After a buffet breakfast, it is time to hit the road on your first adventure. Today, you will be taken on the famous Golden Circle route.

Your first stop is the national park of Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and where you can see the tectonic plates of North America and Europe being slowly pulled apart. Then it is time to stop for a delicious lunch in a local greenhouse.

Geysers get their name from this very spot. Finally, you will visit Gullfoss. This stunning waterfall is possibly the most famous waterfall in Iceland.
