This is the split of the tectonic plates that divides Europe from North America.

Additional Information
Dubbed as the Golden Circle, it offers a day packed with Iceland’s unparalleled attractions, making you understand what sets this nation apart.
Our journey begins in Reykjavik. Here, you along with your travel companions, climb aboard as we set a course towards Þingvellir National Park, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Iceland.
As we progress, you’ll encounter one of Iceland’s most celebrated locations, the magnificent Geysir. Although the actual Geysir has ceased to function, its smaller counterpart, the Strokkur, continues to spew soaring streams of boiling water that ascend from 20 to 40 meters.
Following the geyser locale, brace yourself for the next breathtaking halt, the renowned Gullfoss waterfall, also known as the ‘golden waterfall.’
To wrap up the day, a visit to the Secret Lagoon for a soothing swim is in queue. We assure you, it’s the most satisfying way to conclude a day filled with exploration.

Great tour in Iceland countryside - The tour is a full day of unique and varied activities, a national park where two tectonic plates created a rift, a geyser shooting 30 metres high, a splendid waterfall, a delicious lunch in a tomato farm and relaxation in the hot springs in the end of the tour. Our tour guide Smari was very professional, attentive to details and spiritual. We fell in love with Iceland after his tour. He even played his music on a slide guitar after the soak in the lagoon and treated us to Icelandic dried fish. We appreciated his knowledge of the country facts and detailed explanations.

Classic Iceland tour - This is a variant on the Golden Circle. There are several variants, but they all seem to include Gulfoss and the national park.
The guide was cheerful and knowledgeable. Smari provided commentary on history, culture, and nature. We visited all the promised sites, plus a bonus site where the bake bread in volcanic sand.
I would definitely ride with Smari again. Well-run tour.

Classic Iceland tour - This is the classic tour from Reykjavik. The guide, Smari, was friendly and informative. I would definitely ride with him again. We hit the promised attractions, and because we were ahead of schedule, he added a stop at the place where they bake bread in thermal sand.
Remember a towel and swimsuit because this version of the tour includes a hot spring pool.
Gullfoss is the highlight of this tour, but it was all enjoyable, made better by a good guide.
