Golden Circle Route Reykjavík

Today, me and my mom went on the "famous" Golden Circle tour. We spent the day touring the southern coast of Iceland. The highlight of the day for me was Pingvellir National Park where we actually stood on TWO continents at once! The north american and euro-asian continental plates come together at Pingvellir. This is by far the coolest thing I …

to be honest, i was kind of looking forward to just relaxing, soaking in some scenery and winding down here at my last stop in Iceland. after my stop in iceland on my way to europe, i was kind of indifferent on being here again and kind of felt i had seen almost all i was going to see with the time i had. I really didn't have a good experience at …

This morning was rather exciting, I managed to sleep through three methods of transportation, the car from the hotel to the airplane, the airplane to Reykjavik, and the car that picked us up from the airport to our first destination on the golden circle. The destination was the place where the first laws of the Icelandic people were composed and …

If you told me I would one day visit Iceland a few years ago I would have called you crazy. Even hearing the name makes me cold, and I hate the cold! Never say never I guess 'cause here I am, in Iceland. I visited my parents in Boston about a year ago. I was on the subway and there was an ad for a free stopover in Iceland en route to Europe. I …

The next day, we were supposed to drive to the Golden Circle and then our Hotel in Hvergarði, but I had a great idea to instead drive to our hotel and get on a tour to the Golden Circle. We weren´t sure if the road up there would be paved, so we wanted to take it easy on driving bad roads.. It worked out very well, we did an afternoon tour of the …

Another tour with GTI- Gateway to Iceland. They are a really good tour company. We really liked small group tours. This one was the Golden Circle route which mostly we saw the Geysers. They were small in comparison to Yellow Stone but still this is Iceland.

My photo's will show you more scenery and the geysers.

Enjoy.

21st February 2013. Got 6.40 flight from Belfast City to London Heathrow and was glad the flight got in about 8am as I had to pick up my case and drop it off in Heathrow for the flight to Iceland at 1pm as it could not be sent straight through. Of course it was 9.30 before could drop my bag off to go through to Iceland so had to wait an hour …

Our plan was to hit the road early as we only had one more day to explore Iceland's unique landscape. Last night, we had discussed going farther along the coast to see caves, seals and quaint fishing villages but had decided to go with a less ambitious route. We climbed in Thor’s trusty Suburban (with the squeaky door) and set off. As usual, …

Iceland, Iceland, Iceland... Wow... I have always been amazed by pictures of the Northern Lights and people saying that these pictures don't actually do it justice. So while we are up here in the Northern Hemisphere why not go check those bad boys out while taking in some amazing scenery like no other place in the world. Iceland is covered by ice, …

One Ring to Rule Them All
One Ring to Find Them
One Ring to Bring Them All
And in the Darkness Bind Them.

The Golden Circle is the thing to do in Iceland. It is a circle route out of Reykjavik that takes just about every tourist that visits Iceland to the same 3 sights - National Park Pingvellier, the waterfall Gullfoss (golden …
