Description
Prepare for an extraordinary day filled with breathtaking landscapes, fascinating history, and authentic Icelandic experiences on the Small Group Golden Circle Tour with Kerið Crater and Friðheimar Farm!
The adventure begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Here, you can walk through a dramatic rift valley and discover the historical site where Iceland’s first parliament was founded over a thousand years ago.
Next, feel the earth come alive at the Geysir Geothermal Area. Watch in awe as the famous Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water high into the sky in a thrilling natural spectacle.
The tour continues to the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. Listen to the roar of glacial waters as they plunge into the rugged canyon below, sending mist into the air and creating a magical atmosphere.

Surrounded by lush greenhouses, you’ll have the option to enjoy a fresh, homemade meal in a unique setting where tomatoes grow all around you. Indulge in delicious tomato soup and warm bread made right on the farm. (Lunch is optional and not included in the tour price.)
The journey continues to the stunning Kerið Crater Lake, a volcanic crater filled with vibrant turquoise water, surrounded by striking red volcanic rock. Walk along the crater’s rim and take in the incredible scenery, where the contrast of colors creates a perfect photo opportunity.
Throughout the day, a knowledgeable and friendly guide will share fascinating stories and insights about Iceland’s geology, history, and culture. Travel comfortably in a modern minibus equipped with free Wi-Fi, allowing you to capture and share every amazing moment.
