Discover Iceland’s essential trilogy on a private eight hour journey through Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss, with a farm to table dining experience woven into your day.
There is a reason this route has captured the hearts of travellers for generations. The Golden Circle reveals Iceland in three unforgettable acts, and on this private eight hour journey, you will experience each chapter at your own pace, far from the crowds.
Begin where history and geology collide at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart in slow motion. Walk the same ground where Viking settlers established the world’s oldest parliament over a thousand years ago.
Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the earth exhales in dramatic bursts of steam and boiling water. Watch Strokkur erupt with clockwork reliability, sending columns of water skyward against the Icelandic horizon.
The journey crescendos at Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall, where glacial waters thunder into a rugged canyon with raw, elemental force. Feel the mist on your face as you stand at the edge of something truly powerful.
Between these iconic landmarks, pause for a meal at a unique farm to table restaurant, where Icelandic ingredients are transformed into something memorable. Your departure time remains flexible, allowing you to start early and experience these wonders in relative solitude.
This is Iceland distilled to its essence. Ancient, alive and utterly unforgettable.
