Golden Circle And Northern Lights Tour Itinerary

Starting With þingvellir National Park

Þingvellir National Park should be your first destination if you embark on a Golden Circle & Northern Lights tour. It is the location of Althing, the oldest parliament in existence today. The literal translation of Þingvellir is "the fields of parliament," a fitting name for this historic site.

Visitors have walked between North American and Eurasian tectonic plates to witness Öxarárfoss waterfall since 930 AD! Thingvellir National Park is also a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cherishing The Gullfoss Waterfall

Whether it's winter or summer, Gullfoss is an incredible sight to behold. With its multiple tiers of rushing water, the falls offer a majestic beauty that can't be captured in photographs alone.

On sunny days you'll even find several rainbows created from the mist! As one of Iceland's most impressive cascades, it needs to be experienced firsthand - come and see Gullfoss with your own eyes today!
