Private Golden Circle Day Tour from Reykjavik — Kerið, Geysir, Gullfoss & Thingvellir

A low winter sun glints off a row of compact cars as you pull out of Reykjavik and head east onto Route 1. The city thins to patchwork lava fields and scrubby moss; steam rises in the distance like a promise. By the time the coach eases into the parking lot at Kerið, the crater’s blue-green lake fills the basin like a small, deliberate ocean. You walk the rim, shoes crunching volcanic gravel, and feel the island’s geology underfoot—slow, violent, and recent in geological terms.
