AH74  Whale Watching & Golden Circle Afternoon 1 Apr 2012 -
30 Sep 2012


Highlights:
  • Whale watching
  • Þingvellir National Park
  • Gullfoss waterfall
  • Geysir hot spring area


Tour Description:

Why not add a Golden Circle Afternoon tour to your Whale Watching tour for a full day of fun? This is a perfect combination of tours AH75 Whale Watching and AH11 Golden Circle Afternoon.

On this whale watching tour you can see the whales in their native environment which is an unforgettable experience. 
The local bird life is diverse, including birds as the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of Gull.

After the Whale Watching tour, passengers have time for lunch and a visit to the Whale Exhibition.
Passengers that do not want to walk the 5-10 minutes back to our office and bus terminal are picked up at the harbour at 12:30 for the Golden Circle Afternoon tour, which leaves Reykjavík at 13:00. Those wishing to walk are asked to be at our office at the latest at 12:50.

We start the afternoon tour by visiting Þingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was established in the year 930 AD. Geologically it is remarkable and there you can see tectonic plate boundaries that form a breathtaking scenery.

We also visit the impressive Gullfoss waterfall and the spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur.

Although this trip is a shortened version of our AH12 Golden Circle Classic tour, you will be visiting some of the very best historical sites and natural phenomena in the country. Before we return to Reykjavík we will pass Hveragerði greenhouse village.

whale watching was great, really informative and we got to see some minky whales really close up too! The golden circle afternoon was great quick way of getting to know icelands history really quickly, aswell as seeing some spectacular scenery. Although if you rent your own car, you could do the whole golden circle for free.

The tour was very well organised. The golden circle afternoon was very informative and interesting. The only problem with the whale watching tour was that we couldn't hear what the guide was saying - the microphone was too quiet. Other than that, excellent.
