Discover the Wonders of Thingvellir National Park and Strokkur Geyser
Your full-day tour begins at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its striking geological features. Here, witness the dramatic rift valley where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visibly drifting apart, creating deep fissures and rugged terrain. Explore the Almannagjá gorge, a prominent rift formed by tectonic activity, and view the clear waters of Lake Þingvallavatn, which lie within this geological wonderland. Learn about the park’s historical significance as the site of Iceland’s first parliament, where the Alþingi was established in 930 AD.
Next, experience the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur geyser erupts every 6 to 10 minutes, sending boiling water high into the air. The surrounding geothermal landscape features bubbling mud pools and steaming vents, offering a vivid display of Iceland’s geothermal energy.
Experience the Majesty of Gullfoss Waterfall with comfort and convenience
Finally, visit Gullfoss Waterfall, where glacial waters from Langjökull glacier cascade dramatically into a deep canyon. Beyond the breathtaking views and potential rainbows on sunny days, explore various vantage points to fully appreciate the scale and majesty of this natural wonder, providing unique photo opportunities and a deeper connection to Iceland’s natural beauty.
Enhance your experience with the convenience of round-trip transfers from select locations in Reykjavik, aboard an air-conditioned bus with free Wi-Fi. Also, choose from a selection of languages for your audio guide to make the most of this immersive journey.
