Iceland's Golden Circle offers an unforgettable mix of geology, history, and natural beauty. Begin at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet and Iceland's first parliament was founded in 930 AD. Explore waterfalls, volcanic rocks, and the Silfra fissure, where you can dive between continents.
Next, visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes amid bubbling springs and steaming vents. Just 10 minutes away, witness the powerful beauty of Gullfoss waterfall, plunging into a canyon with rainbows often arching through its mist. Cap off your journey with a tour of The Lava Tunnel (Raufarhólshellir), a 5,200-year-old lava tube rich in color and volcanic history.
