On this daily tour, we will be exploring two of the country's most iconic sites: Kerlingarfjöll and the Golden Circle. Our first stop will be at the Geysir geothermal area, where you will have the chance to witness the powerful geysers and hot springs that give the area its name. The most famous geyser, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes.

Next, we will head to Kerlingarfjöll, a mountain range located in the highlands known for its unique geothermal features, including hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. It's a unique and mesmerising area, where we'll take you on a picturesque hike, perfect for incredible photos opportunities.

After that, we will visit Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls.

Our final stop on the Golden Circle will be Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the world's oldest parliament and is also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. We'll end our tour with a drive back to Reykjavík.
Available only in summer.

  • End of the Tour

For this tour, it would be a good idea to bring a small backpack to carry essentials such as a camera, extra layers of clothing, gloves, snacks and drinks. Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots would also be recommended. Additionally, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or other head covering can be useful to protect from the sun.
