Itinerary
Next, we visit the striking Kerio Crater, a turquoise lake nestled inside red volcanic rock. Located in the Grimsnes area, this lesser-known highlight is a true Scenic Iceland experience.
No Golden Circle tour is complete without a visit to Geysir, the original geyser. In this geothermal valley, you’ll see Strokkur erupt every few minutes - sometimes over 30 meters high. This is one of Iceland’s most iconic photo stops.
Just a short drive away is Gullfoss, a breathtaking two-tiered waterfall fed by glacial waters. View it from above and feel the spray - a powerful and unforgettable experience.
Your final stop is Þingvellir, one of Iceland’s most treasured sites - both historically and geologically. It’s where the Althing, the world’s oldest parliament, was founded in the year 930. You’ll walk between two tectonic plates at the Almannagja Rift and see Iceland’s largest natural lake, pingvallavatn.
Stop at the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Station, one of the largest geothermal plants in the world. Learn how Iceland harnesses its volcanic energy for heat and electricity through the visitor centre exhibit.

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.
