About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Itinerary

The Golden Circle tour allows visitors to get in tourch with some of Iceland´s most famous and exiting natural phenomenaalong with a rafting tour on Hvítá glacial river.

Our first stop is at Þingvellir National Park, which is one of Iceland´s most significant historcal sites because it was at Þingvellir that Iceland´s first parliament was founded in 930 AD. We head along mountain tracks toward the world renowned geothermal area, Geysir, tho one spouting hot spring on earth after which all other geysers are named. After lunch we continue on to Gullfoss "the Golden Waterfall" where your proximity to its edge is so close you can feel the mist of the glacial water on your face. From Gullfoss we kick the action into highte gear to get even closer to Iceland´s nature: White Water Rafting in Hvítá glacial river.
After an action-packed day we drive through the countryside, make a short photo stop at the extinct volcanic ctater Kerið and pass by the greenhouse village in Hveragerði, from which many of Icalnd´s vegetables are supplied, on our way back to Reykjavik.
