This classic drive begins with a visit to Thingvellir, a National Park and site of the World’s oldest parliament. The entrance to Thingvellir is a walk through the Almannagjá gorge, visible evidence of plate tectonic activity on the European-American fault-line which still today is pushing the two continents apart and creating Iceland, geology’s youngest country. Onwards to serene Lake Laugarvatn and thundering rainbow-ringed Gullfoss, the golden waterfall.
From Gullfoss we drive into the thermal landscape around iconic Geysir with the erupting hot springs. You will catch glimpses of the mighty Langjökull glacier and also have the option of a snowmobiling, river-rafting or quad-biking.These activities are not included in the tour price. This day tour rounds off at the stunning blue-green lake in the volcanic basalt crater of Kerið. Return to Reykjavík in time for dinner. Depending on the season and weather there is every chance you will see the Midnight Sun or the Northern Lights
