The Platinum Circle

 It is ideal for those that want to see as much as possible in just one long day. It gets you in close contact with one of Iceland’s glaciers, shows you some of the history of the island and some of the most popular sights of Iceland in the glow of the evening sun.

We start our journey by driving along the shores of Hvalfjörður (the whaling fjord). On the northern shores we visit the whaling station, which is still in operation and then head to the Settlement Center in Borgarnes.

After visiting one of the exhibitions at the settlement center we continue to Fossatún, where we will have our lunch break (not included in the tour price). From there we head to Reykholt to view the exhibition at Snorrastofa. Our next stop is at the geothermal area of Deildartunguhver. From there we head to the waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfossar and then over the pass of Kaldidalur to the Langjökull glacier. We stop at Jaki for a walk towards the glacier. Then we continue to Þingvellir National Park, where we meet and join the Golden Circle Evening tour.

We visit Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir geothermal area before we head back to Reykjavík.
