The express tour includes the main attractions of the famous Golden Circle route, such as Thingvellir National Park, the site where the Icelandic parliament was founded in 930, and the split between American and Eurasian tectonic plates. We shall visit the Gullfoss waterfall to enjoy the sound of falling water and the waterfall’s power. We then stop at the Valley of Geysers to see the eruption of Strokkur, follow a trail along a field of small hot springs, and experience the energy of Icelandic nature.

Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park is known for both historical and geological matters. On the one hand, this is the place where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates split. On the other, it is a symbolically important place in the history of the formation of the Icelandic nation, the place of national assembly since the time of the first settlers of the Viking Age.
