Gullfoss & Geysir Express Tour
Gray Line Iceland
Reykjavik
Iceland
Sun, 23rd November 2008 - Wed, 31st December 2008
All in one afternoon, this popular excursion lets visitors experience some of the most exciting natural phenomena Iceland has to offer.
We’ll visit Þingvellir, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was established in 1930. This geologically unique spot is the place where the two tectonic plates joining America and Europe meet. These continents are slowly drifting apart. In 2004 Þingvellir was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List and is now one of eight hundred such places in the world that have been honored by UNESCO.
Next, we’ll head to the Gullfoss Waterfall, the spouting hot spring of Geysir and Strokkur, and the colorful Volcanic Crater Kerið. Our journey continues to the town of Hveragerði, a small, but beautiful horticultural town where you’ll see how geothermal energy has been harnessed to create unique greenhouse cultivation.
Finally we’ll have a scenic ride back, over a mountain heath and back to the capital. Although this trip is an “express” tour, you’ll be visiting some of the most well known historical sites and natural phenomena in the country.
Tour Highlights:
- Gullfoss Waterfall
- Spouting Hot Springs of Geysir
- Þingvellir Tectonic Plate Meeting
- Volcanic Crater Kerið
