Kerid Crater
No. 15 of Best Things to Do in Iceland

Kerid Crater

6.6
4.9/5
25 reviews

Kerid Crater was formed by a volcanic eruption 6,500 years ago, and was later filled by rainwater to form this oval-shaped crater lake with a depth of approx. 55 m and a diameter of 170–270 m. Due to the absorption of minerals from the surrounding soil, the lake water has an eerie, deep green color, making it one of the three most famous crater lakes in the world. A walking path has been built around the lake for visitors to explore.

Thingvellir National Park

6.5
4.9/5
124 reviews

Thingvellir National Park National Park is located approximately 45 km east of Reykjavik and is a key landmark of both historical and geological significance in Iceland. In 930 AD, Iceland's first national parliament was established here. It is one of the longest-running parliamentary institutions known in the world, and today it remains a venue for important national celebrations for Icelanders. The park is situated at the junction of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The great rift clearly displays the boundary between the two continental plates, allowing visitors to intuitively experience the landscape formed by crustal rifting. In 2004, Thingvellir National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its dual historical and geological value. Additionally, it is also widely known among fans as a filming location for the American TV series "Game of Thrones".

Golden Circle
No. 10 of Best Things to Do in Iceland

Golden Circle

7.1
4.4/5
25 reviews

Golden Circleis a classic, iconic tourist route in Iceland that connects three natural and historical landmarks northeast of Reykjavik into a small loop that most travelers can complete in one day. Thingvellir National Park is situated on the rift valley at the boundary of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, serving as both the site of Iceland's ancient parliament and a place where you can walk along trails between the fissures to intuitively experience the geological wonder of the two plates slowly drifting apart; in the Haukadalur geothermal valley, Geysir is the source of the English word "geyser," while its neighbor, Strokkur, is more active today, sending scalding columns of water into the air every few minutes; and Gullfoss waterfall concludes the itinerary with its majestic two-tiered cascade and canyon scenery. Each of the three stops offers something unique, allowing you to take in geology, geothermal activity, and water features all in one day, making it the perfect introductory route for experiencing the essence of Iceland's nature and history.

Silfra
Selected for Best Things to Do in Blaskogabyggd

Silfra

5.6
4.1/5
34 reviews

Silfrais located in Thingvellir National Park, Iceland, and is a water-filled fissure torn open at the boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Formed in 1789, the two plates are still slowly drifting apart at a rate of approx. 2 cm per year, making it one of the few places in the world where you can snorkel or dive between two tectonic plates. The water in the fissure comes from the Langjokull Glacier, located tens of km away. The meltwater seeps into porous volcanic rock layers and, after years of natural filtration, emerges from underground. It is exceptionally clear, with underwater visibility exceeding 100 m. The blue and green hues of the water constantly shift with depth and light, and when sunlight refracts, it can even cast a rainbow on the bottom of the fissure. The water temperature here remains at approx. 2–4°C year-round. Because the water is constantly flowing underground, it does not freeze, allowing for diving and snorkeling experiences all year round.

Geysir
No. 13 of Best Things to Do in Iceland

Geysir

6.7
4.7/5
156 reviews

Geysiris located in the Haukadalur geothermal valley in southwestern Iceland and is an important stop on the Golden Circle route. The English word "geyser" originates from the Great Geysir here. Historically, the Great Geysir has erupted with boiling water columns reaching tens of meters high, but nowadays it is mostly quiet and dormant, rarely erupting. The real star is Strokkur, located just a short distance to the south, which erupts every few to 10 minutes. The azure water first churns in the center of the vent, forming a blue bubble, and in the next second, it bursts open with a roar, sending a water column shooting into the air. It usually reaches over 10 m high, and sometimes erupts 2 or 3 times in succession. The entire eruption lasts only a few seconds, so when you see the water surface bubble up, hold your breath and raise your camera. If you stand here patiently for a while, you will almost certainly be able to catch several of Strokkur's performances in a row.

