The Golden Circle route in Iceland is a popular day trip that showcases three of the country's top natural attractions. Starting from Reykjavik, this 190-mile (306-kilometer) loop covers Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and the Gullfoss waterfall.

This route offers a mix of natural beauty, history, and geology, making it a must-see in Iceland.

Thingvellir National Park is a significant site in Iceland, both historically and geologically. Located about 28 miles (45 kilometers) from Reykjavik, it marks where Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, was established in 930 AD, making it one of the oldest parliaments in the world.

Geologically, Thingvellir National Park sits in a rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, creating dramatic landscapes with visible fissures and cliffs.

The next stop is the Geysir geothermal area. The Geysir geothermal area in Iceland is a must-visit spot known for its bubbling hot springs and active geysers.

Located in the Haukadalur valley, it's home to Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, sending a jet of steaming water up to 100 feet (12 meters) in the air.

While the area's namesake, the Great Geysir, is dormant primarily, the site still fascinates with its other geothermal features like mud pots and fumaroles.

The smell of sulfur and the constantly shifting steam create a unique atmosphere, showcasing Iceland's intense geothermal activity and natural power.

The final Golden Circle sightseeing tour destination is the Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss waterfall in Southwest Iceland is a breathtaking natural site on the Hvita river.

This two-tiered waterfall plunges in stages, first dropping around 36 feet (11 meters) and then another 69 feet (21 meters) into a deep, rugged canyon.

The sheer volume and power of the water, especially in summer when the glacier-fed river swells, make the Gullfoss waterfall a dramatic sight. The waterfall's name means "Golden Falls," inspired by the golden hue it takes on when the sun hits the spray.

Visitors can view the Gullfoss waterfall from various vantage points, appreciating its raw energy and the surrounding cliffs and open plains.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
