8-Hour Small-Group Golden Circle Tour with Kerid Crater from Reykjavik Port

Embark on an unforgettable eight-hour Golden Circle tour, ideal for cruise passengers docking at Reykjavik port. Travelers seeking a journey through Iceland's top natural wonders, including Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss falls, Kerid crater, and the Geysir geothermal area, should book this adventure now.

Your day begins with pickup from the Reykjavik cruise port. There, you'll greet your friendly guide and join a small group for an enriching exploration of Iceland's iconic landmarks. 

First, your driver will take you to the stunning landscapes of Thingvellir National Park. This area features a vast lake, a pristine waterfall, moss-covered rocks, and a fascinating rift valley.

The separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates formed the Almannagja gorge rift valley. This area provides a unique opportunity to walk between continents.

Thingvellir also holds significance in Iceland's cultural history as the site of Althingi, the country's first parliament, established in 930 AD. 

Next, you'll discover the treasures of the Geysir geothermal area. Here, you'll marvel at the explosive eruption of the Strokkur geyser and immerse yourself in a surreal landscape of steam vents and bubbling mud pits.

The Geysir geothermal area boasts several geysers, including the dormant Great Geysir, which gave all other geysers their name. Strokkur, however, steals the show with eruptions that occur approximately every five to ten minutes. It reaches up to 130 feet (40 meters), making it a mesmerizing spectacle for visitors.

The day's third stop is Gullfoss Falls, known as the "Golden Falls." The Hvita river feeds the falls, which plunge into a rugged canyon. When sunlight hits the spray, it creates mist and rainbows, an awe-inspiring sight. 

Ensure your camera is ready to capture lasting memories of this breathtaking cascade. Many say it's Iceland's most beautiful waterfall, so you won't want to miss it!

Your day finishes with a visit to Kerid crater, another excellent photo opportunity. Inside the crater is a tranquil lake, the turquoise water contrasting perfectly against the vibrant red walls. 

Kerid crater is part of a volcanic fissure that erupted around 6,500 years ago. You can walk up this inactive volcano and then down into its crater for an up-close encounter with its beauty. 

After a fantastic day exploring Iceland's most famous sightseeing route, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik port.
