Your Adventure begins when your experienced guide picks you up in a comfortable minibus in the morning to explore the famous Golden Circle.
Few locations in the world provide a finer and clearer perspective of this vast geographic activity than Thingvellir National Park, home to one of the most amazing natural wonders in the world: tourists can observe the effects of two moving tectonic plates: the North American and Eurasian ones. The national park is frequently referred to as "The Galapagos of the North" because it is also home to Iceland's largest natural lake and is home to a wide variety of fish and bird species! Thingvellir, the location of the parliament's founding in 930 AD, is deeply ingrained in Icelandic national history. The translation of "Thingvellir" is "Parliament Plains." Because of this, the park is a must-visit location for anybody interested in Icelandic history or culture.
Often referred to as "Iceland's Bluest Waterfall," this waterfall is a true hidden gem nestled within Iceland's most breathtakingly secretive surroundings.
Its size may seem little in comparison to other waterfalls, and the sound of its waters flowing over lava rocks transports you to a place of unparalleled tranquility!
Its smooth waters produce an ethereal image of the environment, and its sapphire blue hues create a striking contrast with the vivid green of the surrounding moss and the dark lava rocks they slide over. It's a charming spot ideal for photographers and environment enthusiasts looking to get a closer look at Iceland's unspoiled landscape.
Next, we'll head for The Golden Waterfall, one of Iceland's most magnificent waterfalls!
The breathtaking "Golden Falls" are formed when the melting water of Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull, pours into a deep canyon. On clear days, you can even see Langjökull in the distance, as the waterfall's mist creates a stunning rainbow effect. This is an ideal spot for a breathtaking photo opportunity!
Kerid is a volcanic crater well-known for its striking color contrast.
This 6.500-year-old volcano crater in South Iceland is the ideal side trip from the Golden Circle.
Picture yourself positioned above a crater formed by volcanic eruptions, where distinctive red volcanic rocks cascade down a slope that is 270 meters in circumference, 170 meters broad, and 55 meters deep.
Visitors can get a closer look at this shallow lake, which still has much of its caldera intact, by taking a short trek along the crater's edge.
The minerals in the surrounding soil give blue water its aquamarine hue. Bright green moss envelops the lake, save for the cliffs of red volcanic rocks.
Reykjanes peninsula and Langjökull Glacier are both located in the Western Volcanic Zone, which features Kerid, one of Iceland's three most recognizable volcanic craters.
We will be heading back to Reykjavik downtown at around 5 p.m., although the order of our itinerary and the time of our return could alter depending on the state of the roads and the weather.
