Day 2 - Day tour visiting the Golden Circle, highlights include the Geysir Hot Spring, Strokkur, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Þingvellir National Park

After breakfast, you will join a day tour to the Golden Circle region of Iceland where you can see the famous sites of Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot spring area. During the day, you will have an opportunity to walk among the bubbling hot springs that surround the famous Geysir and watch the Strokkur geyser, which spouts water sometimes up to 30m high, every 10 minutes!

Visiting Þingvellir National Park, home of Iceland’s ancient Viking parliament and listed as a UNESCO’s World Heritage site, will be our first stop. There we take a walk to experience firsthand the geological phenomenon that is the Mid-Atlantic ridge.

From Þingvellir we head east over Lyngdalsheiði. Following a mountain road with great views of the rugged lava fields, passing Laugarvatn lake, we arrive at Haukadalur, home of the great Geysir and the reliable Strokkur geyser that erupts with 3 to 7 minutes intervals. Next, the magnificent Gullfoss awaits us as it comes cascading down the white colored Hvítá river.

Return late in the afternoon. Lunch will be a stop enroute at a local cafe.
