as many stories from the settlement to our times.
