Golden Circle, Waterfalls & Karid Crater in Small Group

First, we take the chance to feast on scenic stops at Thingvellir National Park, a jewel with both historical and geological value.

This is the place where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 A.D; every year, and until the Danish colonialism, around 30 ruling chiefs met to discuss the law on the island.

It also holds the meeting of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and that’s the reason why we say that we can walk between continents at this specific location.

To top it off we take an easy hike to the beautiful Öxararfoss waterfall, one of the very few human-made waterfalls in Iceland. The channel of the river Öxará was moved in the 10th century in order to provide water for all the parliament assistants.

Furthermore, we visit Efstidalur dairy farm, where we are always very enthusiastic to taste their organic and homemade ice creams. The amazing views of Mount Hekla and the possibility of interacting with Icelandic cows, horses and dogs make this family farm a great place to stop. Very family-friendly and breathtaking scenery!

Geysir geothermal area is quite stunning where we can witness the geyser Strokkur erupt every five minutes.

Right after, we head towards the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, which tops many lists as a powerful and hypnotizing natural phenomenon.

A delicious lunch stop* at Friðheimr tomato farm will replenish us before we head out again to keep on exploring the surroundings.

To finish our day, we visit Kerið crater lake, with pristine waters, inside a 3.000 years old caldera. The colors of Kerið are intense and beautiful!

We put full emphasis on nature and culture as we tell stories when we ease through the surroundings in a small group. The tour is operated in a minibus and does not exceed more than 19 people. This way the guide can connect to all passengers and a much nicer vibe is created during the day.
