Highlights

Full description

See the best of southwest Iceland on an 8-hour Golden Circle tour by bus from Reykjavik. Visit the spectacular Geysir area, and go to the cascades of Gullfoss Waterfall. Discover where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet in Þingvellir National Park. Travel to the geothermal area of Geysir. Marvel as the active hot spring of Strokkur spouts steaming water 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.

Continue to one of Iceland’s most iconic features at the Gullfoss Waterfall (“Golden Falls“). Feel the spray of the waters of the glacial River Hvítá as it plummets down into a 32-meter deep crevice. Next, enter Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

Þingvellir was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural value in 2004, and is the site of a stunning rift valley and the Rock of Law, the first Viking parliament. Marvel at the volcanic crater at Lake Kerið, and pass through the Icelandic farms of the south on your drive around the Golden Circle, before returning to your original starting point in Reykjavik.

We had a lovely day on the tour and our guide was very nice and knowledgable. It is a lot to cram into 8 hours so at three of the stops we only had approx 40-45 mins to wander around. We're quite good at getting a move on, taking it in and getting some pics but some people were late back onto the bus every time so that is something to bear in mind! Three out of four places had a toilet (unable to use toilet on bus). I've mentioned on other tours we did in Iceland - if your small pick up bus is last to the big tour bus then it's likely you wont be able to sit with your party. I've been on other tours elsewhere where they tell single riders to sit with other single riders to better allow groups of 2+ to sit with or near eachother. 8+ hours is a long time to not be able to sit with your family etc.

It was a nice trip and I went with my friend. We both enjoyed the whole tour. We started around 9 am and reached the BSI terminal around 6 pm. All the places mentioned in the list are really beautiful and one must not miss this tour. When we reached to last spot Thingvellir National Park, it started raining and we could not explore much. We had umbrellas with us but they could not help us because of the wind. I would suggest keeping a raincoat or waterproof jacket to avoid such a situation. Overall we had a wonderful day.

Our Guide Dave was really enthusiastic to give us information to all the stopps we made and even more. Gullfoss was a breathtaking experience to make, the other sights were also absolutely beautiful. The tour is totally worth it and we can only recommend it, if you are interested in seeing amazing natural sights.
