Golden Circle Tour


The Golden Circle is the most popular tourist route from Reykjavik.




This route is covering about 300 km distance from Reykjavik to central Iceland and back. The three main stops on the route are the national park Thingvellir,
the waterfall Gullfoss (golden falls) and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur.
Thingvellir is a national park containing both historical and natural beauties. Nowhere else the continental drift is more visible than in Thingvellir.
Gullfoss is a spectacular waterfall that is a must see. The two grand geysers, Strokkur and Geysir, are both interesting to watch.

Though Geysir has been inactive for a long time, Strokkur, on the other hand, continues to erupt at every 5-10 minutes interval.
