Why Travelers Love This
The Golden Circle was one of the first travel routes developed in Icelandic tourism, thanks to the location of Geysir, the first documented geyser in Europe, and the unique geological wonders found along the route. Travelers can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates while learning about the geology and volcanic formation of Iceland, the world’s second-largest island. This unforgettable journey tells the story of the birth of Iceland as a nation, its dramatic landscapes shaped by fire and ice, and the resilience of the Icelandic people, who learned to survive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Your guide will recommend a lunch stop at Friðheimar geothermal tomato greenhouse, with reservations arranged upon request. On the way back to Reykjavík, we also stop at Kerið, an extinct volcanic crater, for a short scenic hike around the crater lake.
