About this tour

Embark on a journey through Iceland’s most beloved route — the Golden Circle , a breathtaking showcase of the country’s natural wonders and geothermal marvels — with an authentic Icelandic touch at Efstidalur II , a charming family-run farm. This tour combines epic landscapes, rich history, and genuine local culture, offering the perfect blend of adventure and rural tranquility.

A Journey Through Iceland’s Legendary Golden Circle

Your adventure begins with the Golden Circle , Iceland’s iconic sightseeing route that weaves together three of the country’s most awe-inspiring landmarks — Þingvellir National Park , Geysir Hot Springs , and Gullfoss Waterfall .

• Þingvellir National Park

Step between two continents at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart. Walk through dramatic rift valleys, crystal-clear waters, and the birthplace of Iceland’s democracy — a landscape steeped in history and natural beauty.

• Geysir Geothermal Area

Feel the excitement build as Strokkur , Iceland’s most active geyser, erupts every few minutes, sending hot water skyward in a spectacular display of geothermal energy. The steaming vents and bubbling pools create a scene straight out of another world.

• Gullfoss Waterfall

Stand in awe before the mighty Gullfoss , one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Watch as torrents of glacial water cascade down into a rugged canyon, creating shimmering rainbows on sunny days — a sight that captures Iceland’s wild, untamed power.

• Brúarfoss Waterfall

Often called Iceland’s hidden gem — is a stunning, bright-blue cascade located along the Brúará River in southwest Iceland, near Laugarvatn and the Golden Circle. The waterfall isn’t particularly tall, but its strikingly vivid turquoise color and the way the water flows through a narrow crevice create a mesmerizing sight. It’s fed by glacial meltwater, giving it its distinctive hue.

A Taste of Icelandic Life: Efstidalur II Farm

After exploring the wonders of the Golden Circle, unwind at Efstidalur II , a welcoming family-owned dairy farm nestled in the countryside. Here, you’ll enjoy the warmth of Icelandic hospitality and get a glimpse into sustainable farm life.

  • Cold-Weather Accessories
  • Even during summer months, Iceland’s winds can be brisk. Bring gloves, a hat or beanie, and a scarf or neck gaiter to stay warm and comfortable during outdoor stops.
  • Sunglasses and Sunscreen
  • The reflection of sunlight off Iceland’s glaciers, rivers, and open fields can be surprisingly strong — even on cloudy days. Protect your eyes and skin with UV-blocking sunglasses and sunscreen .

  • Camera or Smartphone
  • Capture the unforgettable beauty of Þingvellir National Park , Gullfoss Waterfall , and Geysir Hot Springs , as well as the cozy charm of the Icelandic countryside. Bring a fully charged device or power bank , as cold weather can drain batteries faster.
