Visiting Thingvellir National Park: A UNESCO Heritage Site

The tour starts at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its geological and historical significance. Here, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic rift valleys visible across the landscape.

Plus, Thingvellir is the location where the world’s first parliament, Alþingi, was established in 930 AD. This site also serves as a filming location for Game of Thrones, representing The Eyrie and The Bloody Gate. Visitors have about an hour to explore, take photos, and learn the stories behind this unique park, all free of charge.

Geothermal Innovation at Fridheimar Greenhouse

A highlight of this tour is the stop at Fridheimar, an eco-area showcasing geothermal-powered organic vegetable farming. Travelers learn how geothermal heat sustains the greenhouse environment, enabling the cultivation of fresh vegetables in Iceland’s cool climate.

The 45-minute visit includes a delicious lunch in the greenhouse restaurant, where fresh, organic ingredients come straight from the farm. This meal exemplifies sustainable farming practices and offers a taste of Icelandic ingenuity. The experience is free of charge, with no extra fees for admission or food.

Witnessing the Power of Geysir

Next, the tour visits Geysir, home to some of Iceland’s most active geysers. The star attraction, Strokkur, erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, sending boiling water and steam high into the air. This dynamic display provides excellent photo opportunities and a vivid reminder of Iceland’s volcanic activity.

Visitors spend about 30 minutes here, observing the geyser’s powerful eruptions and exploring the surrounding geothermal area. The site offers pathways and viewing platforms, making it accessible and engaging, with free admission.

Marveling at Gullfoss Waterfall

The Gullfoss waterfall follows as the tour’s next stop, often considered Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall. Formed by the river Hvítá, which originates near Hvítarvatn and the Langjökull glacier, the waterfall plunges in a dramatic two-tiered cascade.

This site captivates with its raw power and scenic vistas. Visitors have 30 minutes to walk along the viewing platforms and take in the sweeping views, all included without extra charge. Gullfoss offers spectacular photo opportunities and an unforgettable sense of Iceland’s natural force.

Exploring the Kerid Crater Lake

The Kerid volcanic crater caps the Golden Circle stops. About 6,500 years old, this crater lake features vivid red volcanic rock contrasted by the deep blue water. It lies within a row of craters called Tjarnarhólar.

A 20-minute visit allows travelers to walk around the rim, take photos, and enjoy the otherworldly landscape. Both the crater and the surrounding area are of free access, providing a striking photo backdrop and insight into Iceland’s volcanic history.

Relaxing at the Blue Lagoon

You’re allotted around 3 hours at the lagoon, with entrance fees included. The package provides a towel, bathrobe, and slippers for added comfort.
