Iceland Golden Circle and Kerid Crater Private Tour

We visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and the Eurasian plates, are moving away from each other. Few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life. Thingvellir is also an important place in Icelandic national history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d. where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer. The name “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”.

The Geysir geothermal area hosts hundreds of colorful hot springs and two geysers, erupting hot springs. One is called “Geysir” and name giving for all the geysers in the world. Today, however, it erupts very seldom. The other geyser is called “Strokkur” and erupts every 5 minutes up to 40 meters.

The melting water from Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull, falls into a deep canyon forming the majestic “Golden Falls”. On a sunny day, you can see the glacier Langjökull in the distance and enjoy a rainbow in the midst of the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to happen!

Kerid Crater is a stunning volcanic crater lake located in the Golden Circle region of Iceland. It features vibrant red volcanic slopes surrounding a turquoise lake at the bottom, offering breathtaking views and a unique geological landscape. The crater is about 3,000 years old, and visitors can walk around its rim or even descend to the water's edge. It's an excellent stop for nature lovers and photographers, providing an unforgettable glimpse into Iceland's volcanic history. Accessible year-round, Kerid is a must-see for travelers exploring Iceland's natural wonders.
