See Iceland’s geological wonders

Hop aboard your tour bus and head into the enchanting wilderness of Iceland with an expert guide. As you enter Thingvellir National Park, prepare to be awestruck by stunning cliffs, meandering rivers, and deep gorges. Shortly after this, you will get a chance to visit one of the country’s most sought-after attractions, the Geysir Hot Springs. Here, you will see the Strokkur Geyser shooting steam and water high into the air every few minutes. Gullfoss Waterfall will be the final stop on the Golden Circle Tour, where you will see the glacial waters of the Hvítá River thunder down through the rugged canyon, dropping 32m in two stages. You’ll likely catch sight of the golden-hued spray that lent this waterfall its name.

A quest for the Aurora Borealis

After a break for dinner and time to explore Reykjavik, your guide will take you on a quest to find the elusive Northern Lights. They appear as a green arc with fuzzy edges. The bottom of the arc is sharp, while the upper edge is more blurred. Occasionally, the arc can become active and shift, creating a curtain-like effect. If you're lucky enough to spot the lights, you'll get instructions on setting up your camera to capture it. Upgrade your Golden Circle adventure with a stop at the unique Kerid Crater, then cozy up with hot chocolate as you search for the Northern Lights.
