Your Experience

The first point of call on our Golden Circle Tour is the Þingvellir National Park. As you disembark from the bus, you are met with the most spectacular views looking over the park and towards lake Þingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest natural lake.

From Þingvellir, you’ll travel on to the next famous landmark of Iceland: the iconic Gullfoss waterfall! It’s hard to see from pictures just how vast and powerful this waterfall is, but up close, by walking along the path, you can feel the mist spray your face as the glacial water cascades down in to the deep and narrow Hvítárgljúfur canyon.

After witnessing the power of Gullfoss waterfall, the next experience the Geysir Geothermal area. Walk beside hissing steam vents, and sulphurous mud pots while you wait for the geyser to erupt. It can take moments or minutes, but when the spring erupts 20m into the air, you are in for a treat!

These three areas of Iceland will show you just a glimpse into the nature and beauty that we have to offer. So having explored the landscape and nature, it is time to experience the culture at Ölgerðin brewery. Here, you will journey through the history of brewing in Iceland, taste delicious beer and other beverages from Ölgerðin’s main brewery, as well as a selection of ambitious beers from their award-winning craft brewery.
