Meet your super jeep & expert guide and embark on today's adventures. If you hear anyone talk about Iceland excursions, they will be more than likely to bring up the Golden Circle. It’s featured near the top of almost every list of things to do in the country. The Golden Circle consists of three equally stunning locations in southwest Iceland: Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. These sites are renowned across the world and are as spectacular as they are unique.
Thingvellir National Park is an amazing site, steeped in history and folklore and surrounded by incredible geology. It has the honour of being the first of Iceland’s three national parks to be established. It is also the only one that has been granted UNESCO World Heritage Site status. It is a place where dramatic geology meets a millennium of fascinating history. Here, visitors to Thingvellir can discover the roots of this island’s formation, see the 2 tectonic plates of America and Eurasia, and how Medieval Icelanders created its democratic society.
The Geysir Geothermal Area is located within the Haukadalur Valley.
En route, it is possible to see the earth’s volcanic activity grow more intense. Steaming vents and chimneys are visible along the way. This settlement has a spa that is heated by hot water currents beneath the ground’s surface. Its steam rooms sit on top of bubbling hot pots, which reach a sweltering 60°C (140°F).
One of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland: Gullfoss waterfall. Visitors can find the waterfall less than ten minutes down the road from Geysir. This powerful waterfall is located in a plunging, ancient
valley and tumbles down two drops, from an overall height of 32 meters (105 ft). During its heaviest flow in the summer, it pours an average of 140 cubic meters (4944 cubic feet) of water every second.
