Golden Circle & Horse Riding Tour

On the morning of your tour, you'll be picked up from your selected pickup point or the Reykjavik bus station. A 40-minute bus ride will take you to Thingvellir National Park.

This valley has significant historical, cultural, and geological importance being the meeting point of two tectonic plates and the site of important Icelandic institutional meetings.

After visiting Thingvellir, we'll return to the bus and head to Geysir, a large geothermal area where you will see Strokkur, a geyser that erupts columns of boiling water up to 20 meters into the air. The term geyser originates from this area.

Next, we will visit the stunning Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, located in a canyon on the Hvítá River. Its sheer size offers dramatic beauty.

Afterward, the bus will take you to the Eldhestar region, located an hour away, where horses will be waiting. You will embark on a horse riding tour of Hveragerði, part of the Hengill volcano, showcasing Icelandic nature.

After an hour of horseback riding, you'll return to Reykjavik by bus, arriving around 7 pm.
