About this experience
Probably Iceland's most popular day trip and for good reason. No trip to Iceland, whether a weekend break or a longer holiday, would be complete without taking the Golden Circle. Visiting the continental rift at Thingvellir National Park, seeing Gullfoss Waterfall, the bubbling hot springs and the spouting geyser Strokkur in the Geysir Hot Springs area.
