About the activity

Discover one of Iceland's most well-known natural treasures in a well-organised day tour, perfect to fit in the time of a cruise stop on this Golden Circle sightseeing tour from Reykjavik! The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous scenic route. It connects several of the country's most wonderful natural sights and historical landmarks in a seamless round-trip route. The whole route is about 250 kilometres long from Reykjavik, and it passes through waterfalls, geological formations, canyons, rivers, and more.

On the day of your Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik, you'll have the option to be picked up at either Faxagarður, Miðbakki, or Skarfabakki Cruise Terminals around 30 minutes before the activity is set to start. You'll meet your expert Nordur Travel instructor, who will welcome you and give you a quick itinerary and safety briefing, so you know where you're going and what to do to have a great time.

You'll get to walk between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia, as well as learn about Iceland's Assembly, a major historical and political centre for the country. Next, you'll head toward Oxarafoss Waterfall, which is inside Thingvellir, and which is formed by the river Öxará.

The tour will continue toward the Geysir Geothermal Area, which is home to the Strokkur geyser. The geyser erupts every few minutes with a powerful jet of boiling water that will amaze you as you walk around it. You can also visit the surrounding hot springs and bubbling mud pools. And there will be time for lunch (which is not included in the price of the experience. Your final stop will be at Gullfoss waterfall, a majestic sight and one of Iceland's most iconic attractions.
