A Carbon-Neutral Iceland Golden Circle Tour

Experience the ultimate Iceland sightseeing adventure on this carbon-neutral day tour, showcasing the iconic Golden Circle with an extra stop to explore a sustainable greenhouse farm.

Scenic Icelandic Countryside

As you journey through Iceland’s stunning landscape, enjoy views of rolling farmlands, grazing horses, and sheep dotting the fields. The peaceful countryside offers a perfect backdrop to your adventure, with volcanic mountains and ancient lava fields adding to the dramatic scenery.

Friðheimar Greenhouse

Your first stop is at Friðheimar, a sustainable greenhouse farm that uses geothermal energy to grow tomatoes year-round. Taste some delicious locally-grown tomato products and learn about eco-friendly farming practices, including biological pest control, and see how Iceland’s natural resources are harnessed for green agriculture.

Geysir Geothermal Area

Next, experience the raw energy of the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to the Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 4-8 minutes, shooting water up to 30 meters (98 ft) into the air. The valley is alive with steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and vibrant pools, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that showcases Iceland’s volcanic power.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Then, visit the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, where the powerful Hvítá river plunges in two stages into a dramatic, deep canyon. As the water roars over the edge, mist rises into the air, often creating stunning rainbows on sunny days. This iconic waterfall is one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders, with its sheer force and beauty captivating visitors year-round. The sight and sound of Gullfoss are unforgettable, a true testament to Iceland’s raw and untamed nature.

Thingvellir National Park

Finally, explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history and geology come together in a remarkable way. Walk through the rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart, creating an extraordinary geological landscape unlike anywhere else. Beyond its striking scenery, Thingvellir also holds deep cultural significance as the birthplace of the wrold's first democtatic parliament, Alþingi, established over a thousand years ago. This combination of natural wonder and historical importance makes Thingvellir a must-visit on your journey through Iceland.

"An excursion to remember!"

My wife and I loved this Golden Circle Day Trip with Fridheimar Greenhouse visit (Dec 30, 2019). Everything was terrific, from the time spent at the tomato greenhouse (delicious! We even brought some of their products back home!) to the geysers site, without forgetting our great guide who taught us many things about Iceland and its history. We definitely recommend this tour!

Full day of sightseeing with the thermal vents, National Park and waterfall. The people at the tomato greenhouse were lovely and the soup is worth a try! Our guide was funny, professional and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this trip.
