Product Description
The National Park at Thingvellir
A day tour to the magnificent national park at Thingvellir is one of the most popular destinations. Thingvellir, a rift valley between the Eurasian and North-American continental plates where you can see with your own eyes how the worlds of America and Europe are moving apart constantly. Thingvellir is the place where the Icelandic nation was formed, forged and sealed. A place intertwined with Iceland's historical beginning and culture from the vikings to modern time.
The Golden Falls
A waterfall that has been a landmark and admiration of Iceland’s people and their guests through the ages since the vikings.
Geysir
Geysir, actually Strokkur, is an erupting hot spring that delights its visitors by boasting an eruption almost every seven minutes. Sending cascades of hot water up to 70-80 ft. up in the air, thrillingly sending chills down your spine at the unimaginative forces laboring underground.
Kerid
Kerid or the “tub” is an old volcanic crater. Created in an eruption over 6500 years ago. This is a place that so tellingly shows you face to face what a volcano is all about.
Note: Hollywood claims this to be the place where Superman plunged unconscious to Earth … ha ha ha!
All these places are some of the gems of Icelandic natural treasures and no one will walk away from this tour unhappy.
Choice Tours allows lots of short stops all along the way for your pleasure and curiosity.
