Itinerary

Þingvellir National Park

Your Golden Circle private tour begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of immense historical and geological importance. This is where Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, was established in 930 AD, making it the oldest continuously running parliament in the world.

Þingvellir also lies directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, offering visitors a rare opportunity to walk between two continents.

Geysir Geothermal Area

Next, visit the Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur Valley. This active geothermal field features bubbling hot springs, steaming fumaroles, and the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, reaching heights of up to 30 meters.

This stop offers incredible photo opportunities and a true sense of Iceland’s volcanic power.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Continue to the iconic Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most famous natural attractions. Known as the “Golden Falls,” Gullfoss is fed by the glacial river Hvítá and cascades down two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon below.

On sunny days, mist rising from the waterfall often creates stunning rainbows.

Laugarvatn Geothermal Bakery

A truly unique stop along the Golden Circle route is the Laugarvatn Geothermal Bakery. Here, traditional Icelandic rye bread is baked underground using natural geothermal heat.

You’ll have the opportunity to taste this freshly baked bread or purchase some to take home as a delicious Icelandic souvenir.

Kerið Volcanic Crater Lake

Next, explore Kerið Volcanic Crater, a striking natural formation created over 3,000 years ago. The vivid red volcanic rock surrounding the deep blue crater lake creates one of the most photogenic spots in Iceland.

Visitors can walk around the rim or descend closer to the lake for breath-taking views.

Hveragerði – The Hot Spring Town

The final stop is Hveragerði, often called the “Hot Spring Town of Iceland.” This geothermal community is known for its greenhouses, colourful flowers, and sustainable use of geothermal energy.

👉 This stop complements experiences found on our Iceland Hot Springs Tours.
