Experience Iceland’s Golden Circle in a specially modified 4×4 Super Jeep during the peaceful evening hours, away from peak crowds.

Experience Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route in a specially modified 4×4 Super Jeep, designed for comfort, stability, and access to all major highlights along the Golden Circle. With 4 PM and 5 PM departures, this tour is perfectly timed to let you explore Iceland’s iconic landscapes in the soft evening light of the Midnight Sun while avoiding the busiest hours of the day.

Your journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s history and geology meet in a dramatic rift valley between two tectonic plates. From there, continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where you will witness Strokkur erupting regularly, sending boiling water high into the air surrounded by steaming vents and colorful hot springs.

Next, visit the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders, where glacial water plunges into a rugged canyon creating a powerful and unforgettable display. The adventure continues to Faxafoss Waterfall, a more peaceful and lesser-visited stop that offers a calm contrast and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

You will also explore the striking Kerið Volcanic Crater, known for its vivid red slopes and deep blue lake at its center. A walking path around the rim provides panoramic views and a closer look at Iceland’s volcanic landscape.

One of the key advantages of this Super Jeep evening tour is the timing. As most day tours return to Reykjavík, you will experience these iconic sites in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, allowing for better photos and a more personal connection with each location.

With a private Super Jeep and an experienced local driver-guide exclusively for your group, this tour offers a flexible and comfortable way to explore the Golden Circle. It is ideal for travelers who want adventure, exclusivity, and the magical atmosphere of Iceland’s summer evening light in one unforgettable journey.

Pickup from Reykjavik
Your private vehicle picks you up directly from your Reykjavík accommodation at 5 PM. No transfer, no assembly point – the tour starts from your front door. Pickup time will be confirmed 24 hours in advance.
Thingvellir National Park
Iceland's most historically significant landscape and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir is the place where the world's first parliament – the Alþing – was founded in 930 AD. By early evening the site is calm and largely to yourselves. The walk through Almannagjá canyon carries a thousand years of Icelandic history, and the wide open rift valley in the low afternoon light is a world away from the midday tourist rush.
Faxi Waterfall
One of the Golden Circle's best-kept secrets, Faxifoss stretches 80 metres wide across the Tungufljót River in a broad, unhurried cascade that most tour buses drive straight past. In the evening light the waterfall glows warmly against the green riverbanks, and the salmon ladder at its base is active in summer. Rarely crowded at any hour, it is almost entirely your own by evening.
Gullfoss Waterfall
This is the reason for the 4 or 5 PM departure. Gullfoss in golden hour – when the sun is low on the horizon and the light falls warm and sideways across the canyon and the falling water – is one of the most visually striking things Iceland offers in summer. The two-tier waterfall drops 32 metres into its canyon, and in the evening the mist and the light interact in ways that are impossible to forget in person. With most visitors long gone, the viewing platforms are yours.
Geysir Geothermal Area
Strokkur erupts every five to eight minutes regardless of the hour – but the steaming geothermal field in the low evening light has a quality that daytime visits rarely capture. The steam catches the amber sun, the colours of the surrounding hillsides deepen, and the landscape feels quieter and stranger than it does at noon. Strokkur shoots up to 30 metres into the air with each eruption. You will want to watch it more than once.
Kerið Volcanic Crater
On the return south, the tour stops at Kerið – an oval volcanic crater with steep red walls dropping to a still, turquoise lake at the base. The colours here are extraordinary at any time of day, but in the last light of the Icelandic evening they become something else entirely. Walk the rim for the full panoramic view, or follow the path down to the water's edge. Entrance fee not included.
Drop off in Reykjavik
Your private vehicle drops you back directly at your Reykjavík accommodation. Estimated return time is around midnight, depending on pace during the evening. Door to door, start to finish.
