Iceland’s Breathtaking National Park

At the heart of the Golden Circle tour lies Thingvellir National Park, Iceland’s largest and most renowned national park.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its dramatic geological features, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Visitors can witness the shifting of these plates and explore the park’s serene lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.

Thingvellir is also historically significant, as it was the site of the Alþingi, Iceland’s national parliament, which was established in 930 AD.

The park’s rugged beauty and rich cultural heritage make it a must-see destination on any Iceland tour.

Geysers and Thermal Wonders

Leaving behind the dramatic landscapes of Thingvellir, the tour continues to the Geysir geothermal area – home to some of Iceland’s most impressive thermal wonders.

This is where travelers can witness the powerful eruptions of the Strokkur geyser, which shoots boiling water up to 40 meters into the air every few minutes.

Nearby, the Great Geysir, from which the term "geyser" originates, lies dormant but still an awe-inspiring sight.

Wandering the surrounding hot springs and fumaroles offers a unique opportunity to experience Iceland’s geothermal activity up close.

The guide provides insights into the science behind these natural phenomena, enriching the overall experience.

Cascading Waterfalls of the South

The tour next explores the cascading waterfalls of Iceland’s dramatic south coast.

Guests can marvel at the powerful Seljalandsfoss, where they can walk behind the curtain of water for a unique perspective.

They’ll also visit Skógafoss, one of the country’s biggest waterfalls, standing at 60 meters tall.

Further along the coast, the tour stops at the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, known for its striking basalt columns and powerful ocean waves.

This diverse array of natural wonders showcases the raw power and beauty of Iceland’s landscapes.

3. Explore the black sand beach of Reynisfjara.

Exploring the Black Sand Beaches

After marveling at the power and grandeur of the towering waterfalls, the tour shifts its focus to the captivating black sand beaches that dot Iceland’s southern coastline.

These unique and otherworldly landscapes are the result of volcanic eruptions, where the molten lava has cooled and been ground down into fine black sand.

Visitors can stroll along the serene shores, taking in the breathtaking views of the crashing waves and the dramatic cliffs that rise up in the distance.

The contrast between the dark sand and the azure waters creates a truly mesmerizing sight, making the black sand beaches a highlight of the South Coast experience.
