The Golden Circle tour allows you to visit some of Iceland’s most stunning sights, starting with the Geysir geothermal area where the Strokkur geyser shoots a column of water up to 30 metres (98 ft.) into the air every 4-8 minutes in a thrilling display of nature’s forces. The visit continues with Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 m (105 ft.) deep. The Golden Circle tour also includes the historical and geological wonder that is Thingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimetres per year.
At Geysir geothermal area, we will see the hot spring Strokkur shoot a column of water high up into the air every 4-8 minutes. Gullfoss waterfall is a two-step waterfall filled with meltwater from Langjökull glacier and tumbles into a deep crevice.
Additionally, we visit the Fridheimar greenhouse where we learn about the magic methods of managing pests by using biological controls and to grow delicious tomatoes in a eco friendly way with the aid of geothermal heat which Iceland has in abundance.
