Guided Day Trip: Discover the Golden Circle and Beyond

Join us for an unforgettable guided day trip through Iceland’s most popular and breathtaking sites. This journey offers a perfect blend of nature, geology, history and covering must-see locations like Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss.

Tour Highlights:

  • Þingvellir National Park: Our first stop, Þingvellir, is where the Icelandic Parliament, the world's oldest, was founded in 930 AD. Here, you'll witness the dramatic meeting point of the European and American tectonic plates and stand where Viking settlers once made their laws. Designated UNESCO World Heritage site.
  • Geysir Geothermal Area: Enjoy watch as the powerful Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water high into the air.
  • Gullfoss Waterfall: Known as the "Queen of Icelandic Waterfalls," Gullfoss is a spectacular sight, cascading down into a deep canyon. This awe-inspiring waterfall is a highlight of the Golden Circle.
  • Faxi Waterfall: A lesser-known gem, Faxi is a beautiful waterfall located on a salmon river, offering a tranquil and picturesque stop.
  • Skálholt Church: Visit the historic Skálholtskirkja, a peaceful site with a rich history as one of Iceland’s most important cultural centers.
  • Kerið Crater: Explore the Kerið volcano crater, with its striking red slopes and deep blue waters, providing a unique geological experience.
  • Hveragerði Geothermal Town: Our final stop is Hveragerði, a town built around geothermal energy, where you can see firsthand how this natural resource powers the community.

Optional Activities

Enhance your experience by choosing one of the following activities for an additional fee:

  • Snorkeling in Silfra: Snorkel in blue water between the two tectonic plates of Europe and America.
  • Snowmobile Ride on Langjökull Glacier: For an extra thrill, you can opt for a snowmobile ride on the Langjökull glacier. The experience includes a 1-hour journey to the glacier in a massive 8×8 mountain truck, followed by 1 hour of snowmobiling. All necessary gear, instructions, and safety measures are included. Please note that this activity is weather-dependent.
