Posted in All year day tours, Day Tours

Visit Iceland’s natural treasures on the Golden Circle photo tour.

The golden circle tour takes you on a very accessible trip around South West Iceland.

Þingvellir – the scene for Iceland’s 1000 year old parliament; Gullfoss – Europe’s largest waterfall takes center stage and does a few curtain calls; Geysir – where the hot springs boil and the geysers erupt. With a special emphasis on photography, this tour is designed to get you to the best spots in your own time and in comfort.

Locations and activities:
We head straight out of Reykjavik into the Icelandic nature where some of the most interesting and amazing landscapes are in a short distance from each other. The small groups tours are flexible and one2one photographic assistance may be provided.

The Golden Circle is feature rich and adventure packed!!

We make major stops at Kerid, Thingvellir National Park, Geysir and Gullfoss. There are restaurants, shops and cafes at Gullfoss and Geysir, but this depends on day-time tours.

Geysir is the home of the original Geyser. Although Geysir doesn’t erupt very often, his little brother Strokkur should offer several eruptions during your visit. This is fun and exciting nature photography. The area also offers many other beautiful hot spring features and multi-coloured geothermal pools.
