This is the perfect tour for nature lovers looking for a good way to spend their afternoon. Travel in the comfort of a minibus with free Wi-Fi on board as you head off to see the sights of Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall.
Set out from Reykjavik in the afternoon and travel along the famous Golden Circle—a scenic route through southern Iceland that covers 190 miles (306 km) of not-to-be-missed phenomena. First up is Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO-listed monument is filled with geological and historical wonders and marks a continental drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The shores of the park's Thingvallavatn Lake are also where one of the world's first democratic parliaments was formed.
After Thingvellir you will head towards Geysir Hot Spring Area where you can walk among the gurgling hot springs. Don't forget to check out the famous Strokkur geysir spout boiling water up 25 meters before you leave. Last but certainly not least is the maestic Gullfoss Waterfall. The mighty fall, rated by some authorities as one of the top 10 waterfalls in the world is the perfect photo stop so make sure to snap a photo or two before you start making your way back to Reykjavik.
