The Golden Circle Classic

This popular excursion introduces you to some of the best-known natural phenomena in Iceland. We visit Nesjavellir power plant, a high temperature geothermal area situated in the picturesque landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn.

Entering Þingvellir, we’ll visit the Icelandic parliament Alþingi, founded in 930 AD making it the oldest known functioning parliament in the world. This geologically unique area is where the tectonic plates between America and Europe meet and are slowly drifting apart.

Continuing on, we reach the beautiful Gullfoss Waterfall and the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. Next, we’ll proceed to Skálholt Church, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops. On our way back, we’ll make a photo stop at the colourful volcanic crater Keria.

From there, we’ll travel through fertile agricultural areas to Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural village.

Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee visits to Nesjavellir in the wintertime.
