Experience the divine beauty of Iceland's Golden Circle on a full-day excursion that begins with a visit to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its historic beauty. Your second stop is Gullfoss Waterfall, a spectacular three-tiered waterfall that plunges 104 feet. The Golden Circle's final stop is Strokkur, an amazing explosive geyser that erupts every few minutes. Witness the mind-blowing power of the steamy spouts, which erupt from the ground at boiling temperatures and blast as high as 60 feet. Next, is lunch followed by a horse show featuring Icelandic horses, which is a pure breed dating back 1,000 years. After the show, visit the stables, touch the horses, take pictures and talk to the riders while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. Sit back and relax on the scenic ride on your way to back to the pier.
Special Notes:
The weather in Iceland is very unpredictable. TO recommends wearing sturdy, closed toe footwear with a non-skid sole, and waterproof outerwear.The order of sights may vary.
At Thingvellir National Park, the coach parks on an upper level (aka Hakid) where guests can have a great view of the park. The guide will walk with the group through the tectonic rift. The coach picks up group at the lowel level parking lot. Guests can opt to stay on the upper level and skip walking through the rift, but they are responsible on getting back to the coach on time and go with the driver to pick up rest of the group. Guests thus need to pay special attention to the guide explaining when to be at the bus, and remember the bus number. Guides usually wait 15-20 minutes for missing guests, then continues the tour.
All dietary requests shall be sent to TO 48 hours prior to call.
