Þingvellir National Park
Þingvellir National park became the national park in 1930, exactly one thousand years after the Althing, first Icelandic parliament was founded here in 930 AD. Icelandic nation's most powerful leaders met and decide on all legislations, laws during the Viking-age justice. We can call Althing also the first democratic parliament in the world. Þingvellir National Park is home for many rare world's natural phenomenons. For example, its location in the rift valley is where Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Þingvellir has also a beautiful waterfall, a natural lake Þingvallavatn, and more. Þignvellir is a place to not miss.

Gullfoss Waterfall
A waterfall that got its name after the golden color of its water as it churns up silt and sediment. Gullfoss waterfall is situated on the river Hvítá and it has two stages, and together the waterfall makes 54 meters of down running water. There is a lot of stories behind the Gullfoss, and also why this majestic waterfall got the name "golden falls", and our best-experienced guide will gladly share with you on your tour. But for now, one of them is that Sigríður Tómassdóttir stopped any plans of buildings at Gullfoss waterfall which were supposed to make from this waterfall an electricity generator. This story is most likely false, but people like to share it with visitors.

Geysir Strokkur and more
The third stop of the Golden Circle tour part is at amazing, little bit smelling but warm Geysir Geothermal area. Here you can find geyser Strokkur that erupts every 6-10 minutes, and even it is not always the strongest eruption, it is so worth seeing it. All Geysir Geothermal area is a place we always ask you to pay respect to nature in the area.
