Golden Circle
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Blaskogabyggd

Golden Circle

7.1
4.4/5
25 reviews
Golden Circleis a classic, iconic tourist route in Iceland that connects three natural and historical landmarks northeast of Reykjavik into a small loop that most travelers can complete in one day. Thingvellir National Park is situated on the rift valley at the boundary of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, serving as both the site of Iceland's ancient parliament and a place where you can walk along trails between the fissures to intuitively experience the geological wonder of the two plates slowly drifting apart; in the Haukadalur geothermal valley, Geysir is the source of the English word "geyser," while its neighbor, Strokkur, is more active today, sending scalding columns of water into the air every few minutes; and Gullfoss waterfall concludes the itinerary with its majestic two-tiered cascade and canyon scenery. Each of the three stops offers something unique, allowing you to take in geology, geothermal activity, and water features all in one day, making it the perfect introductory route for experiencing the essence of Iceland's nature and history.Blaskogabyggd · 6.2 km from downtown
Geysir

Geysir

6.7
4.7/5
156 reviews
Geysiris located in the Haukadalur geothermal valley in southwestern Iceland and is an important stop on the Golden Circle route. The English word "geyser" originates from the Great Geysir here. Historically, the Great Geysir has erupted with boiling water columns reaching tens of meters high, but nowadays it is mostly quiet and dormant, rarely erupting. The real star is Strokkur, located just a short distance to the south, which erupts every few to 10 minutes. The azure water first churns in the center of the vent, forming a blue bubble, and in the next second, it bursts open with a roar, sending a water column shooting into the air. It usually reaches over 10 m high, and sometimes erupts 2 or 3 times in succession. The entire eruption lasts only a few seconds, so when you see the water surface bubble up, hold your breath and raise your camera. If you stand here patiently for a while, you will almost certainly be able to catch several of Strokkur's performances in a row.Blaskogabyggd · 6.1 km from downtown
Haukadalur Geothermal Area

Haukadalur Geothermal Area

6.7
Haukadalur Geothermal Area is situated in a valley in southern Iceland and is a popular stop on the classic Golden Circle route, as well as a natural classroom for experiencing Iceland's geothermal activity up close. The entire valley is dotted with dozens of hot springs, mud pools, and fumaroles, with white steam rising year-round and the air filled with the sulfur scent unique to geothermal areas. The star here is the Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes. Boiling water columns usually shoot up to over 10 m high, and sometimes reach even higher, up to dozens of meters. Before an eruption, the water in the pool churns violently and slowly rises into a bubble, then bursts open with a roar, sending water splashing everywhere. Standing by the railing and patiently waiting for an eruption is a highlight of the geothermal area that is worth setting aside time for.Blaskogabyggd · 6.1 km from downtown

Thingvellir National Park

4.9/5

Thingvellir National Park National Park is located approximately 45 km east of Reykjavik and is a key landmark of both historical and geological significance in Iceland. In 930 AD, Iceland's first national parliament was established here. It is one of the longest-running parliamentary institutions known in the world, and today it remains a venue for important national celebrations for Icelanders. The park is situated at the junction of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The great rift clearly displays the boundary between the two continental plates, allowing visitors to intuitively experience the landscape formed by crustal rifting. In 2004, Thingvellir National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its dual historical and geological value. Additionally, it is also widely known among fans as a filming location for the American TV series "Game of Thrones".Blaskogabyggd · 32.6 km from downtown

Gullfoss Falls

4.8/5
249 reviews
As one of the must-see attractions in Iceland, the Golden Falls have a reason to do their part. The river flows straight down from a height of 32 meters and is divided into two levels. From a distance, it looks like two rainbows rushing along the Great Rift Valley. The scene is very spectacular. After a heavy rain, you can also see a large rainbow across the waterfall. A monument was erected next to the waterfall in memory of a civilian woman.Hrunamannahreppur · 14.7 km from Blaskogabyggd

Silfra

4.1/5
34 reviews
Silfrais located in Thingvellir National Park, Iceland, and is a water-filled fissure torn open at the boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Formed in 1789, the two plates are still slowly drifting apart at a rate of approx. 2 cm per year, making it one of the few places in the world where you can snorkel or dive between two tectonic plates. The water in the fissure comes from the Langjokull Glacier, located tens of km away. The meltwater seeps into porous volcanic rock layers and, after years of natural filtration, emerges from underground. It is exceptionally clear, with underwater visibility exceeding 100 m. The blue and green hues of the water constantly shift with depth and light, and when sunlight refracts, it can even cast a rainbow on the bottom of the fissure. The water temperature here remains at approx. 2–4°C year-round. Because the water is constantly flowing underground, it does not freeze, allowing for diving and snorkeling experiences all year round.Blaskogabyggd · 34.7 km from downtown
Langjokull Glacier

Langjokull Glacier

Langjokull Glacier is a large glacier in the western highlands of Iceland and is also Iceland's second-largest glacier. Its highest point is at an elevation of approx. 1,450 m, and it covers an area of approx. 1,021 sq km. Meltwater from the glacier feeds into several rivers, including the Hvita and Ölfusá, making it an important water source for southern Iceland. Man-made ice tunnels have been carved into the glacier, allowing visitors to explore deep into the glacier and experience the geological wonders of the blue ice and trapped air bubbles, making it a unique glacier experience within the Golden Circle.Blaskogabyggd · 43.9 km from downtown
Bruarfoss Waterfall

