The Renowned Golden Circle & Kerið Volcanic Crater

The Renowned Golden Circle & Kerið Volcanic Crater
Thingvellir National Park - Begin the journey by driving from Reykjavik to the historic Þingvellir National Park. This site hosted the Icelandic parliament from 930 to 1798 and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its rich history and stunning natural beauty. Here, the American and Eurasian tectonic plates converge, offering a unique experience of standing between two worlds.
Geysir - Famous worldwide for its power and beauty, Geysir has become synonymous with this incredible natural phenomenon. Nearby, the active Strokkur hot spring erupts up to 30 meters high every few minutes. Explore the paths and enjoy the bubbling springs around you. In the Geysir Area, there is also time to purchase lunch or snacks.
Gullfoss Waterfall - Next, visit Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall. As one of Iceland’s most popular attractions, Gullfoss captivates with its raw power and beauty, cascading 32 meters into a rugged canyon.
Kerid Crater - These three attractions complete the classic Golden Circle, but to enhance the experience, a stop at the spectacular Kerid Volcanic Crater is included. This 3,000-year-old crater is 55 meters deep and offers a unique view of Iceland’s natural beauty.
South Coast Waterfalls & Black Beach
Seljalandsfoss - Experience this waterfall up close as it cascades from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, dropping 60 meters.
Gljufrabui Waterfalls - A hidden gem that many visitors overlook. Guidance is provided on how to find it!
Írafoss - A private waterfall, not accessible to everyone.
Volcano Eyjafjallajokull - Be sure to ask the guide about the massive 2010 eruption that brought Iceland global fame!
Skogar - Skogafoss is one of the world’s most iconic waterfalls, featured in “Game of Thrones.” Its south-facing position often results in rainbows as the 60-meter cascade creates a misty spray. Skogafoss is a popular sight, and visitors can climb to the top for a different perspective.
Solheimajokull Glacier - Part of one of Iceland’s largest glaciers, Myrdalsjokull, Solheimajokull offers breathtaking views and the chance to get close to the glacier cap.
Reynisfjara Beach - Visit the world-renowned black sand beach at Reynisfjara, where striking basalt columns line the cliffs, volcanic sands meet powerful Atlantic waves, and the dramatic sea stacks of Reynisdrangar rise just offshore.
Glacier Lagoon & Blue Ice Cave
Vik - The third day begins with a brief stop in Vík Village, offering stunning views of the Black Sand Beach and surrounding hills.
Eldhraun - A barren landscape filled with moss-covered lava formations.
Hofskirkja Church - The last church of its kind built in Iceland, dating back to the 19th century. Its roof is made of deep layers of turf, surrounded by moss-covered burial mounds.
Glacier Lagoon - Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is an extraordinary, bucket-list location featured in several Hollywood films. It is peaceful and tranquil, with stunning scenery that constantly changes as wind and tides move the icebergs. Seals can often be seen swimming among the ice chunks or resting on nearby beaches.
Fellsfjara - Just a short distance from the Glacier Lagoon is Diamond Beach, named for the countless sparkling ice fragments found here. These icebergs are sculpted into fantastic shapes by the wind and waves on the black sand Atlantic beach.
Vatnajokull National Park - Finally, the highlight of the tour awaits! The Blue Ice Cave expedition begins with a superjeep ride to a natural ice cave. The Blue Ice Cave showcases the immense forces of Icelandic nature, formed naturally in glaciers as fresh water freezes in the winter. New caves form each year as glaciers freeze, melt, and refreeze into different shapes. It’s a memorable sight, with diverse ice formations in striking colors. Local guides lead visitors to the most beautiful blue ice caves. Once visited, that particular blue ice cave may never exist again, making it a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
