About this activity
Explore Iceland's most iconic natural wonders—Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal springs, and Gullfoss waterfall—plus the striking Kerid crater lake, all in one immersive 9-hour journey. This small-group tour distinguishes itself with an exclusive stop at Friðheimar Farm, where you'll tour working horse stables and innovative geothermal greenhouses while learning about Icelandic heritage and sustainable farming.
The Golden Circle is the name commonly given to a combination of three sites of special significance in the west of Iceland. These sites are Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. All our Golden Circle tours also include a visit to Kerid crater lake (and include the admission ticket). This small group Golden Circle tops the experience by adding a visit to fabulous Fridheimar Farm where our guests are greeted with a guided visit in the farm's stables and greenhouses. Fridheimar has rightfully gained a reputation for its outstanding greenhouse culture, quality horses, and warm welcoming.
The premium Golden Circle tour takes your little group of maximum 18 passengers around in a comfortable minibus. We visit all above mentioned places of interest and more as we attempt to share with you some of the highlights of Icelandic history and nature all in one magnificent route through the Icelandic countryside.
