Private Winter Golden Circle Tour with Northern Lights

With departure times around noon, this tour is perfect for those who have had a long day previously. Depending on the month, our tours can commence as early as 11 am or as late as 2 pm. For a deeper insight into history and geology, consider upgrading your driver to one of our knowledgeable tour guides.

The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland, known for its iconic natural landmarks and historical sites. It includes three primary attractions: the majestic waterfall Gullfoss, the geothermal area of Geysir with its erupting hot springs, and Þingvellir National Park, where visitors can witness the continental drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

In the winter months, the days are short, but we ensure you have ample time to explore the sites before embarking on our northern lights hunt. As the name suggests, it's a hunt that may not always be successful due to unpredictable weather conditions. However, the excitement of searching for breaks in the clouds while awaiting the auroras can be an adventure in itself.

Þingvellir National Park
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.
Geysir Hot Spring
Geysir, located in the Haukadalur Valley of southwestern Iceland, is renowned as one of the world’s most iconic geothermal areas. The namesake of all geysers, “Geysir” itself is not as active today, but its neighbor, Strokkur, steals the show by erupting spectacularly every 5-10 minutes, shooting hot water up to 30 meters into the air.

Surrounded by vibrant landscapes, bubbling hot springs, and colorful mineral deposits, Geysir is a captivating testament to the Earth’s geothermal power. Visitors can witness the anticipation and thrill of Strokkur’s eruptions while exploring the unique geothermal wonders that make this area a captivating destination in the heart of Iceland.
Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss, meaning “Golden Falls,” is a breathtaking waterfall situated in the canyon of the Hvítá River in southwest Iceland. One of the country’s most iconic natural wonders, Gullfoss captivates visitors with its awe-inspiring beauty. The waterfall cascades in two tiers, creating a mesmerizing spectacle as the water plunges into a deep, rugged gorge.

Surrounded by pristine landscapes and dramatic rock formations, Gullfoss is not just a visual marvel but also embodies the raw power of nature. Its name reflects the golden hues that often dance in the mist as sunlight interacts with the cascading water. Easily accessible from the popular Golden Circle route, Gullfoss stands as a testament to Iceland’s stunning and untamed natural landscapes.
