Thingvellir National Park, a gem with immense historical and geological significance. This is where Iceland’s parliament was established in 930 A.D., with thirty ruling chiefs gathering here annually to discuss the island's laws until Danish rule began. It’s also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, allowing us to “walk between continents” at this unique location. Adding to the experience, we’ll take a short hike to the picturesque Öxararfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's few human-made waterfalls. The Öxará River was redirected in the 10th century to provide water for parliamentary assemblies.
Gullfoss waterfall, renowned for its thundering cascades and hypnotizing beauty is definitely Iceland´s no 1 most visited and photographed waterfall.
The journey continues to the Geysir geothermal area, where we can watch Strokkur, a powerful geyser, erupt every five minutes.
Kerið crater lake, nestled within a 3,000-year-old caldera with vividly colored waters and rock walls that create a striking end to our day.
After a day of exploration, it’s time to unwind in Iceland’s newest geothermal gem: Laugaras Lagoon. Surrounded by nature, you’ll soak in warm, mineral-rich waters with a drink in hand, watching the steam rise against the Icelandic sky. It’s relaxation, rejuvenation, and that perfect “ahhh” moment you’ve been waiting for.
Wonderful experience. Gabrielle was a lovely guide and driver. The Mercedes van was quite comfortable and the small group size made a big difference in how easy it was to see the Golden Circle sights.
The description was not what happened, it said no lunch, but we stopped at a tomato green house for tomato soup and bread for 43$ CAD each. There was supposed to be a stop at a crater and there wasn’t. The guide was a nice guy but gave us very little information about every place we stopped, he was a driver not a guide. The van had big knobby tires on it and made so much noise it almost made me sick from the noise. We got no knowledge about anything we were looking at or about Iceland, PA system was horrible, research on google would have given us more info.
Excellent tour with flexibility and a nice guide. Warmly recommend!
The spots were wonderful and very carefully planned. The schedule was packed yet not too tight, making the whole experience fruitful. Some "mysterious" extra spots were also added if time allows, like petting Icelandic horses and stopping at a geothermal area. Our guide Goncalo was amazing and very knowledgeable. He is also very helpful and friendly. Some special stops were the dairy farm (where we had the best ice-cream we've ever had), and of course the scenic golden circle spots. The lunch at tomato farm was also wonderful. We joined another East West tour for South Coast and it was also absolutely wonderful.
Tour was excellent. Slavie ? Our tour guide did a great job explaining the places we were to and was very helpful.
The natural sites were spectacular! The dairy farm and the tomato farm were OK. Our driver was very good.
Great tour, good company and guide for the trip. Great natural wonders to visit at each one. Well worth taking!
