Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour

What Is the Golden Circle Tour?

The Golden Circle is one of the most famous trips in Iceland, letting you see three amazing natural spots all in one day. It is the most popular sightseeing route in the country and the ultimate starting point for places to visit in Iceland. It is a 250-kilometer loop from Reykjavik that hits three main spots: Thingvellir, the Geysir area, and Gullfoss waterfall. It is the easiest way to see Iceland’s wild scenery without a lot of hassle.

This trip shows you how powerful nature really is. On one short drive, you can see where the earth is pulling apart, watch water shoot out of the ground, and see huge rivers flowing from glaciers.

Why Is the Golden Circle Tour Famous?

  • Geysir Geothermal Area: This area has the famous Geysir and Strokkur. Strokkur is active and shoots boiling water up to 40 meters high every few minutes.
  • Thingvellir National Park: This UNESCO site blends history and geology and is the only place where you can walk between two tectonic plates.
  • Silfra Fissure: Located in Thingvellir, this is one of the world's top diving spots where you can snorkel in crystal-clear water between two continents.
  • Gullfoss Waterfall: Gullfoss, or the Golden Falls, is a massive two-tier waterfall. It is so strong that the ground actually vibrates when you stand near it.

Tips for the Golden Circle Tour

  • Start Early: The popular stops get crowded by 10:00 AM. Leave Reykjavik by 8:00 AM to beat the tour buses.
  • Dress in Layers: The wind at Gullfoss is freezing, even in summer. A waterproof jacket is mandatory.
  • Timing: Expect a full-day trip of around 6–8 hours.
  • Geysir Tip: Do not wait for the Great Geysir, as it is mostly inactive. Instead, keep an eye on Strokkur, which blows off steam every couple of minutes.

The Golden Circle Tour is a must-do trip that brings together Iceland’s stunning landscapes and natural wonders in one easy, well-planned journey.
