CÍRCULO DORADO, BLUE LAGOON Y AURORA

Once everyone is on board, we head east out of the city towards our first stop of the day, Thingvellir National Park.

Thingvellir is perhaps the most striking above ground example in the world of the mid-Atlantic ridge. This ridge separates the North-American and Eurasian continental plates. Take a pleasent stroll along the Almannagjá gorge, the boundary between the plates. Your guide will also give insights into the historical importance of the area, the site of Iceland´s first parliament, the Althing.

We continue on to one of the day’s highlights, the world famous Geysir. The original geyser no longer erupts regularly, but its smaller cousin Strokkur can be relied upon to erupt every 10 minutes or so. You will have time here to witness steaming hot water shoot up to 30 metres in the air. Other steaming pools and streams can be seen at this location as well. 

After Geysir, we head over to Gullfoss. Gullfoss waterfall is one of Iceland´s most beloved falls and for good reason. The sheer volume and power on display here is impressive.
There are several viewing point and walkways here that offer different perspectives on this magnificent site.

Kerið Volcanic Crater

Next, our journey now take us in the direction of Kerið. This Volcanic Crater lake is the remnant of an eruption which took place some 3000 years ago. The crater measures 270 metres and is 55 metres deep.
