2. As part of your private tour, you’ll enjoy complete flexibility in how much time you spend exploring Thingvellir National Park. Walk between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia, take in sweeping views of volcanic landscapes, and learn about the site where Iceland’s ancient parliament was founded over 1,000 years ago—all at your own pace.

   45 minAdmission included

3. One of Iceland’s most iconic and awe-inspiring natural wonders, Gullfoss is a two-tiered waterfall that plunges dramatically into a rugged canyon. Fed by the glacier Langjökull, the roaring waters create a powerful spectacle that can be felt as much as seen. On clear days, rainbows often dance in the mist, adding to the magic of this unforgettable stop on the Golden Circle route.

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.
