Hrafnagjá, a dramatic ravine nestled within the park, offers a mesmerizing geological glimpse into the continental drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
As part of Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, this area holds cultural and historical significance. Þingvellir is not only the birthplace of the world's first parliament, the Alþingi, convened in 930 AD but also a testament to the enduring spirit of Icelandic democracy. Wander through the Almannagjá gorge and stand on the Law Rock, where historic decisions were once made.

Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls," is a captivating natural wonder that draws visitors with its awe-inspiring cascades and dramatic scenery.
Located on the Hvítá River, Gullfoss is a two-tiered waterfall that plunges into a rugged canyon with sheer force and elegance. The misty veil that rises from the falls creates rainbows on sunny days, adding to the enchantment of the surroundings.
Explore the viewing platforms strategically positioned to provide the best vantage points for capturing the sheer power and grandeur of Gullfoss.

I cannot recommend this tour enough!!!
Bjarni was an excellent guide and driver, taking my girlfriend and I to the best spots along the golden circle and ensuring we had plenty of time at each location. He also told us many interesting stories and gave great insights into life in Iceland, so the ride was never boring or dull.
Amazing tour overall, thanks Bjarni!
