Description

The Golden Circle & FlyOver Iceland Tour combines Iceland’s impressive natural wonders with a breathtaking virtual flight experience. You’ll discover both the rugged landscapes of the Golden Circle and an immersive visual journey across the entire island.

The day starts with a visit to Kerið crater, an ancient volcanic crater filled with a bright blue lake. The steep walls of red and black volcanic rock contrast beautifully with the water, creating a spectacular view. This unique landscape lets you experience Iceland's volcanic origins up close.

Next, drive to the Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur Valley. Here you can see the geyser Strokkur shoot a powerful jet of water several meters into the air every few minutes. The surrounding landscape is filled with bubbling hot springs and plumes of steam, an impressive testament to the geothermal energy bubbling underground.

Not far from Geysir lies the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, also known as the “Golden Waterfall”. The Hvítá river plunges into a deep gorge in two powerful steps, creating an impressive and photogenic natural spectacle. As you walk along the edge of the waterfall, you can feel the spray and hear the roaring water, making the power of Icelandic nature even more intense.

The journey continues to Þingvellir National Park, a place of both historical and geological significance. This UNESCO World Heritage Site lies on the dividing line between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Here you can see the Earth’s crust slowly being pulled apart and walk through a breathtaking landscape of gorges, lakes and volcanic rock formations. Þingvellir is also the site of the world’s oldest parliament, established in 930, making the location extra special.

Finally, you’ll return to Reykjavík, where you’ll end the day with a visit to FlyOver Iceland. This state-of-the-art attraction takes you on a virtual flight over Iceland using a giant spherical screen and special effects such as wind, mist and scents. You’ll soar past majestic glaciers, active volcanoes, dramatic fjords and vast lava fields, giving you unparalleled views of the entire country.

This tour offers a perfect mix of adventure, nature and technology, allowing you to experience Iceland in a unique and unforgettable way.

Please note: for a hotel transfer you will be dropped off at FlyOver Iceland, a central location in Reykjavik

Pickup

Reykjavik

You will be picked up at the chosen pick-up location. Please note that there may be delays as people are picked up at different locations and traffic can cause delays. 

Volcanic crater Kerið

The remarkable crater lake, Kerið, is ​​​​another popular attraction on Iceland’s Golden Circle route, famous for its greenish lake water and colorful crater formations on its slopes. Kerið crater was formed approximately 3,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption when the volcanic chamber collapsed after the burning magma was exhausted. It is shaped like a perfect inverted cone and a path has been built so that visitors can view the site. As a bonus, Kerið crater has been a popular concert venue for many years!

Geysir Geothermal Area

An active geothermal area, the Geysir area has many fascinating features to see. Steam vents, bubbling pits, warm pools, with different colors, and the biggest highlight of the area, the Strokkur geyser which erupts every 5-10 minutes up to 20 meters (65.62 ft) high in the air, a real spectacle of nature. And the Great Geysir is a calm, blue depth of water nearby. A visitor center is right next to the area with shops and several lunch options.

Safety is important, so a reminder to visitors to walk alone along the trail as the steaming pits and hissing water boil beneath your feet at extremely high temperatures.

Gullfoss waterfall

Gullfoss Waterfall, also known as the “Golden Falls”, is a beautiful, wide waterfall that plunges 11 metres (36 ft), then 21 metres (68 ft), roaring down into the depths of the canyon, with cliffs rising up to 70 metres (230 ft). You will feel its powerful presence as you approach the waterfall and take in its stunning visuals and intriguing history. Gullfoss River is fed by the Hvítá River, or White River, which originates from the Langjökull Glacier.

Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park is a site of both geological and cultural significance and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.

Thingvellir is home to the exposed part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the divergent rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, meaning you are between two continents, here, in Iceland. The Öxarárfoss waterfall cuts through the ridge with a stunning 13-metre (42.65 ft) drop, which you will visit as you walk along the trail.

The world’s first parliament was established in Iceland, here in Thingvellir, in 930 AD. While standing at Hakið lookout, you can enjoy the breathtaking, panoramic view of the entire area. Þingvellir Church was consecrated in 1859, with a simple, elegant appearance, adding a historical, cultural atmosphere to the natural landscapes. The Almannagjá canyon is nearby, with clear glacial water flowing deep within the lava walls. The water comes from Iceland’s second largest glacier, Langjökull, which has cut through the porous lava fields below.

Your driver/guide will pick you up further down the Rift Valley.

FlyOver Iceland

After a wonderful day exploring the scenic wonders of the Golden Circle, you'll return to Reykjavik and be conveniently dropped off at FlyOver Iceland, located by Reykjavik's central Old Harbour.

Here, cutting-edge technology makes you feel like you’re virtually floating over Iceland. As you hang with your feet free, you’ll stand in front of a huge 20-meter spherical screen that takes you on an awe-inspiring journey over Iceland’s landscape. Glide over glaciers, waterfalls, mountains and volcanoes. While the ride takes in some of Iceland’s most famous landmarks, it also reveals hidden gems and lesser-known places. This immersive experience is sure to whet your appetite for travel, leaving you eager to discover more of Iceland first-hand.
