Activity itinerary

Kerid Crater

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The origin of Kerið began almost 6500 years ago during an eruption that was said to be grand, but when the magma emptied, the chamber collapsed in on itself, leaving the crater as the shape we see today. You can also take a walk along the crater rim or follow the paved path down to the bottom of the crater to get a better view. In winter, the lake often freezes over. Please note that we only stop at Kerið on our morning departures.

Gullfoss Waterfall

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Gullfoss Waterfall, or the “Golden Falls,” is a highlight of Iceland’s Golden Circle. Fed by meltwater from Langjökull, the country’s second-largest glacier, it drops in two stages—first 11 metres, then a powerful 21-meter plunge into a canyon—often creating mist and rainbows in the sunlight. Well-paved paths lead to several viewpoints, including an upper deck near the visitor centre and a lower deck closer to the falls. Note: the lower path may close in icy conditions.

Geysir

  • 1h 30m
Geysir Geothermal Area Named after the original geyser, the Great Geysir, which is no longer active. The area is filled with steam vents, bubbling pits, and sizzling ponds, with multicoloured patches dotted here and there. The main show of the site is the active Strokkur Geyser that gushes 20 metres up in the air every 5 to 10 minutes. The spectacular, lively sight is the highlight of the Geysir geothermal field. Another feature of the area is the bubbling hot springs and the steamy muddy fields, creating a sulfuric smell. The geysers create a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Iceland’s wonder. There’s a visitor centre close by, selling souvenirs, and local products, and offering many lunch options.

Thingvellir National Park

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Thingvellir National Park is one of Iceland’s most important sights, known for both its history and geology. It’s where the Vikings founded the world’s first parliament in 930 AD, and the site remains significant today. The park also lies on the only visible part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Highlights include Öxaráfoss waterfall, Almannagjá gorge, Hakið viewpoint, Silfra Fissure, and Þingvallakirkja Church, with famously clear water filtered through lava fields. Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2004) and a perfect stop for anyone interested in Icelandic heritage and Viking history.
