The Golden Circle Superjeep Tour

This is our most popular tour and for good reason. By combining history and geology with an exciting look at the earth’s most vital resource, water, this tour has it all. We journey from lakes and geysers to waterfalls and glaciers observing water in every physical state, from liquid, to steam, to solid ice. On this tour we visit some of the most-known natural sights, that everyone should see.

Our trip begins roughly 40 minutes into our journey with a stop at Thingvellir National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not only does Thingvellir represent the setting of the world’s oldest parliament still in operation, the Althing, but it is also located on the crest of  Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the only place where the Ridge comes to the surface and we can see its composition. This rift has formed fissures and crevices along with Iceland’s largest natural lake, Thingvallavatn.

From Thingvellir our journey takes us to the geysir hot spring area. The big Geysir, that gave name to all geysers, has been in recent years unfortunately inactive. Its neighbor, Strokkur, about hundred meters to the west, gushes hot water every few minutes, allowing plenty of time to set up for the next photograph, or as of the early 2000s, a selfie. The best view on the sprouting geyser and the whole area is from the nearby hill, with new walking paths.
