What to expect
This full-day tour with a German-speaking guide in a small group of no more than 19 people is the ideal shore excursion for cruise ship passengers. It takes you from Reykjavik along the so-called Golden Circle over Hellisheiði mountain to Hveragerði, where we make a stop at a seismic fissure in a shopping center, the Kerið crater, the impressive Gullfoss waterfall, and the Haukadalur geothermal area with the active Strokkur geyser. Along the way, there will be a stop at a farm that makes very good ice cream from the milk of its own cows. Here, in addition to ice cream, you can also buy waffles and hot drinks or simply take a look inside the cowshed and the nursery with the calves.
After a short stop at the warm lake Laugarvatn, on the shores of which there are hot springs used for baking bread, we reach Þingvellir National Park, where you will experience Icelandic history and plate tectonics.
You will visit the beautiful Öxarárfoss waterfall and the Almannagjá, where the Alþing parliament, founded in 930, used to meet.
On the way back, if the ship's departure time allows, there will be a short detour through downtown Reykjavík with a photo stop at Hallgrímskirkja.
The departure time and tour duration are suitable for most cruise ships in the harbor of Reykjavik, such as the ships of Aida, Mein Schiff, MSC, and Costa.
The duration of the tour is usually 8-9 hours, but depends on the weather conditions and the time the ship is docked and may therefore be a little shorter.
