Highlights
Explore Iceland's breathtaking nature on a Golden Circle tour departing from Skarfabakki port. Unlike traditional tours, we don't have a set departure time. We wait for your cruise to dock before beginning, allowing up to 2 hours after arrival. Our small group approach ensures a more personal experience, allowing our knowledgeable guides to provide exceptional service and share Iceland's fascinating history, culture, and geology. The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous sightseeing route, combining stunning landscapes with stories that span from the settlement era to the present day. Highlights include the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, the erupting hot springs of Geysir, Thingvellir National Park and the beautiful Öxarárfoss waterfall. We also visit the striking Kerið volcanic crater, where colorful red slopes surround a tranquil blue lake, creating one of Iceland's most picturesque natural landmarks.

Itinerary
We head towards the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, which tops many lists as a powerful and hypnotizing natural phenomenon. There is a spot at Gullfoss where you are able to buy yourself a lunch.
Geysir geothermal area is quite stunning where we can witness the geyser Strokkur erupt every five minutes. There is a spot in Geysir where you are able to buy yourself a lunch.
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.
We continue to the striking Kerið volcanic crater, where vivid red volcanic slopes surround a tranquil turquoise lake, creating one of Iceland’s most colorful and captivating natural landmarks.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.
The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
