Board the minibus in central Reykjavik and begin your adventure across Iceland's Golden Circle. Arrive at Thingvellir National Park and admire its rugged natural beauty and spectacular views of the North Atlantic divergent ridge.
Stop at the family-owned Fríðheimar Farm, where the family has been growing tomatoes and cucumbers since 1995. Continue to the stables to meet Icelandic horses and even pet them. Take a break for lunch (at your own expense) at the greenhouse, where you can purchase local products on the menu.
Witness the magnificent Gullfoss Falls, considered the most outstanding of Iceland’s 30,000 waterfalls. Marvel at the powerful cascades as they crash into the Gullfossgjúfur canyon and capture breathtaking photos of nature at work.
Next, make your way to Kerið, a striking crater lake filled with milky blue-green water and surrounded by black and red slopes. Trace the volcanic origins of this serene crater lake and discover how volcanic activity shaped the region.
