Your Private Tour Details
Discover the Highlights of the Golden Circle
Þingvellir National Park: Where Continents Collide
Begin your journey at Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a cornerstone of Icelandic history. This remarkable rift valley is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes you won’t find anywhere else. Walk through the Almannagjá Gorge, where Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, was established in 930 AD. Explore the crystal-clear waters of Silfra, a fissure renowned for its snorkeling and diving opportunities.
Geysir Geothermal Area: Witness the Power of the Earth
Next, step into the geothermal wonderland of Geysir, the birthplace of the word “geyser.” Here, you’ll encounter bubbling mud pots and steaming fumaroles. The highlight? Strokkur is a spectacular geyser that erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water high into the sky. Capture the moment, feel the ground's warmth beneath your feet, and enjoy this dynamic geothermal display.
Gullfoss Waterfall: The Golden Falls
The journey continues to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls. Watch as the Hvítá River plunges 32 meters into a rugged canyon, creating a misty veil and rainbows on sunny days. Feel the roar of the falls and stand in awe of nature’s raw power and beauty. This site will stay with you long after your tour ends.
Kerið Volcanic Crater
Explore the striking Kerið Crater, a 3,000-year-old volcanic marvel with vivid red slopes encircling a serene blue lake. A short walk offers stunning views, perfect for photography and quiet reflection.
Friðheimar Greenhouse (optional lunch)
Dive into Iceland’s unique agricultural innovation with a visit to Friðheimar. This family-run greenhouse showcases sustainable tomato farming powered by geothermal energy. Enjoy fresh tomato soup and homemade bread while surrounded by lush greenery.
Secret Lagoon (optional add-on)
Relax in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest geothermal pool. After a day of exploration, this is the perfect way to relax amidst a steaming landscape.
