Buckle up for this 8-hour Golden Circle tour by bus from Reykjavik. Adventure on this famed loop road in southwest Iceland, home to trolls and elves and some of the country's most significant geological wonders.

Start in the geothermal Geysir Hot Spring Area. Watch the gurgling pools of water and wait in anticipation as the active Strokkur spouts steaming water 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.

Continue to the Gullfoss Waterfall ("Golden Falls") – one of Iceland's iconic and wild landmarks that cascades through a vast canyon. Feel the spray of the waters of the glacial Hvítá River as the falls plummet down into a 32-meter deep crevice.

Stop at Þingvellir National Park and stand on The Bridge Between the Continents overlooking the rift valley. The split gorge is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pull apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

See more of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the jagged outcrop of the Rock of Law – the seat of the Vikings is said to be the oldest parliament in the world.

Complete the loop of natural sites with a final stop at Lake Kerið, set within the steep slopes of a red volcanic crater. Pass through the Icelandic farms of the south before returning to your original starting point in Reykjavik.
