Golden Circle Tour Express
Discover Iceland’s most iconic sights on our Golden Circle Tour Express, a carefully curated
journey that captures the breathtaking beauty, geological wonders, and cultural history of
Iceland—all in one memorable day. This express tour is designed for those who want to
experience the highlights of the Golden Circle while making the most of their time. You’ll visit
the awe-inspiring Kerid Crater, the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, the famous Geysir hot
springs, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Þingvellir National Park. Join us for an
unforgettable adventure through Iceland’s most famous natural and historical landmarks.
Tour Highlights:

 Kerid Crater
Your first stop is the stunning Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater lake known for its vibrant
blue-green waters and stark red and black volcanic walls. Formed around 6,500 years ago,
this 55-meter-deep (180-foot) crater is one of the few caldera lakes in Iceland with such vivid
colors. Visitors can walk along the rim for panoramic views or descend the pathway to the
water’s edge, where you can feel the serene beauty of this ancient natural wonder. The
contrasting colors of the red volcanic rock, green moss, and blue lake make this a unique
and unforgettable sight.
Gullfoss Waterfall
Next, we visit the iconic Gullfoss Waterfall—Iceland’s most famous waterfall. Translating to
“Golden Falls,” Gullfoss is a two-tiered cascade that drops a total of 32 meters (105 feet) into
a rugged canyon carved by the Hvítá River. As you approach the viewing platforms, you’ll
feel the powerful mist rising from the falls, and on sunny days, you may even catch a
rainbow arching over the water. Gullfoss offers multiple viewing angles, allowing visitors to
get close to this roaring force of nature and appreciate its sheer size and power. This stop is
a photographer’s paradise and a must-see for nature lovers.
Geysir Geothermal Area
Our next stop takes you to the world-famous Geysir geothermal area, home to the geyser
that gave its name to all others. Although the Great Geysir itself is currently dormant, nearby
Strokkur erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water up to 10-15 meters (33-49 feet)
into the air. The Geysir area is full of hot springs, bubbling mud pots, and fumaroles, all set
against a picturesque geothermal landscape. Walking through this active geothermal area
offers a unique opportunity to witness Iceland’s volcanic power up close and feel the earth’s
raw energy beneath your feet.
Þingvellir National Park
The final stop on the Golden Circle Express is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site of immense historical and geological significance. Þingvellir is where Iceland’s
parliament, Alþingi, was founded in 930 AD, making it one of the oldest parliamentary sites
in the world. The park is also a geological marvel, situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where
the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Visitors can walk between
the plates in the Almannagjá Gorge, one of the few places in the world where you can
witness two continental plates meeting above sea level. Þingvellir’s natural beauty, with its
lava fields, crystal-clear waters, and historical landmarks, makes it a must-visit for any
Iceland itinerary.
