Resplan
Thingvellir nationalpark är en UNESCO: s världsarvslista och den äldsta nationalparken i Europa. Där kommer jag att ge dig en detaljerad introduktion till geologin samt en liten inblick i den här platsens kulturella betydelse. Gå på kanten av kontinentalplattorna och lär dig om den här platsens fantastiska geologi. Vi tar en promenad i nationalparken och ser även Öxarárfoss, ett litet vattenfall som du kanske känner från "Game of Thrones"
Känn värmen och lukta på svavlet från geotermiska varma källor och bli stänkt av Islands berömda Geysir Strokkur. En kort lunchrast är inplanerad i Restaurang Geysir där vi kan stärka oss under resten av dagen. (Pris för lunch ingår ej).
Islands mäktigaste vattenfall med en intressant bakgrundshistoria väntar på dig. På vintern är Gullfoss ett av de vackraste vattenfallen på Island, på sommaren kan du komma ännu närmare och känna kraften i vattnet.
Förutom de vackra färgerna på denna plats, kommer vi också att upptäcka unika geologiska egenskaper på denna plats. En vulkankrater som bröt ut för cirka 6500 år sedan är ett bra ställe att njuta av det sista stoppet på vår turné.

Was really looking forward to this tour but they cancelled at 8pm the night before because they didn’t get enough bookings. If they had given any warning of this we might have been able to find others or switch to a different tour with them or even a private tour because we really wanted a geologist tour. They sent an email when they cancelled saying they would help us figure out other options but then didn’t respond to emails or texts asking for help, so we had to book from a different operator or risk having no tour on our single day in Iceland. They seem to cancel last minute pretty regularly so maybe only book if you have multiple days in Iceland and can be flexible, not when you only have a short time there?
The tour was excellent. The golden circle tour is a great way to get a sampling of the natural beauty available in Iceland. And our tour guide was wonderful, providing incite into the geological aspects of the things we were seeing, along with historical context and a local perspective. Based on the bookings that day, our group received a private tour. This allowed for the tour guide to customize the information provided, based on our questions/interests, etc. Provisions could have been made for physical limitations, although that was not necessary within our group. Overall, it was a really good tour. I highly recommend it. And there are several other tours offered by the same company. I feel confident they would also be very well done.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and well educated - both a degreed geologist and masters degreed volcanologist. She shared her knowledge to inform all that we observed to life over nearly 10-hours! I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing the unique geology of Iceland with an enthusiastic expert!
It cancelled at the very last minute leaving me very little time to book another trip for the day. So that was unfortunate
This was an excellent tour, with guide Giuseppe who is a volcanologist! Of course for Iceland, land of volcanoes, this is the best kind of geologist to have with you. He explained all the different types of volcanoes we saw, and the types of lava. It didn't hurt that we had a Perfectly clear and sunny day and could see for miles!! Highly recommend.
Giuseppe as a knowledgeable , friendly and accommodating guide. Geiser was the best part of the day and learned alot of history
I can’t recommend this tour enough. Giuseppe was a wonderful guide! Both my wife and I are my parents are frequent travelers and we collectively agreed this is one of the best tours any of us have taken, anywhere. It’s a long day so pack your snacks, but it’s totally worth it.
Exceptional experience, amazing guide. Highly recommended. 9 hours of the trip passed as a single moment.
To the Thingvellir National Park to see Europe and America being pulled apart, the Geysir Strokkur which are amazing - even if they did not perform to their full height , the Gullfoss Waterfall with ice was astonishing, and the Kerid Crater very beautiful as the sun was setting. Our Geologist with us all the way. The only thing that lets this down was the tour vehicle was just was not big enough for 6 adults ... having to unfold ourselves from the bench seats.
It was incredible. She showed us so many cool things in Iceland. She even made time for me to see Bobby Fischer’s grave. Which originally was not on the tour. Excellent!!
