This full-day minibus tour from Reykjavik lasts about eight hours and covers Iceland’s main Golden Circle sites plus Kerið Crater. The trip begins with a visit to Þingvellir National Park, where guests walk through the rift valley formed between the European and American tectonic plates and explore the site of the world’s oldest parliament. Next, the tour stops at Bruarfoss Waterfall for around half an hour to see its distinctive blue water flowing over lava rocks. After Bruarfoss, the group heads to the geothermal area around Strokkur Geysir, where eruptions of hot water reach up to 20 meters high. The tour continues to Gullfoss Waterfall, where visitors spend about an hour viewing the multiple cascades and can buy lunch at nearby facilities including traditional Icelandic soup with a meat-free option. The final stop is Kerið Crater, a volcanic crater lake where guests can walk around the rim or descend to the water’s edge. The tour includes pickup and drop-off at select Reykjavik hotels or bus stops, transport in a climate-controlled Mercedes Benz minibus with up to 16 passengers, free WiFi and USB charging on board, and a local English-speaking driver-guide. Meals are not included but there will be a stop for food purchases or guests may bring packed lunches. Gratuities are not included.
