Enjoy and experience The Golden Circle in your own time. Choose when and where to stop, and for how long!

The Golden Circle at your own pace.

Explore the iconic Golden Circle, see the legendary Þingvellir National Park, marvel as a geyser shoots steam and hot water skywards at Geysir Hot Springs, and see the majestic queen of Icelandic waterfalls, Gullfoss. In our newest version of the tour, you get to decide when and where to stop and for how long! This unique Hop On / Hop Off tour stops at all of the Golden Circle’s most famous natural wonders and is a must-see for any visitor in Iceland.

The duration of the tour is 7,5-11,5 hours depending on how long you choose to stop at Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss, or how long you want to spend on an activity on this scenic route. With four departures from every stop on the route, you can simply sit back and enjoy the very best Iceland has to offer, all in one day. For instance, we recommend having a picnic at Þingvellir, or hiking up the hill at Geysir to get a panoramic view of the area. For possible activities to combine with this classic tour.
