Visiting Geysir and Stroko Geysers with Guide

Geysir and Stroko Geysers The Great Geyser is located in the geothermally active Haukadalur Valley. It is the largest geyser in Iceland and a must-see attraction on the Golden Circle route. Solheimasandur plane wreckage/solheimasandur This plane wreckage is one of the most representative elements of Iceland. It has been lying here lonely and quiet for half a century, and has become a world-class internet celebrity check-in point. In 1973, a US military plane made an emergency landing on this black sand beach due to lack of fuel. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured. It’s not easy to get here. You can only park your car in a parking lot 8 kilometers away from the wreckage and go there on foot. You can search for the name of the scenic spot and navigate directly there; Studlagil Canyon/studlagil canyon The valley of the basalt landform seems to be flowing from the sky. The giant hexagonal rock pillars are vertically inserted into the center of the earth by mysterious forces. It also seems to be growing out of the center of the earth, and the tall and straight valley of the Watching Glacier; katla ice cave/katla ice cave The deep blue and clear 10,000-year-old ice cave seems to be freezing countless secrets of the earth, and it is also like a tunnel leading to outer space. The ice at the entrance of the cave changes and shines with light of different colors as time and sunlight shift, making it super cinematic; Reynis black sand beach/reynisfjara The very famous black sand beach (not sand, but small black stones with volcanic ash) is hidden in danger but magically attracts people to get close to it (there are always news of accidents of people being swept away by the waves). It is called the devil's territory as if it is the end of the world. ; hengifoss waterfall The exposed rock formations around the waterfall are hot and scarlet, like a gaping wound on the earth, crying in pain and despair. You can hike under the waterfall; diamond black sand beach/diamond beach The iceberg melts here, as if a large piece of diamond has been scattered by a mysterious alien passerby. The crystal clear reflection reflects the dazzling light, and shimmers at night, as unique and beautiful as a dreamy wonderland; 8 Reykjavik Cathedral & Rainbow Trail The most famous church in Iceland, like a pair of invisible hands gently playing the organ, is a landmark building in the capital; aurora The aurora in Iceland is so beautiful and intoxicating!! Iceland also has Red Beach, Blue Lagoon Hot Spring, Straw Hat Mountain, Dinjandi Falls, Cape Ratlar Bird Watching Cliff, etc., which can all be connected in a self-driving route. It can be reached by direct navigation. If you are chasing aurora, the aurora season is from October to April of the following year! Have you been to Iceland?

🇮🇸 Iceland #Reykjavik Day 1 This was the only day trip I paid for on this trip—the #GoldenCircle day trip. I had originally planned to rent a car, but after checking, I realized it would cost around €250 a day. Even if split between four people, it wasn't a good deal. So I decided to just join a tour group, saving money and not having to drive myself. My mom and other travel companions had already driven to these attractions and said they didn't want to go again. They decided to just go shopping in the city, so I signed up for a leisurely tour alone. -- I booked this day trip online at the last minute that morning for about €74. The same tour on the cruise ship cost $169, almost double the price... By the way, cruise tours are almost always "sells directly at double the price of the tours offered by other tour companies." After all, they have to make a profit. I originally thought no one would buy this price difference, but it turns out several tours were sold out. 😂 Poverty really limits my imagination... --- Although I joined a relatively cheap tour, the quality was actually quite good. The guide was super detailed and talked almost the entire time. We even stopped at a geothermal beach to see how the locals use the heat to bake bread. Although the weather was terrible and the photos were awful, we saw all the sights we needed to see, so it was worth it. --- Also interestingly, the group was almost entirely composed of cruise passengers. As I mentioned before, the age group on this ship skewed higher, with most over 70 years old. By the third stop, the sound of snoring could be heard from the bus. At the fourth stop, several people even said they were too tired to get off the bus... --- About the Golden Circle: The Golden Circle is Iceland's most classic and popular day trip. Departing from Reykjavik, it links three must-see attractions: Magnificent waterfalls, active geysers, and national parks rich in history and geology. This is a must-see for first-time Icelanders. Key attractions include: 1. Kerið Crater Lake – A vibrant crater lake with a dreamy turquoise water. 2. Geysir Geyser Area – The famous Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes. 3. Gullfoss – A spectacular double waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders. 4. Thingvellir National Park – A World Heritage site, home to the Icelandic Parliament, and the junction of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. --- Sigh, for €74, I could have spent a whole week in Bolivia on food, accommodation, and fun. 😂 I've been really spoiled by Bolivia. Coming to Northern Europe, I'll have to get used to the prices. #Iceland #Reykjavik #TravelGuide #TravelRecommendations #TravelPlanning
