Day 1: Viking Horse Riding Tour & Golden Circle Classic

Introduction:

Reykjavik

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxaflói bay. Its latitude is 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state.With a population of around 128,793 (and 228,231 in the Capital Region), it is the center of Iceland's cultural,economic and governmental activity, and is a popular tourist destination.

Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Landnámabók, was established by Ingólfr Arnarson in AD 874. Until the 19th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1785 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

Þingvellir National Park

Þingvellir is a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km northeast of Iceland's capital, ReykjavíkÞingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Gullfoss waterfall

Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.

Tour Overview:

Enjoy the Icelandic countryside from the back of an Icelandic horse, followed by the top natural attractions on the Golden Circle, a trio of extraordinary attractions: Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall and Geysir Geothermal area - all visually stunning and storied sights in their own right. We begin our adventure on the back of an Icelandic horse, the same breed ridden by the original settlers of the country. The icelandic horse is known for its loyalty,stamina and gentle nature - ideal companies while exploring the idyllic hills of Laxnes just outside Reykjavík. From there, the tour heads to the National Park Þingvellir, with its remarkable geological features. The Icelandic Parliament - Alþingi - was founded on the site in 930 AD, making it the oldest still- functioning parliament in the world. The tour will also visit the impressive glacial waterfall Gullfoss, the Geysir geothermal area and Strokkur hot spring. On the return journey, you will travel through beautiful agricultural areas before heading back to Reykjavík.
