Private Winter Golden Circle Tour with Northern Lights

Golden Circle and a chance to see the northern lights in one day (upgrade to driver-guide also possible).

With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. Depending on the month, we can start as early as 11 am or as late as 2 pm. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides.

During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself.

Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since it can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.

Þingvellir, located in southwestern Iceland, is a place of profound historical and geological significance. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir is where the Alþingi, one of the world’s oldest parliaments, convened annually from 930 AD to 1798 AD. The site showcases the assembly’s outdoor meeting grounds, set against a stunning backdrop of rugged cliffs and the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra Fissure.

Beyond its historical importance, Þingvellir is situated in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Visitors can literally walk between these plates along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, making it a remarkable geological site. The park’s natural beauty, cultural significance, and unique geological features make Þingvellir a must-visit destination for those exploring Iceland.
