The Golden Circle is an Icelandic classic for a reason: it features Þingvellir, a rift where two continents pull apart and the world’s first parliament was founded; Geysir, an area where the earth spouts boiling water every 10 minutes; and Gullfoss, a glacial waterfall that roars as it tumbles down into a canyon. The difference? Most tours stop there…this one doesn’t.


Add Kerið to the equation: a volcanic crater filled with milky turquoise water and surrounded by striking red rock. The combination of colors, along with the chance to walk along the rim or even descend to the lake (no swimming permitted, though), makes this an experience you cannot have anywhere in the world. On the way back, you’ll see several farming and geothermal areas near the town of Hveragerði.


All of these experiences take place in a small, compact group, creating a personal and friendly atmosphere for every traveler. 


If you want to experience the very best of Iceland in a single tour, this is your best bet. The classic side of Iceland with an extra dose of magic. Njóttu ferðarinnar – enjoy the journey!
