1 Kerið Volcanic CraterKerið Volcanic Crater is a vast crater formed by an eruption here over 6500 years ago. What was once was the bubbling magma chamber now of a volcano, there is now a serene milky turquoise lake. Stroll along the crater’s rim to absorb the expansive Icelandic vistas, or descend to the water’s edge, marveling at the vibrant hues that the forces of nature has created here.
2 Geysir Geothermal AreaOur next destination is Geysir Geothermal area, where you can witness the Strokkur geysir erupts reliably every 5-10 minutes., shooting steamy water up to 20 meters high every 5 to 10 minutes. The entire area is brimming with to geothermal activity, showcasing an array of wonders like bubbling mud-pots, steaming vents, vibrant ponds, and the dynamic geyser itself.
The location also houses extensive facilities, making it perfect for grabbing a bite to eat or indulging in some souvenir shopping
3 Gullfoss WaterfallA mere 10-minute drive from Geysir, we visit the majestic Gullfoss, or “The Golden Waterfall,” and its breathtaking canyon. This spectacular waterfall is fed by the glacial river Hvítá, which flows from the Langjökull ice cap before plunging into a 70-meter deep canyon carved over the past 10,000 years.
On clear days, from the upper parking level, you can catch a glimpse of Langjökull, the second-largest ice cap in Iceland. The sheer beauty and might of Gullfoss have captivated countless individuals and remain a must-visit. The well-paved walkways ensure you get the best views from every angle.
4 Thingvellir National ParkOur journey continues at Thingvellir National Park, a geological marvel recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Þingvellir in Icelandic, is uniquely positioned where two tectonic plates are gradually drift apart, giving rise to a stunning Rift Valley dotted with numerous visible fissures. It’s a rare opportunity to witness such a Rift Valley above sea level.
Beyond its geological significance, Thingvellir is steeped in historical tales of political maneuverings, the conversion to Christianity, and witchcraft. In 930, Iceland’s inaugural parliament, the Althing, was founded here. For centuries, this open-air assembly drew Icelanders from all corners to legislate, resolve disagreements, and forge alliances.
As you descend through the vast Almannagjá fault into the Rift Valley, you’re transported back in time, retracing the steps of the Vikings who once converged here for their pivotal annual gatherings.
FlyOver IcelandAfter a splendid day exploring the scenic wonders of the Golden Circle, you’ll return to Reykjavik and be conveniently dropped off at FlyOver Iceland, situated by Reykjavík central Old Harbour.
Here, cutting-edge technology will give you the sensation of virtually soaring over Iceland.
