Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your selected bus stop or hotel in Reykjavik, ensuring a stress-free start to your day. From there, you'll embark on an unforgettable expedition along the iconic Golden Circle route, one of Iceland's most renowned travel circuits.
First on your itinerary is the Haukadalur Geothermal Valley, a surreal landscape that showcases the earth's fiery power. Marvel at the geysers that shoot steaming water high into the air, a captivating display of nature's might.
Next, you'll visit the breathtaking Gullfoss Waterfall, where you can witness the raw force of glacial water cascading into a dramatic canyon. This majestic "Golden Falls" takes shape as the melting water from Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjokull, flows into the deep canyon.
But the surprises don't end there.
You’ll then immerse yourself in authentic Icelandic culture as you make a stop at a traditional dairy farm. The Efstidalur farm has been owned by the same family since 1850, and their commitment to preserving Icelandic farming traditions shines through. You'll have the chance to savor farm-to-table dairy products, savoring the flavors of local cuisine.
As you explore the farm, take in the stunning mountain views and interact with the farm's friendly inhabitants, particularly the cows and adorable calves. You'll even get to taste their handmade artisanal ice cream, a delicious treat made from the farm's own dairy products. It's a unique experience that adds a delightful twist to your Golden Circle adventure.
Finally, your journey will lead you to the remarkable Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk in the footsteps of history and geology. This park is not only culturally significant but also geologically fascinating, as it straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, showcasing the continental drift.
As your day of exploration comes to an end, you'll head back to Reykjavík, arriving in the early evening. Please note that the timing may vary due to weather and road conditions, but rest assured that you'll be in the capable hands of a highly professional guide throughout the journey.
Don't miss out on this small-group experience that combines the wonders of Thingvellir National Park, the Haukadalur Geothermal Valley, Gullfoss Waterfall, and a delightful taste of authentic Icelandic ice cream.
