The Golden Circle In The Afternoon
The tour lasts 6 hours.Not all are early birds. This tour will take you to the most famous pearls of Southwest Iceland's nature in just one afternoon.In the geothermal area of Geysir we have the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur as it spouts steam up to 30m every 8 minutes.
The iconic Gullfoss waterfall, or "Golden Waterfall", is only a seven-minute drive from Geysir in the Hvítá glacier. Unique is its elegant and majestic form, in which the water of the rushing river falls in two steps into a 32 meter deep ravine.
The Þingvellir National Park is a place full of history, not only because of its location on the border between the North American continental plate and the Eurasian continental plate, but also as the meeting place of the Icelandic Parliament since 930. Þingvellir tells stories of geographical and political efforts, compromises and ongoing evolution. 2004 Þingvellir was added for its cultural value in the list of UNESCO World Heritage.
