General tour description

This is a fully customizable tour so no two tours are alike, but the following is a general outline of how we normally operate our golden circle tour:

The tour commences with a visit and exploration of the captivating Þingvellir National Park, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you'll have the opportunity to stroll along a pathway within the rift valley situated between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia.

Following this, our journey takes us Iceland’s Largest farming community often referred to as the southern low-lands. We will visit the beautiful dairy farm Efstidalur, where it possible to try some of their products. A true farm to table experience.

Next we head to the Haukadalur geothermal region, where you can witness the awe-inspiring Geysir, renowned as the original "geyser," alongside its more active counterpart, Strokkur, which erupts with steaming water every few minutes.

Concluding the Golden Circle trifecta is the visit to the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland’s second most powerful waterfall.

After the visit at the waterfall we will head to Friðheimar tomato farm, where we will learn how we are able to grow produce all year long utilizing the geothermal hot water and readily available renewable electricity.

On the drive back to town we visit the ancient collapsed volcanic crater Kerið. A very interesting geological feature that speaks to the volcanic nature of the island.

Side note:

Somewhere along the way we will stop for lunch or refreshments. There are numerous options to chose from. Most popular are either the restaurant at Efstidalur dairy farm, or The restaurant in the greenhouse at Friðheimar, however they require a reservation so let us know if you want us to attempt to book a table for your group.

Possible Add-ons

One of the following activities can be added to the Golden Circle tour (For an extra fee), please contact us before making the booking and we will send you a quote:

  • Learn about farm life in Iceland at Fridheimar, where the star of the show is tomatoes.

    The farm harnesses geothermal energy and uses artificial lights and a climate-control system to grow tomatoes and other vegetables all year round.

    Seize the chance to eat in the greenhouse alongside four different varieties of tomato plants. You'll get to try tomato soup, tomato ice cream, and even tomato beer. In the summer months, you can also check out the horse show, and meet the horses at the stable.

  • The Secret Lagoon natural pool is located in the village of Fludir in the Golden Circle area.

    The historical surroundings have been kept natural and simple for a unique and authentic experience. The pool is surrounded by several hot springs, including a little geyser, providing the pool with fresh warm water, maintaining a temperature of 38-40 °C throughout the year.

    In the winter the northern lights can often be seen in the area and what better way to experience the light show than relaxing in the warm water surrounded by the steam from the earth?
