The golden circle tour is the most popular tour in Iceland for tourists to visit Þingvellir National Park where the parliament was founded in AD 930 (nearly 1100 years ago). Here you will find out that these are actually two tectonic plates; the North American plate and the Eurasian plate moving away from each other at approximately 2cm annually. Our first major stop after leaving Reykjavík would be Geysir Geothermal Area which features an active geyser called Strokkur erupting roughly every five to seven minutes. In this same vicinity we come across several bubbling mud pots some large enough to boil your own egg in - perfect timing cooks them in just under seven minutes! Our final destination before heading back to Reykjavík via various photo opportunities along route one is undoubtedly the highlight of the day – Gullfoss or "golden falls" arguably the most magnificent waterfalls in Iceland itself. After spending time here taking photos etc., we'll make our journey back down south stopping off enroute briefly but importantly long enough to take pictures...and not forgetting another excellent opportunity to stretch those legs either side by visiting what has got to be possibly the worlds coolest outdoor heated swimming pool located near Selfoss town known locally as 'the Secret Lagoon'. Established since 1906 its warm waters bubbled directly from beneath ensuring guests enjoy their swim whatever the weather above may bring making it accessible throughout the entire calendar year. And best news yet? As part of our package deal today everyone gets treated to a special passenger rate saving us good 20 percent off admission price so why wouldn't anyone want to end such fantastic trip like that?!
