The Golden Circle in a Super Jeep

Absolute Classic Icelandic Excursion

This absolute classic Iceland excursion is a must for any first time visitor to Iceland as it gives you the chance to see and experience some of Iceland's greatest natural phenomena. With a highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, you'll learn about Iceland's fascinating natural history as you make various stops along the Golden Circle route.

The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, an area of great historical importance for Icelanders as a parliament was founded here over 1000 years ago. You will be able to stand where Viking settlers proudly stood centuries ago. Gigantic rifts run through the park creating a stark and dramatic landscape. Gently moving tectonic plates run across Thingvellir, pulling apart around 2 cm a year making it possible to stand on two continents at once!?

Next is the geothermal area at Haukadalur where you can walk through an area dotted with hot springs, steaming streams and geysers. Strokkur is one of the largest and most powerful and you can expect an eruption roughly every 5 minutes. Watch from a safe distance as the blue/green water bubbles up, suddenly spouting almost 30 meters into the air. Be patient with your camera and you will be sure to capture this amazing scene. Continue to explore the area, looking into bore holes but don't be tempted to touch the intensely blue water or you will be scalded!

At Gullfoss, some say the Queen of Icelandic waterfalls, marvel at the power of the water as it tumbles over two tiers before crashing 32 meters into an impressive ravine. Often with a rainbow in its clouds of mist and spray, you will never forget the sight and sound of probably the most famous waterfall of Iceland, the Golden Falls.

After Gullfoss, we drive to Faxi, a small but beautiful waterfall before continuing to Kerid, an impressive 3000 year old explosion crater. There is a blue-green lake at its centre which contrasts with the green moss-clad and colourful rock walls. From here, we head back to Reykjavik after a day tour to remember.
