The Plan

Golden Circle Adventure

- Snowmobile Option (Pearl Tour)

This is Iceland’s most popular tour and for good reason! This tour combines Iceland’s history with its unique geology and a breath-taking look at the various states of earth’s most vital resource, water.We journey from Iceland’s largest natural lake and geysers to waterfalls, glaciers, and rivers!

Thingvellir National Park

Our trip begins with a stop, roughly 40-minutes into our journey, at Thingvellir National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Not only does Thingvellir represent the setting of the world’s oldest parliament, the Althing, it’s also located in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia come together forming fissures and crevices along with Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

Geysir Hot Spring

From Thingvellir our journey takes us the hot spring we call Geysir (the geyser from which the word is derived). Although Geysir itself has been relatively dormant in recent years, its neighbor a few hundred meters to the west, Strokkur, gushes hot water every few minutes allowing plenty of time to set up for the next photograph, or as of the early 2000s, a selfie.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Continuing our journey Northeastwards and towards Gullfoss, or Golden Waterfall, which is the next stop on the Golden Circle Adventure. This spectacular waterfall in the Hvítá River is as magnificent when partly frozen in the winter time as it is fluid in the summer.

Lunch Options

There are plenty of options foodwise on the Golden Circle but the two we always recommend are Friðheimar Tomato Farm and Skjól, which has some of the best pizza Iceland has to offer.

About this tour

My wife and I spent three days in Reykjavik and seven days on a guided trip around the southern, eastern and northern coasts of Iceland. The weather was glorious for almost our whole stay.
