Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most beloved sightseeing route, and our tours make it effortless to experience. This roughly 300-kilometre loop from Reykjavík links three natural showpieces: Þingvellir National Park, where you can walk between two tectonic plates; the Geysir geothermal area, where Strokkur erupts every few minutes; and the mighty two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall.

Easy to reach and spectacular in every season, the Golden Circle is the perfect introduction to Iceland. Choose a classic day tour, a small-group experience, or a version that adds a geothermal lagoon, snowmobiling or an evening of northern lights.

Best time to go: Year-round — lush and long-lit in summer, snow-dusted and aurora-ready in winter.
