Description
From gushing geysers to bubbling mud pools and jaw-dropping waterfalls, youll see some of the countrys most stunning sights on this 8-hour round trip tour! Travel the famed Golden Circle from Reykjavik, and stop to see how Icelands food is grown geothermically at Friheimar Greenhouse.
Witness the power and tricky temperament of the geysers at the highly active 1,000-year-old Geysir hot spring area. The plopping sounds of the bubbling mud pits give them a life of their own. Stick around for a display from the reliable Strokkur, which shoots her water 30 meters (100 ft) into the air every few minutes! You can learn more about it all in the Geysir Center.
At the famous Gullfoss waterfall, youll witness one of Icelands most impressive natural wonders. The rock formations here are quite unique - the water plunges into a gorge of foam and seems to flow underground from above.
If your eyes cant handle any more mind-blowing beauty, look away when you get to ingvellir National Park. This UNESCO site is home to the worlds oldest parliament, the ancient parliament of the Viking commonwealth.
On the way back, youll visit the Friheimar Greenhouse cultivation center. Icelanders have harnessed the power of their landscapes here, using geothermal heat to grow fresh vegetables all year long. Friheimar is a fully working Icelandic farm, with lots of horses too.
