Iceland's must-see Golden Circle ~ Geysir

If you're visiting Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, you absolutely have to visit the Golden Circle and see the geysers. Iceland is situated between two tectonic plates, and with its active tectonic movements, geysers are a key feature of Iceland's geological landscape. They erupt approximately every ten seconds, sometimes reaching heights of up to ten meters! #OverseasTravel #Iceland #NordicTravel

🇮🇸 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
