Description
Discover Golden Circle & Waterfalls, with Fridheimar Farm & Kerid Tour, a richly varied Icelandic experience where the Golden Circle’s tectonic history, geothermal energy and glacial power come vividly to life.
Few journeys deliver this much variety so naturally: Iceland’s early parliament, an erupting geothermal valley and a thunderous glacial waterfall unfold within one beautifully paced route.
Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, Kerið volcanic crater, Friðheimar tomato greenhouse create a day of bold contrasts, engaging stories and beautifully chosen moments that reveal why this part of Iceland remains unforgettable.
Itinerary
Reykjavík departure
Leave the city for Iceland’s most celebrated scenic route
Set out from Reykjavík as colourful neighbourhoods give way to broad skies, lava-covered ground and the low mountains of the southwest. The easy escape from the capital makes the Golden Circle wonderfully accessible while still delivering a day that feels rich in scale and variety.
Þingvellir National Park
Walk between continents at Iceland’s historic assembly site
Stand inside the great rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly pull apart. Þingvellir is also the birthplace of Alþingi, founded here in 930, so dramatic cliffs, clear water and Iceland’s national story share the same UNESCO-listed landscape.
Geysir geothermal area
Feel the anticipation as Strokkur erupts
Wander among steaming vents and bubbling pools while Strokkur builds towards its next eruption. The burst arrives with thrilling speed, launching hot water above the valley as visitors gather beneath the plume—a lively, unmistakably Icelandic spectacle surrounded by colourful geothermal earth.
Gullfoss waterfall
A two-tiered cascade of immense beauty and power
Watch the Hvítá river sweep across broad rock shelves before plunging through two dramatic tiers into a rugged canyon. Spray rises into the light, rainbows often appear in sunshine and the close viewpoints make Gullfoss feel both vast and wonderfully immediate.
Kerið volcanic crater
A vivid lake inside a beautifully preserved caldera
Admire the near-perfect oval of Kerið, where iron-rich volcanic rock surrounds a jewel-toned crater lake. The short rim path reveals the caldera from several angles, while the descent to the water gives a completely different sense of its colour and elegant volcanic form.
Friðheimar tomato greenhouse
Warm hospitality and fresh flavour inside a greenhouse
Step from the Icelandic weather into a bright greenhouse where tomatoes thrive year-round with geothermal heat and carefully controlled light. The visit combines inventive farming, welcoming atmosphere and the irresistible aroma of fresh tomato dishes—an engaging taste of modern Icelandic ingenuity.
Return to Reykjavík
A scenic finish after an unforgettable day
The journey home gives the landscapes room to linger: Þingvellir’s rifts, Strokkur’s plume and Gullfoss’s spray remain vivid as the route crosses South Iceland towards Reykjavík. Drop-off follows the arrangements confirmed for the booking.
