Strokkur Geyser Erupting Iceland 3 Day Stopover Tour Medium1600x1067

Starting from Reykjavik, the tour first visits Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its geological significance and historical importance as the site of Iceland's first parliament. Here, visitors can explore the dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet.

Next, the tour moves to the geothermal area in Haukadalur, home to the famous geysers, including Geysir and Strokkur. Strokkur, which erupts every few minutes, offers an exhilarating spectacle as it spouts boiling water up to 30 meters into the air.

The final major stop is the magnificent Gullfoss, or "Golden Falls," where visitors can marvel at the powerful glacial river plunging into a deep canyon, creating a stunning double waterfall. The beauty of Gullfoss is particularly striking, with rainbows often visible on sunny days.
