Description:
The Grand Golden Circle is a compact tour that takes you to a series of remarkable and diverse sites in the Southwest of Iceland in a span of only eight hours. If you are only doing one tour in Iceland, this is the one. In the Geysir geothermal area we get the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur spout steaming water up to 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes. The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7 minutes drive from Geysir located in the glacial river Hvit. Its elegant and majestic form is like no other, where the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32 meters deep canyon. Thingvellir National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located on the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, but also a place charged with history, as the site of the national parliament since 930. Thingvellir tells stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. Thingvellir was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its cultural values in 2004. Additionally, the tour includes visits to the volcanic crater lake Kerid. Highlights - Geysir geothermal area - Gullfoss waterfall - Thingvellir National Park - Kerid volcanic crater
