Dinner
Details: Golden Circle excursion
Experience all the geological diversity that Iceland has to offer with a visit to the Tingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that falls on a rift between two tectonic plates. Then make your way to the Great Geysir, watch the Hvítá river disappear into the earth at the Gullfoss waterfall, and watch the Strokkur erupt.
Details: Thingvellir National Park visit
Visit Thingvellir National Park, the most significant historical site in Iceland since the Alpingi was established there, the original site of the Icelandic Parliament, founded in AD 930, and situated along the mid-Atlantic ridge. The long deep cracks, running from the north-east to the south west, give the landscape the appearance of a crevassed glacier. The peaks of the national park are covered by snow amongst the country's largest lake, Lake Thingvallavatn. Here you can enjoy a range of spectacular walks with beautiful scenery.
Details: Great Geysir Strokkur
Nearby, the "Great Geysir" Strokkur spouts and sprays water 30-35 meters in the air every 3-8 minutes. Photographers will have to be quick, or they'll miss the eruptions, which last only a couple seconds. Around the site are lots of colorful hot springs, steaming vents, warm streams, and psychedelic algae and mineral deposits.
Details: Gullfoss waterfall
If Iceland had a star attraction, then Gullfoss is certainly it. This waterfall is not necessarily the largest in Iceland, but is by far the most impressive. Here, the river Hvita drops a total of 32 meters in two falls. The canyon above them is 70 meters deep and 2.5 km long. When the sun is shining, you are likely to see a rainbow through the ample spray that forms.
Details: Gelato tasting at Efstidalur farm
Make a tasty stop on the Golden Circle and visit this unique recently renovated farm to take part in a gelato tasting experience. Sit back, enjoy the gelato while watching the cows through the windows.
Details: Fridheimar Tomato Eco-farm visit