Haukadalur Geothermal Area

Haukadalur Geothermal Area

6.6

Haukadalur Geothermal Area is situated in a valley in southern Iceland and is a popular stop on the classic Golden Circle route, as well as a natural classroom for experiencing Iceland's geothermal activity up close. The entire valley is dotted with dozens of hot springs, mud pools, and fumaroles, with white steam rising year-round and the air filled with the sulfur scent unique to geothermal areas. The star here is the Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes. Boiling water columns usually shoot up to over 10 m high, and sometimes reach even higher, up to dozens of meters. Before an eruption, the water in the pool churns violently and slowly rises into a bubble, then bursts open with a roar, sending water splashing everywhere. Standing by the railing and patiently waiting for an eruption is a highlight of the geothermal area that is worth setting aside time for.

The Secret Lagoon is located in the village of Fludir in the Golden Circle area. The historic environment remains natural and simple, offering a unique and authentic experience. The pool is surrounded by several hot springs, including a small geyser that provides fresh warm water to the pool, maintaining a temperature of 38–40°C year-round. In winter, the northern lights are often visible in the area, and you can relax in the warm waters surrounded by earth's steam while enjoying a spectacular light show. The facility adjacent to the hot spring offers brand-new amenities, including showers, a bar, and a dining area.

Bruarfoss Waterfall

Bruarfoss Waterfall

4.9

Tiffany Blue Waterfall is located in southern Iceland and is renowned for its rare blue-green water, named for its resemblance to the color Tiffany Blue. The water originates from Langjökull Glacier meltwater. Fine rock powder suspended in the meltwater gives the water a unique blue luster when refracted by sunlight, and the dark basalt riverbed further enhances this visual effect. The waterfall is approx. 10m wide and formed by the convergence of multiple streams. Some sections have rapid currents, and the surrounding area is covered with tundra vegetation and volcanic rock landscapes. Along the way, you can pass by many small streams and waterfalls. The entire route travels through typical Icelandic tundra landscapes and is one of the representative routes for experiencing the highland landscapes of southern Iceland.

Route 1

4.8/5
57 reviews

Route 1is Iceland's national main road, also known as the Ring Road because it circles the entire island. Completed in 1974, it has a total length of over 1,300 km and connects major towns such as the capital, Reykjavik, and the Capital of the North, Akureyri. It also connects most natural scenic spots, excluding the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes, making it a classic route for a self-drive tour around the island. Most sections of this road are two-way paved roads with good road conditions. Summer days are long, making it suitable for first-time visitors to plan an itinerary of about one week around the island. In winter, there is a chance to encounter the aurora along the way, but be aware of potential temporary road closures due to icy and snowy weather.

Lakes formed within volcanic craters are called crater lakes. These lakes form through a unique process: after a volcanic eruption, the magma within the crater cools and solidifies, forming a natural dam and accumulating water. These lakes are typically a deep blue, crystal-clear water, and are surrounded by a magnificent landscape formed by volcanic rock.

Thingvellir National Park is a spectacular destination where Iceland’s dramatic nature and fascinating history come together. The park features rugged landscapes, clear waters, lava fields, and impressive geological formations created by the movement of tectonic plates. I loved walking through the peaceful surroundings and enjoying the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys. The atmosphere feels incredibly fresh and open, making it a wonderful place to slow down and appreciate Iceland’s natural beauty. Thingvellir is also historically significant, adding another layer of interest to the visit. With its unique geology, scenic trails, and peaceful atmosphere, this national park is an unforgettable experience and definitely deserves a place on any Iceland itinerary.

Gullfoss is one of the three famous waterfalls in Iceland. You can hear the rumbling sound of rushing water in the valley from a distance. When you get closer, you can feel the spectacular scenery of the whole waterfall. The rapid water flows down with a drop of about 50 meters. The waterfall is like a rolling torrent, roaring.

Hidden gem. super chill, local vibe that's hard to resist. It's smaller than the bigger names (half the size, maybe?), but that's reflected in the prices - totally worth it! Great spot to unwind with friends, decent drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a local experience without breaking the bank, check it out!

Both sides of Highway 1 are relatively deserted, which is a little different from what we imagined. Highway 1 is not wide, and there are relatively few cars passing by. We took a tour group car to take this road.
