What you can expect

Explore Iceland's exquisite Golden Circle and descend into lava caves on an adventure that blends hiking with fascinating geological information. Learn how volcanoes shaped Iceland's stunning landscape as you glimpse caves, waterfalls, and hot springs with a stop at a UNESCO-listed national park.

Join your knowledgeable guide and head east from Reykjavik in search of the Golden Circle—a popular region with striking natural phenomena to behold. Your first stop lands you southeast of the Blue Mountains where the Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel lies. Iceland is a hotspot for volcanic activity thanks to its position on the Mid-Atlantic range, and caving gives you a unique opportunity to go inside and see its effects. Gear up with a helmet and headlamp and follow your guide into the gaping lava tube, descending below the earth's surface. This geological phenomenon gives you an unparalleled encounter and an exceptional chance to observe the intricate mechanisms of a volcanic eruption.

Next, visit Gullfoss—referred to by some as the “queen” of Icelandic waterfalls. Marvel at its power and grandeur before discovering a pristine spot to enjoy lunch at your own expense. The magnificent cascade, esteemed by certain experts as one of the world's top 10 waterfalls, presents the ideal photo opportunity. Be sure to capture a few shots before commencing your journey back to Reykjavik.

After refuelling, visit the hot springs in Geysir. Watch the heated groundwater gurgling, bubbling, and finally escaping earth's crust with an enormous force. Finally, end your tour with a trip to UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park. This historic site is where the tectonic plates of the North American and Eurasian continents meet. Snap a few pictures of yourself in this awe-inspiring location before preparing for a relaxing return to Reykjavík.
