Golden Circle Superior with Kerid and Fridheimar Farm

 

Taking the Golden Circle route is a must do activity for travellers visiting Iceland. Our tour encompasses the best that the route has to offer. After being picked up in Reykjavík we will drive into the interior to the most historically important part of Iceland, Thinvellir. A site that was home to the nations first parliament dating back to over a thousand years ago. Also coveted for it’s natural splendor, the UNESCO heritage has a spectacular landscape forged by the meeting point of the Eurasian and American tectonic plates.

Onwards to Geysir in the Haukadalur valley, the hot spring area that boasts a plethora of geothermally active springs and geysers, including the magnificent Strokkur, Litli-Strokkur and Smiður. Though Geysir itself is rarely active these days, Haukadalur Valley boasts a plethora of hot springs and geysers, including the powerful Strokkur, Smiður and Litli-Strokkur. Strokkur is, arguably, the country’s most famous hot spring, shooting vast jets of boiling water from 20 metres up to 40 metres high. If you miss your first selfie attempt don’t worry as it erupts every 6-10 minutes.

Next on the itinerary is Gulfoss, translated as the Golden Falls, named as such for the dazzling reflections you can see from the mist that often lead to multiple rainbows. With two big drops this is a big highlight of the trip as only witnessing it in person will you fully see the power of the mighty waterfall. Extra stops are included in this comprehensive tour of the circle with Fridheimar Greenhouse coming up, a beautiful setting where you will get the chance to try their delicious Tomatoes accompanied with an informative talk about the process from one of our experts.

We will visit Kerid, a volcanic crater lake formed when a cone volcano erupted and emptied it’s magma reserve. The cone has since collapsed onto itself forming the massive crater. Due to the nature of its formation, the colours and unique and different from other similar craters. Efstidalur farm is a great stop to enjoy homemade ice cream produced by the milk of the cows living at the farm. It’s impossible to get more local than this! Enjoy a range of different made in house at this family farm.

Finally you will get the chance to pet the famous Icelandic Horse at the horse farm at Brú. A perfect end before we head back to the capitol to be dropped off.
