This Golden Circle tour takes us to three of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. We will visit Gullfoss, the dramatic two-tiered waterfall that plunges into a rugged canyon; Geysir, the geothermal area where Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending boiling water high into the air; and Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly meet and where Iceland’s parliament was founded over 1,000 years ago. Together, these sites showcase the raw geology, energy, and history that define Iceland.
