This full-day Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik lasts about 8.5 hours, including travel time. It begins with a pickup in Reykjavik and a guided transfer to the first sightseeing stop. The tour follows the Golden Circle route, visiting three main sites: the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park. At Geysir, the Strokkur geyser erupts every 7 to 10 minutes. There is a 40-minute break here for lunch; food and drinks can be purchased but are not included. Next is Gullfoss waterfall, where the Hvítá river drops in two stages measuring 11 and 21 meters, with over 100 cubic meters of water flowing per second. The tour continues to Thingvellir National Park, known for its geological features and as the location of Iceland’s first parliament, established in the late 900s. The visible rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates can also be seen here. After Thingvellir, the tour visits the volcanic crater lake Kerid, which is 55 meters deep. The visit to Kerid lasts about 20 minutes. The tour concludes with a return drive to Reykjavik for drop-off. A professional guide is included, but food, drinks, and gratuities are not. Note that tours departing at noon or later do not include Kerid crater and last about 7 hours.
