On the day of your Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik, you'll have the option to be picked up at several different locations around Reykjavik (please specify when booking), 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. Once you're comfortably installed in the vehicle, it's time to go!
Your first stop will be at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO Heritage Site and one of Iceland's most important historical and geological sites. 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. After this, you'll head over to Efstidalur II, a family-run farm where you will get to interact with the animals and take photos of the beautiful scenery.
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). You'll follow this up with a visit to Gullfoss waterfall, a majestic sight and one of Iceland's most iconic attractions. It's formed by the Hvítá River, and it plunges in two tiers into a deep canyon, an unmissable sight!
The last two stops on the tour will be at Friðheimar Tomato Farm and Kerið Crater. During the first one, you'll get to see how the Icelandic people grow fresh produce all year-round. During the second, you'll discover a unique geological wonder, walk around Kerið Crater Lake, and enjoy the incredible views.
