If you are in Iceland for only a day, just take this tour and you get to see a lot of Iceland in a day.
The Golden Circle tour allows you to visit some of Iceland’s most stunning sights, starting with the historical and geological wonder that is Thingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimetres per year.
Next was the Geysir geothermal area where the Strokkur geyser shoots a column of water up to 30 metres (98 ft.) into the air every 4-8 minutes in a thrilling display of nature’s forces.
The visit continues with Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 m (105 ft.) deep.
Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the idyllic Friðheimar greenhouse cultivation centre, where you can learn about the magic behind growing delicious, pesticide-free tomatoes and cucumbers with the aid of the geothermal heat that Iceland has in abundance.
Thingvellir National Park
I was reminisced by the geyser and I must have stood there for an hour taking pictures. I just didn't have enough of it. The anticipation of when it will erupt is pretty thrilling, most times my reaction was pretty slow.
Gullfoss (Golden Falls)
When I first set eyes on the fall, I only have one word, WOW. It was so beautiful and I thought it was more beautiful than Niagara Falls. It was a long hike down to the falls but every step was worth it.
Friðheimar Greenhouse
I had the best tomato soup here, it was expensive $10 but it was really good.
