This small-group bus tour covers several well-known stops on Iceland’s Golden Circle route over about 11 hours. After pickup in Reykjavik, the first stop is the geothermal park in Hveragerdi where you can watch the Eilífur Geyser erupt every 15-20 minutes and walk among hot springs. There is also a chance to try geothermal baked sweet bread and see banana plants growing inside a greenhouse heated by geothermal energy. The tour continues to Kerid, a volcanic crater just a few thousand years old. Its colorful rocks come from iron deposits, and the crater’s bottom holds a shallow turquoise lake surrounded by moss-covered banks. Next is Gullfoss waterfall, a two-step cascade dropping 30 meters with glacier meltwater. Visitors may feel spray from the falls and see rainbows on sunny days. At the Geysir geothermal area, the tour spends time at Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 10-15 minutes. Then the group visits Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian continental plates meet. This park also has historical significance as Iceland’s first parliament site, where laws were made and disputes settled. Instead of returning straight to Reykjavik, the tour heads to Hvammsvik Hot Spring on Whale Fjord for a two-hour soak. The pools combine geothermal water from 1400 meters underground with seawater from the Atlantic, producing a continuous flow of water between pools before returning to the ocean. The tour includes entry to the hot springs, Kerid crater admission, English commentary, Wi-Fi and USB chargers on the bus, and pickup and drop-off in Reykjavik. Lunch is not included but there are stops to purchase food. Bathing suits are not provided, so bring your own.
