The Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous scenic route, taking in beautiful views and historic sites in a circular trip. With its proximity to Reykjavík and the airport and short travel between landmarks, the Golden Circle tour makes it simple to access for everybody.

Iceland's most breathtaking geological wonders await you on the Golden Circle, whether you spend one or several days there! 

Gullfoss, a stunning two-tiered waterfall in Iceland, plunges into a steep canyon on the Hvítá River. Its force, beauty, and rainbows make it a must-see natural phenomenon. At the Geysir Geothermal Area, the Strokkur geyser periodically erupts with scalding water. The original Geysir gave its name to all geysers worldwide. 

Þingvellir National Park, also known as Thingvellir National Park, is a place of both historical and geological significance in Iceland. In 930 AD, Iceland's Alþingi (national assembly) was created in Þingvellir, known as the "Parliament Plains," making it one of the world's oldest parliaments.  

Kerið, a volcanic crater lake in Iceland, features breathtaking red granite cliffs and blue water below. It's a stunning natural feature that facilitates crater rim walks.

From the serene Secret Lagoon in Flúðir and the graceful Faxi Waterfall along the Golden Circle to the relaxing geothermal waters of Laugarvatn Fontana and the hidden gem of vibrant blue Brúarfoss Waterfall, Iceland offers a tapestry of experiences. 

These attractions showcase the country's diverse beauty, geothermal heritage, and natural charms, each inviting you to explore and appreciate Iceland's rich landscapes and culture.

Friðheimar Tomato & Horse Farm is a greenhouse farm where you can tour the tomato cultivation process and enjoy a meal in a restaurant surrounded by tomato plants. On the other side, the horse farm offers an opportunity to get up close with these friendly horses and even go horseback riding through the picturesque Icelandic countryside. 

Efstidalur Farm Destination is a charming Icelandic farm offering dairy products, ice cream, and a glimpse into traditional farm life, making it a delightful stop for travellers.

Even though it is not a farm but a village, Sólheimar Eco-Village is a sustainable community in Iceland focused on environmental and social responsibility.
