Discover the country's most famous natural wonders by taking yourself on a golden circle tour! Located along the largest lake in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park is a remarkable and historic geological site, which boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. The beautiful canyon that runs through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth’s tectonic plates – and in addition, this area is where the oldest form of Parliament met, dating back to the year 930!

At Gullfoss you are given the opportunity to stand next to the amazing waterfall, watching enormous quantities of water tumble violently into a deep, meandering gorge. You will also spend your time encountering a cross-section of Iceland's natural wonders and geological phenomena at Thingvellir National Park, an area of historical and geological significance.

Take a trip from the Old Harbor to do a little bird watching! Your included one-hour boat tour will bring you to the best locations to spot puffins and other local birds of interest.
Puffin Express (WH04) at 9:30am
The Puffin Express adventure starts at the Old Harbour of Reykjavík and only takes one hour. Lundey and Akurey are two small islands located in the Reykjavík bay area, only 15 minutes away from Reykjavík‘s Old Harbor, where the tour departs. The islands are covered with small hills and slopes and both are well known for their colorful birdlife. The island‘s shores are rocky but the boats are specially designed to take you as close to the islands as possible due to the shallow draft. Upon arriving at the islands, the engines are turned off so passengers can observe the birds and the beautiful surroundings. Licensed guides tell you all about the Puffins and other birds of interest that are often seen on the Puffin watching tours. Other birds spotted include Northern Fulmars, Gulls, Arctic Terns, and Black Guillemots.
