Golden Circle

Aventure into Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle. Begin with Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history and nature intertwine. Here, you’ll stand in the rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating fissures filled with crystal-clear glacial water filtered through lava rock over decades. Thingvellir is also home to Althing, the world’s oldest parliament, established in 930 AD—a testament to Iceland’s unique cultural heritage.

Next, experience the Geysir geothermal area, where Strokkur, meaning “the butter churn,” erupts every 4–8 minutes, offering a dramatic display of nature’s power. Though the original Great Geysir remains inactive, Strokkur ensures the area lives up to its name.

Our journey continues to Gullfoss, an iconic waterfall on the Hvítá River, fed by Iceland’s Langjökull glacier. On sunny days, a shimmering rainbow often appears over Gullfoss, adding to the magic of the falls.

For a thrilling finale, embark on an exhilarating snowmobile ride across Langjökull Glacier, capturing the spirit of Iceland’s untamed wilderness.

Travel in a premium vehicle with your private driver-guide, allowing you to set the pace. Indulge in gourmet Icelandic cuisine, take in breathtaking landscapes, and enjoy expert insights from your guide for a truly personalized experience.

Golden Circle encompasses many of Iceland's most famous landmarks.

Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the location of the world's first parliament; Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall.

At Thingvellir National Park history and nature meets. This is the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface and forms a rift valley between tectonic plates. Filled in the fissure created by the separation of the plates is glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.

The history was made at Thingvellir when in 930AD was formed Althing, the oldest parliament still in operation. Therefore Thingvellir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage for both, natural and cultural importance.

At Geysir geothermal area Strokkur, "the butter churn”, erupts about every 4-8 minutes. The big Geyser, which gave name to all other geysers, has been in recent years inactive.

Gullfoss is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá River which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day shimmering rainbow, can be seen over the falls.
