This small-group bus tour lasts about eight hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík. The route covers the main sites of the Golden Circle along with the Kerid Volcanic Crater. The tour begins with a visit to Þingvellir National Park, a historic site where the Icelandic parliament met from 930 to 1798. It is also the location where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. After about 45 minutes here, the group stops at Laugarvatn, a geothermal area known for its lake and the local tradition of baking rye bread underground using natural steam. Next, the tour heads to the Geysir geothermal area. Visitors spend about 80 minutes walking paths around hot springs, including Strokkur, which erupts every few minutes up to 30 meters high. This stop also allows time to buy lunch or snacks. Then the tour continues to Gullfoss Falls, where the water drops 32 meters into a canyon over a 40-minute visit. The itinerary includes a drive through Reykholt, a small town with many greenhouses, before reaching Kerid Volcanic Crater. This volcanic crater is about 270 meters wide and 55 meters deep, with a 14-meter deep lake at its base. The visit here lasts around 30 minutes. On the return to Reykjavík, the route passes through the geothermal area of Hveragerði, known for its greenhouses powered by geothermal energy and horse farms. The tour also drives past the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant after a mountain pass. An optional visit can be added at the Geothermal Park and Bakery near Laugarvatn, where guests may taste geothermal bread and see the new Icelandic geyser called Eilífur. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included in the price.
