This tour is perfect for those whose time in Iceland is limited. You can see the most popular attractions in only eight hours! Visit Geysir Hot Springs, Gullfoss Waterfall, Kerið Volcanic Crater and Þingvellir National Park during this magical trip. Follow the footsteps of Vikings by visiting the lava canyon - the place where the American and Eurasian continents are pulling apart!
Itinerary
The tour starts with a stop in Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing and the birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world. This is also where the gigantic tectonic plates of America and Eurasia have pulled apart and the resulting rift valley is right there before your eyes, on the shores of Iceland 's biggest lake.
Visit the Geysir Hot Springs , the home of the one-and-only original geyser and Iceland's most iconic natural attraction. Here the ground trembles and steaming hot water spouts spectacularly skywards from the famous Strokkur Geyser every few minutes.
Now for a leisurely walk down to Gullfoss Waterfall , which is an awesome sight to behold. Here a powerful glacial river cascades down 32 meters on two levels and into a narrow canyon with a thunderous roar. Simply put, if you only do one tour in Iceland , then this should be the one!
