DAY 2

Golden Circle Day Tour & Northern Lights

This day excursion introduces us to some of the most interesting and best-known natural phenomena in Iceland, along the infamous Golden Circle route. It includes the Geysir area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park.

We start our day by driving to Thingvellir National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) which holds a special place in the hearts of Icelanders, with many historically important events having taken place here through the centuries. At Thingvellir, the Icelandic parliament Althingi was founded in 930 and in the year 1000 Icelanders adopted Christianity. Geologically, it is also unique. This is where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly drifting apart and you can clearly see the effects of the plate movements, with open cracks and fissures visible in the earth’s crust. After taking a walk through the exceptional landscape of Thingvellir, we continue our journey to the famous geothermal area around the hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. Here we will see numerous small springs boiling and bubbling, and the Strokkur hot spring – which ejects its column of water high into the air every 5 – 10 minutes or so.
