Description

Enjoy the highlights of both the Golden Circle and South Coast of Iceland on a private tour. Visit Thingvellir National Park, see the ‘Geysir’ geyser and Gullfoss Waterfall on the Golden Circle, and continue along the South Coast, stopping at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and the black sand beach of Reynisdrangar. Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik. Head to Thingvellir National Park, characterized by a tectonic rift valley that marks the rifting of the Eurasian and North American plates from each other. In 930, the Icelandic Parliament, the first democracy in the world, was established at Thingvellir. Thingvellir became a World Heritage Site in 2004. Continue to the Haukadalur area to see the geyser Geysir, which erupts boiling water up to 70 meters but is almost inactive. Strokkur, only a few meters apart from Geyser, erupts on average every 4 minutes. Near Geysir is the beautiful Gullfoss Waterfall. Enjoy the view from above and walk down the path to get close to the powerful waterfall. Next, head to the South Coast to see the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and the black sand beach of Reynisdrangar. Seljalandsfoss is 60 meters high and it is possible to walk behind it. Skógafoss is also 60 meters high and about 25 meters wide. Both waterfalls are in glacier rivers, meltwater from Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. Finally, visit the black sand beach of Reynisdrangar. Iceland is a volcanic island, made up mainly of basaltic material that is black in color. Hence, the “Black Beaches”. The black beach was, in 1991, ranked as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. On the beach, there are remarkable basalt columns. Reynisdrangar is a sea stack, a geological formation made by wave erosion of surrounding material.