Bruarfoss Waterfall

4.7
Tiffany Blue Waterfall is located in southern Iceland and is renowned for its rare blue-green water, named for its resemblance to the color Tiffany Blue. The water originates from Langjökull Glacier meltwater. Fine rock powder suspended in the meltwater gives the water a unique blue luster when refracted by sunlight, and the dark basalt riverbed further enhances this visual effect. The waterfall is approx. 10m wide and formed by the convergence of multiple streams. Some sections have rapid currents, and the surrounding area is covered with tundra vegetation and volcanic rock landscapes. Along the way, you can pass by many small streams and waterfalls. The entire route travels through typical Icelandic tundra landscapes and is one of the representative routes for experiencing the highland landscapes of southern Iceland.Blaskogabyggd · 5.7 km from downtown
Strokkur Geyser

Strokkur Geyser

4.1
5.0/5
3 reviews
Strokkur Geyser is located in the famous Haukadalur geothermal area in southern Iceland and is the most active geyser in the region. Unlike the nearby Geysir, which has largely ceased activity, Strokkur erupts regularly every few minutes, with water columns typically reaching 15–40 m in height. The moment of eruption is spectacular, with a deafening roar and billowing steam. Before the eruption, a blue bubble of water at the vent gradually swells and then suddenly bursts, creating an impressive natural spectacle. The surrounding area is dotted with hot springs, mud pots, and colorful mineral deposits, fully showcasing the diverse forms of geothermal activity in Iceland and making it one of the core attractions on the Golden Circle route in Iceland.Blaskogabyggd · 6.3 km from downtown

The Secret Lagoon is located in the village of Fludir in the Golden Circle area. The historic environment remains natural and simple, offering a unique and authentic experience. The pool is surrounded by several hot springs, including a small geyser that provides fresh warm water to the pool, maintaining a temperature of 38–40°C year-round. In winter, the northern lights are often visible in the area, and you can relax in the warm waters surrounded by earth's steam while enjoying a spectacular light show. The facility adjacent to the hot spring offers brand-new amenities, including showers, a bar, and a dining area.Fludir · 16.1 km from Blaskogabyggd

Gullfoss is one of the three famous waterfalls in Iceland. You can hear the rumbling sound of rushing water in the valley from a distance. When you get closer, you can feel the spectacular scenery of the whole waterfall. The rapid water flows down with a drop of about 50 meters. The waterfall is like a rolling torrent, roaring.

Geysir, what an outstanding view when you’re there in person. You’ll feel the power of nature when it pops out from the steam water hole. Worth visiting.

Thingvellir National Park is a spectacular destination where Iceland’s dramatic nature and fascinating history come together. The park features rugged landscapes, clear waters, lava fields, and impressive geological formations created by the movement of tectonic plates. I loved walking through the peaceful surroundings and enjoying the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys. The atmosphere feels incredibly fresh and open, making it a wonderful place to slow down and appreciate Iceland’s natural beauty. Thingvellir is also historically significant, adding another layer of interest to the visit. With its unique geology, scenic trails, and peaceful atmosphere, this national park is an unforgettable experience and definitely deserves a place on any Iceland itinerary.

The Bifura Fissure is a very famous tourist attraction in Iceland. It is also a very famous diving spot in the summer. Many diving enthusiasts come from far away and it attracts tourists from all over the world. However, diving is not possible in winter.

Langjökull is the second largest glacier in Iceland. We will take a special 8 x 8 large glacier 4x4 to explore the Langjökull glacier and its origins. Guests can personally go deep into the ice cave about 305 meters below the surface of the glacier to explore the mysteries of the Langgellau Glacier

One of Iceland's Golden Circle attractions Strokkur Geysir What to do in South Iceland Whether you come to Iceland by car or with a tour group, you must visit this place Let me share some scientific knowledge with you Geyser is actually a kind of hot spring. The groundwater temperature rises to a level high enough to boil. It accumulates in complex underground channels and then erupts onto the surface. At the beginning, you will see huge bubbles coming out of the pool. It is a very interesting and magical natural landscape To be honest, there are dozens of geysers of all sizes in Iceland. But this attraction is known as the strongest geyser The eruption is short-lived Probably only a few seconds To capture the perfect picture, remember to stand by in advance Erupts approximately every 6 to 10 minutes The eruption height is usually 20 to 30 meters. The cheers were endless and it was very spectacular Please remember to wear a waterproof jacket when visiting this attraction. Iceland is generally very windy When the wind blows and the water vapor comes, the whole person will be soaked 😆 In addition to the spectacular geyser There is also free parking and free toilets. Restaurants and souvenir shops Some products are also limited to attractions

Hidden gem. super chill, local vibe that's hard to resist. It's smaller than the bigger names (half the size, maybe?), but that's reflected in the prices - totally worth it! Great spot to unwind with friends, decent drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a local experience without breaking the bank, check it out!
