Gullfoss Waterfall, Southern Region
On The Map: Gullfoss lies in the northeast corner of the Golden Circle in southwest Iceland. It is located right off route 35, about 109 km (68 miles) northeast of Reykjavik.
Gullfoss (translated as “Golden Waterfall”), is a powerful waterfall on the Hvítá River, fed by Iceland’s second largest glacier, the Langjökull. The water plummets 104 feet in two stages to a rugged canyon. During the winter, the view is particularly spectacular when the water freezes into waves of glistening ice. On a sunny day, visitors are treated to thousands of tiny rainbows, a natural reaction of clouds of spray from the tumbling falls. With amazing views year around, Gullfoss is a highlight!
Thingvellir National Park, Selfoss, Southern Region
On the Map: Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park sits in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 25 miles northeast of Reykjavik.

The park is known for the Alþingi (Althing)—this was the site of Iceland’s parliament from the 10th to the 18th centuries. It includes the Þingvellir Church and ruins of old stone shelters. (Recently, Thingvellir has gained popularity among Game of Thrones fans due to its appearance on the fantasy epic.) The park is in a rift valley, marking the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This valley features the Silfra fissure, known worldwide as one of the top dive sites for two main reasons: It is the only location in the world where someone can dive between two continental plates, and the underwater visibility is over 328 feet. This UNESCO World Heritage Site will inspire you with the influence of nature.

On the Map: The Golden Circle is a touring region in southwest Iceland. The well-loved driving route begins in Reykjavik and heads south to Selfoss, then northeast to Gullfoss Falls. The road turns west to Þingvellir National Park, finally looping back to Reykjavik in the southwest.
The Golden Circle consists of three equally stunning locations: Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss waterfall. Þingvellir National Park is an astonishing site, steeped in history and folklore, and surrounded by unique and incredible geology. Not only was Þingvellir the first of Iceland’s three national parks to be established, but it is the only one that has the honor of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is also known for its appearance in the popular fantasy epic, Game of Thrones. The Geysir Geothermal Area, within the Haukadalur Valley, is dotted with hot pools, clay pots, and fumaroles. The hills and soil are vividly colored by minerals of the earth. It is a beautiful destination. Gullfoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, is located in a plunging, ancient valley just down the road from the Geysir Geothermal Area. This waterfall tumbles down two elevations, from an overall height of 104 feet. On a sunny day, it gives off rainbows, a truly wondrous sight.

"Great trip in Ireland & Scotland"
Nov 24, 2023
Tena
Ireland/Scotland trip was a great trip planned with our group and Jorie. We thoroughly enjoyed each city we visited in both countries. All our hotels were very nice but as older adults, I would advise to pack light which is hard to do if your visit is extended but we had to climb stairs in several places. My favorite thing in both countries are the people. Everyone was so friendly and inviting at hotels, restaurants and local sites. We felt completely safe and comfortable. I would agree with other travelers that driving is stressful for both driver and passengers especially in Ireland where the roads are extremely narrow with rock walls on each side. Next trip will include staying in certain cities with tours out. JerPoint Park in Ireland was a favorite of our group of 4. Authentic Vacations plans, reservations and communications were first rate.

Lauren, thank you for putting together a wonderful Scottish and Irish adventure. In many unexpected ways it indeed was an adventure that we will remember forever. So sincere thanks. Despite a glitch in St Andrews your team's recovery actually made St Andrews the highpoint of our trip. Staying at Rusacks overlooking the first tee and eighteenth green of the old course was awesome. All the Hotels were first rate. Experiences - awesome The Clontarf Castle is an awesome way to the trip. Well done y'all. Big city stays - We all felt like we could have used an extra day in the larger cities. They all had a story to tell, and we just had enough time to scratch the surface. Self-drive - while less expensive alternative, the person doing the driving misses out on a lot in transit, while the passenger's white knuckle thru the driver's learning process. Also, the roads in Scotland and Ireland are no joke. Would recommend it is worth it to hire a private chauffer driver or go Small Guided for sure.

The whiskey tour day was their favorite, made extra special by their driver Alec who was a superstar. My client's boyfriend is a real train enthusiast. They enjoyed all the train trips, and Nick was like a child on the Jacobite train. Thanks so much for your help with this trip. You clearly know Scotland and planned a very nice route with some unique requirements. I greatly appreciate your expertise and attentive service. I look forward to working with you again in the future. An early Happy Holidays!

"Trip of a lifetime in Ireland"

Cathryn
Jennifer, I want to thank you for planning and arranging our wonderful vacation in Ireland. Everything was easy Peezy as my granddaughter would say. The hotels were all beautiful, each one was uniquely different and beautiful. We enjoyed each and the food was enjoyable. We enjoyed all the extra goodies. We were not able to take either sea cruise as the weather canceled the trips. The best decision we made was to have a guide /driver. Martin was an absolute wonder. I wanted to bring him home with us. He saw to every detail and was extremely entertaining to boot. His recommendations were spot on to our interests. I think he knows everyone in Ireland. The car was super too. The back seats were massage chairs. How cool can you get? As a great extra the Owner of Screebe House bought two of my paintings and commissioned two more. Again, many thanks for the trip of a lifetime.

Hi Jorie, Rose and I had a wonderful time in Ireland! We couldn’t believe how well everything worked out and the locations selected for our stays were excellent. We really loved the Country House and Abbyglen Castle. The staff at Abbbyglen Castle were so nice and made our anniversary evening wonderful! We had no idea there was so much aviation and radio history in Clifden! As for the other locations they were all first-rate as well. We went to the “Man O’ War” Pub for dinner our last night in Ireland. It was a great recommendation. The atmosphere, hospitality, and food were awesome. Again, thank you for helping to set up a wonderful trip which we will never forget.
