Highly recommended for first-time visitors or anyone wanting a comprehensive introduction to Iceland’s incredible scenery.

One thing to keep in mind is to dress warmly, as the weather can change quickly, especially at outdoor locations. Waterproof shoes are also recommended since some paths can be muddy or wet. A packed lunch or snacks are a good idea as there’s limited time for eating.

the guide was really friendly. They shared fascinating stories about Iceland’s history, geology, and culture, made the journey between stops just as engaging as the attractions themselves.

Kerid Crater was a unique place to this Golden Circle route. It was amazing! Was a stunning and photogenic spot. Walking around the crater’s rim or descending to the water’s edge provides different perspectives, overall was a great day trip!
