Is Iceland's Golden Circle actually worth it? Here's what I found

Hello everyone! 🤎 Day 6 in Iceland was all about finally exploring the famous Golden Circle route - and honestly, I went into this genuinely wondering… is the Golden Circle actually worth it, or is it just overhyped because every Iceland travel guide tells you to do it? 😭 In this vlog, we explore some of the most iconic places in Iceland including Kerið crater (aka the Blue Eye of Iceland), Þingvellir National Park where two tectonic plates literally pull apart, the erupting geysers at Geysir geothermal area, Öxarárfoss waterfall, the unreal blue glacial waters of Brúarhlöð, and the iconic Gullfoss waterfall. This Iceland vlog also captures our final moments before leaving the country - driving back to Reykjavik, souvenir shopping, Icelandic sweaters, airport chaos, and honestly just trying to process how unreal this Iceland trip felt. If you’re planning an Iceland trip, building your Iceland itinerary, searching for Iceland travel tips, or looking for a real Iceland travel vlog to decide whether the Golden Circle Iceland route is worth it...
