Itinerary
Begin your Golden Circle adventure on Reykjavík's scenic waterfront beside the iconic Sun Voyager sculpture. Enjoy beautiful views across Faxaflói Bay toward Mount Esja while discovering the story of Iceland's founding, the city's geothermal origins, and one of Reykjavík's most photographed landmarks.
Hike to the summit of Helgafell, a rare flat-topped volcano formed beneath an Ice Age glacier. The short climb rewards visitors with sweeping views and a fascinating look at one of Iceland's most unusual geological formations.
Take a short, easy walk to one of southwest Iceland's hidden waterfalls, where water tumbles over moss-covered cliffs into a peaceful valley. According to Icelandic folklore, the surrounding rocks are home to the mysterious hidden people known as the Huldufólk.
Pause beside this peaceful lake to admire the scenery while hearing the legend of the Nykur, Iceland's terrifying water horse said to lure travelers into its icy depths. It's one of the country's best-known folklore locations.
Hidden just off the Golden Circle, Þórufoss plunges into a dramatic basalt canyon and is famous as a filming location in Game of Thrones. Its powerful year-round flow and rugged setting make it one of Iceland's most photogenic waterfalls.
Walk through the birthplace of Icelandic democracy and one of the few places on Earth where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visibly pulling apart. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir combines Viking history, spectacular geology, waterfalls, and crystal-clear fissures.
Watch Strokkur erupt every few minutes, sending boiling water up to 40 meters into the air. Nearby lies the original Great Geysir—the natural wonder that gave every geyser on Earth its name.
Known as the "Golden Falls," Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls, plunging in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon. Powerful viewpoints allow visitors to feel the spray while learning the remarkable story of Sigríður Tómasdóttir, whose determination helped save the falls from development.
Look down into a narrow canyon carved by glacial waters over thousands of years. Towering rock formations known as Karl and Kerling—"Old Man" and "Old Woman"—rise from the rushing river, accompanied by Icelandic troll legends.
Relax in Iceland's oldest natural swimming pool, built in 1891 and naturally heated year-round by geothermal springs. While you soak, watch a small geyser erupt beside the lagoon every few minutes for a truly unique Icelandic spa experience.
Visit the home of Snorri Sturluson, the medieval scholar whose writings preserved nearly everything we know about Norse mythology. This quiet village played an enormous role in Viking history and Icelandic literature.
Explore one of Iceland's longest lava tubes, formed more than 5,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption. Guided tours lead visitors through colorful lava chambers, towering rock formations, and seasonal ice sculptures hidden beneath the surface.

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.
