During your adventure, you’ll see the top attractions of the Golden Circle (Gullni Hringurinn), including Thingvellir National Park, Great Geysir (Great Geyser), and Gullfoss Waterfall (Golden Falls).

At Thingvellir National Park, you can explore untouched natural beauty intertwined with ancient history. It's where Iceland's first parliament, the Althingi, met in 930 AD. It’s also one of the world's oldest ongoing parliamentary institutions.

At the Thingvellir rift, explore the meeting points of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates across a narrow valley. Snap photos as your guide explains how these plates are slowly moving apart.

Continuing to the stunning Gullfoss Waterfall, you’ll be amazed by its double-tiered falls. If you're lucky, you might spot a rainbow in the mist. Lastly, the geothermal area of the Great Geysir is known for its hot springs and geysers.
