Why you’ll love this…
  • Visit Geysir hot spring and Gullfoss the Golden waterfall, the most iconic sights in Iceland in a single day
  • See the big Volcanic Crater Kerid, and the magical lake hidden at the bottom
  • Explore the national shire of all Icelanders, Thingvellir National park, and experience standing on two continents at the same time
  • Discover the natural wonders of the geysers and watch as a column of water is launched in the air to incredible heights
What to expect

If you travel to Iceland, Geysers, Gullfoss the Golden Waterfall and Thingvellir are an absolute must-see. In the course of only eight hours, you'll be picked up from your hotel and you'll get to explore all three major Icelandic sites. As a bonus, you'll also get to see something extremely unique, the big Volcanic Crater Kerid.

Thingvellir National park is the national shire of all Icelanders: it lies in the belt of volcanic activity and fissures which pass across Iceland, a part of the mid-Atlantic ridge that divides Europe from America. You can stand with your right foot on one side and the left on the other, and experience being on two continents at once.

Next, you'll see the biggest geysers of the valley of Haukadalur, Strokkur and Geysir itself, which gives all the others in the world their name. Strokkur erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, launching a column of water into the air to a height of 20 to 30 meters. At Geysir, you'll have the opportunity to buy your lunch before heading to the beautiful waterfall of Gullfoss; you'll be amazed by its raw power. This completes the standard Golden Circle route but before heading back to Reykjavik, you will also visit the Kerid Volcanic Crater. The crater is 270 m wide and more than 55 m deep and at the bottom of the crater you'll find a lake, which gives it a little bit of magic.

    This was a really enjoyable day. The guide was really informative. It was interesting to watch and eat the food prepared in the geothermal water in the ground at the first geyser and is something we didn’t experience on any other trip! More time would have been good at the Kerid Crater but we still managed to walk around it and down in the crater itself. There were plenty of stops during the day for refreshments and food if required. This is a must attend trip.

    The tour was a full day of over 8 hours with some extra little visits given as well. Kristina our driver and guide was very helpful and amusing and talked us all the way round giving us a lot of very useful information. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Iceland.

    Collected slightly late by Vlad , but not his fault as other customers at prior pick up didn’t turn up. Had to phone office as worried we’d been forgotten. Vlad was friendly and polite and handled more problematic customer with dry wit. Enjoyed day, although slightly rushed due to limited light.
