Description
Join a guided tour of the Golden Circle and visit the Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Thingvellir National Park. Learn about the geology of the area and the history of Iceland as you explore. Start your day with a pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. Then, head to the Geysir geothermal area. Marvel at the bubbling mud pools, steam vents, and the regular eruptions of the geyser named Strokkur. Next, visit the Gullfoss (Golden Falls), one of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls. With different vantage points for photographs, see Hvítá (the White River) unleash its power over the cliffs and rocks in a spectacular display.
