Highlights
Description
Get ready to experience the natural beauty of Iceland in a whole new light with our midnight sun tour of the Golden Circle. As we head out of the city, you'll pass by charming Icelandic farms before arriving at Thingvellir National Park, the first national park in Iceland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Hakið, a stunning viewpoint overlooking Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland, we'll make our way down to Almannagjá, where you'll see Öxarárfoss, a man-made waterfall that was created by Vikings to channel the Öxará river into Almannagjá.
As we continue through the park, you'll see the same beautiful scenery that was featured in Game of Thrones. Next, we'll head to the Geysir hot springs geothermal area in Haukadalur valley, where you'll witness the colorful hot springs and mud pools that make this area so unique. While Geysir may be dormant, its neighbor Strokkur still spouts every 5-8 minutes, shooting 30 meters of scalding geothermal water into the air.
The last stop on our tour is Gullfoss waterfall, also known as Golden Falls. This magnificent tiered waterfall is considered the queen of all waterfalls in Iceland, plunging 32 meters into a narrow basaltic gorge. The white glacial river Hvítá, fed by the Langjökull glacier, gives Gullfoss its distinctive white and blueish color, and on sunny days, you'll be treated to the sight of a spectacular rainbow, or even a double rainbow, created by the mist rising from the falls.
All of this will be seen in a whole new light, as we'll be touring during the midnight sun season, from May 20th to August 16th, when the sun never fully sets. Don't miss your chance to absorb the stunning landscapes of the Golden Circle illuminated by the warm glow of the midnight sun.
