Golden Circle Delights: Exploring Iceland's Natural Treasures












Today marked an exciting day as we embarked on the renowned Golden Circle tour, venturing through Iceland's mesmerizing landscapes and iconic landmarks. With Selfoss as our final destination for the day, we set out to explore the captivating wonders that awaited us along this scenic route. From historic sites and geothermal marvels to majestic waterfalls and a stunning volcanic crater lake, our Golden Circle adventure promised an unforgettable experience. Join us as we recount the highlights of this remarkable journey.

Snorkeling in Silfra: A Dip Between Continents: Our first stop on the Golden Circle was Thingvellir National Park, where we eagerly embarked on a snorkeling tour in the mesmerizing Silfra fissure. This historic site holds significance as the former site of Iceland's parliament, the Althing, and is characterized by rocky cliffs and rift valleys formed by the North American and European tectonic plates. With excitement coursing through our veins, we donned dry suits and plunged into the crystal-clear waters, immersed between the very plates that shape this awe-inspiring landscape. The chilly 33-degree water, fed by Langjökull Glacier's meltwater, offered a unique experience, with visibility stretching up to 100 feet. It was a surreal and breathtaking encounter with nature's wonders.

Öxarárfoss: A Tranquil Waterfall Amidst History: Following our exhilarating snorkeling adventure, we made our way to Öxarárfoss, a picturesque waterfall nestled within the stunning Þingvellir National Park. Flowing over the Almannagjá canyon, this enchanting cascade added to the park's scenic allure. As we marveled at the beauty of Öxarárfoss, we couldn't help but notice the icy rocks adorning the pool at its base, a testament to Iceland's captivating winter landscapes.

Geysir and Gullfoss: Nature's Dynamic Displays: Continuing our journey, we reached the famous Geysir geothermal area, where we witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of a geyser erupting, spewing steam and water into the air. The raw power and natural spectacle left us in awe, reminding us of the dynamic forces at work beneath Iceland's surface.

Our adventure then led us to Gullfoss, aptly named 'Golden Falls,' nestled within the Hvítá river canyon. As we stood before this magnificent waterfall, we were captivated by the sheer power and beauty of its cascading waters. A chance encounter with a double rainbow added an extra touch of magic to this already mesmerizing scene, creating a memory that will forever be etched in our hearts.

Kerid: A Volcanic Crater Lake's Splendor: As the day drew to a close, we made our way to Kerid, a 3000-year-old volcanic crater lake adorned with vivid red slopes and shimmering aquamarine waters. This breathtaking natural marvel provided a serene and picturesque setting, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the tranquility and grandeur of Iceland's geological wonders. It was a captivating end to our Golden Circle adventure.

Conclusion: The Golden Circle tour proved to be a treasure trove of natural and historical marvels, offering us a glimpse into Iceland's diverse and awe-inspiring landscapes. From the exhilarating snorkeling experience in Silfra to the majestic power of Gullfoss, each stop along the way left an indelible mark on our hearts. As we settled in Selfoss for the night, our minds were filled with the memories of the day's adventures, eager for what tomorrow's exploration would bring in this land of natural wonders.

Disneyworld Holiday

Our trip was absolutely amazing. Johnnie worked so hard to ensure our trip went according to plan. As things came up, she was right there to help us navigate. Without her, we would have been lost. Our resort was shut down due to the hurricane Milton. She worked diligently to get us somewhere safe and we had the confidence to ride out the storm! I’d bet no one knows more about traveling than the Herrings. If you are questioning whether or not to use them as your travel advisor, the answer is YES!!!

-Ashley Scott

Carnival Holiday

We had a wonderful time on our Carnival cruise. Johnnie was our travel agent. We had a group of 18 traveling together on this cruise. Johnnie took care of all of us. She communicated well and kept us organized. We’re already talking about another cruise.
-Laurie Nevins

October Fest in Germany

My wife and I took a bucket list trip to Germany last year and Johnnie with Vincent Vacations was amazing in planning so carefully and thoughtfully to maximize our time and experience with a variety of day trips and tours. She made it so easy and allowed us to enjoy everything without much thinking at all about what we should do next or where we should go. I will definitely be using them again! Thank you for everything!
