• Iceland Settlement Tours ehf - The settlement of Iceland is generally believed to have started in the latter half of the ninth century, when Norse settlers migrated across the North.
• Helgufoss - The first major landmark is Helgufoss, a tranquil and sparkling waterfall at the end of a short hiking trail. It’s just far enough from major tourist spots to offer not only stunning scenery but also a bit of peace and quiet. Afterwards, you’ll learn more about Viking traditions such as music, dances, and poetry.
• Thingvellir National Park - Next, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Thingvellir, a historic site and national park featuring some of Iceland’s most remarkable landmarks. The park is situated in a rift valley formed by the separation of tectonic plates, providing it with a unique geology unlike anywhere else on earth. Here, you can step out of the car and explore the park, admiring its many wonders.
• Oxararfoss - Then, you’ll arrive at one of Thingvellir’s main attractions: Öxarárfoss. This pristine waterfall flows from the river Öxará over the Almannagjá. The pool at its base is as clear as the river that feeds it, but legend has it that the waterfall turns red on New Year’s Eve every year.
• Silfra Fissure Arctic Adventures - Next is the Silfra Dive Site, an extraordinary spot for underwater adventures. Here, you can dive and snorkel right where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. As you continue beyond the park, you’ll hear all about the Aurora Borealis and the ancient legends people created to explain those northern lights. You’ll also learn about some of Iceland’s most famous mythical creatures, such as trolls and the Hidden People.
• Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths - Up next is an essential Iceland experience: the Geothermal Baths. These natural steam baths, fed by hot springs, are not only soothing but also rich in minerals that locals believe have healing properties. Beyond these, you’ll hear how Vikings kept themselves squeaky clean. Then you’ll get to know Egil, a Viking folk hero (or anti-hero, depending on who you ask) whose fascinating tale blends history and mythology into an iconic Viking saga.
• What’s On in Reykjavík - Tourist Information Centre - Your tour of Iceland’s famous Golden Circle begins in picturesque Reykjavik. From here, you’ll drive out into the stunning Icelandic wilderness toward the island nation’s most beautiful sights. As you drive, you’ll also hear plenty of history and mythology, including the settlement of Iceland, Viking traditions, and Norse myths of Loki, Odin, Thor, and more!
• Geysir Hot Springs - A popular geothermal geyser that erupts every 8–10 minutes and reaches heights of 20 meters.
• Gullfoss Falls - Following that is one of the Golden Circle’s most popular attractions: Gullfoss. This 100-foot waterfall truly lives up to its name, which means “Golden Falls” in English. Once you’ve finished admiring this impressive waterfall, you’ll hear about the significant role of magic in ancient Viking mythology and culture. Then you’ll discover what ultimately became of Egil the folk hero and learn the truth behind a couple of stereotypes about Vikings.
• Secret Lagoon Iceland - As you drive, you’ll next have the chance to visit the Secret Lagoon. This is one of the best geothermal pools in Iceland and is absolutely cherished by locals. Whether or not you choose to take a dip, your tour will introduce you next to a particularly unusual Icelandic folk tale, then explain the importance of greenhouses on this remote, rocky island.
• Fridheimar - Feeling hungry? Friðheimar is your next stop. This country-style, family-run restaurant offers tomato-based dishes from onsite greenhouses. If you plan to visit, however, you should call in advance, as this little establishment is remarkably popular.
• Skalholt - Your route brings you next to Skálholt Cathedral, one of the most important historic sites in Iceland. This church dates all the way back to 1106! The current structure isn’t that old, but the land and its history certainly are. Continuing past the cathedral, you’ll hear much more about the role of religion in Iceland and the sometimes bloody conflicts it created during the Viking Age.
• Sólheimar - Sólheimar is an eco-village in Iceland and is renowned for its ecological, artistic, and international community ethics. Its current population size is about 100 people. The village of Sólheimar is located in the south-western part of Iceland, in the municipality of Grímsnes- og Grafningshreppur.
• Kerid Crater - Finally, you’ll reach Kerid Crater. 3,000 years ago, a massive volcano collapsed, leaving behind this impressive crater. It’s a must-see spot and a great location for photos! After visiting the crater, you’ll head back toward Reykjavik. Along the way, you’ll get acquainted with modern-day Iceland, some more recent history, and what the future might look like for this unique nation. Your tour will conclude just outside Reykjavik.
