Learn about the sites from an English-speaking local guide and hear great stories and personal recommendations. The Golden Circle includes the greatest tourist attractions in Iceland, covering about 300 km looping from Reykjavík into central Iceland and back. If you're lucky, you may even get to feed any Icelandic horses along the way!

Highlights

  • Thingvellir: This pivotal landmark connects all the major events in the founding of the Icelandic commonwealth. It’s also considered the best place on earth to view the North Atlantic divergent ridge.

  • Friðheimar farm: focuses on cattle farming, tourism, and horse breeding. Here you get up close and personal with Icelandic horses. Also enjoy their tasty farm-to-table food products, especially cucumbers, and tomatoes, the spectacular mountain view, and the friendly farm animals.

  • Geysir: The namesake of the English “geyser”, is actually dormant these days. But its little brother Strokkur remains active and erupts every 3-4min with spouts as high as 20 meters.

  • Gullfoss: It’s easy to see why this was deemed the most beautiful of Iceland’s 30.000 waterfalls.

  • Kerið: A striking crater lake filled with milky blue-green water amid stark black and deep red slopes. Geologists now believe it to be a collapsed magma chamber at the end of a volcanic eruption that occurred more than 6,000 years ago
