It specializes in the cultivation of tomatoes, utilizing geothermal energy to maintain optimal growing conditions year-round. The greenhouse operates sustainably, harnessing natural resources to provide fresh produce even in the harsh Icelandic climate.

Visitors to Fridheimar Greenhouse can tour the greenhouse and learn about innovative farming techniques.

Then, it's time to start the Golden Circle route with a visit to the Geysir geothermal area. The Geysir geothermal area, located in the Haukadalur valley of Iceland, is a well-known geothermal site that features a variety of hot springs, mud pots, and geysers.

The most famous geyser, known as "Geysir," has given its name to all geysers worldwide. Though Geysir is now largely inactive, the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts regularly, shooting water up to 20-30 meters into the air every few minutes.

The area showcases Iceland's geothermal activity and is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a close-up view of the natural forces that shape the island's unique landscape.

The next stop is the Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss waterfall, or "Golden Falls," is one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, located in the canyon of the Hvita river in the southwest of the country.

The waterfall consists of two stages: an upper cascade that drops around 36 feet (11 meters) and a lower one that plunges approximately 69 feet (21 meters) into a rugged canyon. Gullfoss waterfall is known for its powerful flow and dramatic scenery.

The frequent rainbows that form in its mist enhance the waterfall's beauty. It is a key attraction that highlights the natural beauty of Iceland.

The last stop on the Golden Circle sightseeing route is the Thingvellir National Park, a great historical and geological site. It is where the Althing, one of the world's oldest parliaments, was established in 930 AD.

The park lies in a rift valley formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it a pivotal location to observe geological activity.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik.
