Itinerary
Discover Iceland's most popular tourist route and explore a fascinating lava tunnel with this combination Golden Circle tour. Experience a new world of Iceland's natural wonders.
Begin your adventure from Reykjavík at the Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel. This tunnel is one of the largest in Iceland, with impressive dimensions of 30 meters wide and 10 meters high. Before you head inside, an expert guide will provide you with a flashlight, a protective helmet, and a brief safety introduction. The lava tube ceiling has caved in near the entrance, creating beautiful columns of light and the tunnel walls are multicolored thanks to the different minerals within the rocks. It's a sight to behold.
Once inside the tunnel, you will walk through a world created by volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The tunnel's ceiling collapsed near the entrance, creating beautiful light columns and revealing a spectrum of colors on the walls. Learn about Iceland’s unique geology and enjoy the raw beauty of the underground world.
After exploring the lava tunnel, head to the Geysir geothermal region. Here, you will witness the Strokkur geyser erupting every few minutes, shooting steam and water high. Watch the heated water gurgle, bubble, and escape the ground with enormous force up to 25 meters high. This area is a powerful reminder of Iceland's geothermal activity and is where the term "geyser" originated.
Next, visit Gullfoss, Iceland's most famous waterfall. Watch as the water cascades down two tiers, creating a stunning natural spectacle. Take the time to walk down the ladder for a different perspective of the waterfall’s power and beauty.
The final stop is Þingvellir National Park, a place of great beauty, geological significance, and historical importance. Iceland's first parliament was established in this park, making it a key site in Icelandic history. Additionally, Þingvellir is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, offering a unique opportunity to see this geological phenomenon.
After a day filled with exploring some of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders and learning about its rich history and geology, the tour concludes. You will return to Reykjavík with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for Iceland’s unique landscape and cultural heritage. Join this extraordinary journey with the Golden Circle Direct and Lava Tunnel Raufarhólshellir combo tour, immersing yourself in Iceland's diverse natural wonders.
