Itinerary

This is a tour that combines the famous Golden Circle with visits to local farms and restaurants for delicious tastes made with pure Icelandic ingredients. Heading out of Reykjavík, we set our course through Þingvellir National Park to the local greenhouse, Friðheimar. There we get a taste of their famous tomato soup. Next we visit the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the great Geyser geothermal area where the reliable Strokkur geyser spouts hot water up as high as 15 – 30 m. After enjoying these jewels of Icelandic nature, it is time to turn our attention back to the taste buds with a visit to the farm Efstidalur. There we get a few samples of their local products such as skyr and delicious ice cream. Now it´s time for some relaxation at the geothermal spa Fontana, or a stroll around the beautiful Lake Laugarvatn. Guests on this tour get a special price for the entrance to Fontana at 3000 ISK (regular price 3800 ISK). The final culinary experience of the day is a two-course dinner at the local restaurant Lindin. After the nice meal we head out to explore the mysterious nights of Iceland and search for the Northern Lights. If the Aurora Borealis don’t appear that night, you have the option of re-booking a Northern Lights bus tour the following evening.
