An exhilarating day exploring the iconic Golden Circle, from the historic rift valley of Þingvellir to the erupting Geysir and powerful Gullfoss, followed by a rewarding hike to Reykjadalur Hot Spring River.
Þingvellir National Park
Explore the historic site of Iceland's ancient parliament and walk between the tectonic plates of the North American and Eurasian continents, a truly unique geological wonder.
Geysir Geothermal Area

Kerið Crater
Discover Kerið, a vibrant volcanic crater lake with strikingly red slopes and a deep blue-green pool. A path allows you to walk around the rim and down to the water's edge.
Reykjadalur Hot Spring River
Embark on a moderate 3.7-mile hike (3-4 hours) through a scenic geothermal valley to a warm river where you can bathe. The trail offers stunning views of steam vents and colorful hills.
