Description
Embark on an unforgettable Golden Circle private tour from Reykjavik, guided by a certified local expert. This personalized day trip covers all the must-see highlights of Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle—and more—giving you the chance to explore at your own pace and ask all the questions you like.
Start your journey at the breathtaking Kerið volcanic crater, a geological marvel featuring vivid red lava walls, moss-covered slopes, and a stunning deep-blue lake at its base. A short walk along a paved path brings you to panoramic viewpoints—perfect for photography and scenic relaxation.
Visit the Friðheimar greenhouse, where tomatoes are cultivated year-round using sustainable geothermal energy. Enjoy their famous Icelandic tomato soup, served with freshly baked breadsticks in a cozy greenhouse setting—a true farm-to-table experience.
Discover Faxi Waterfall, also known as Vatnsleysufoss, a peaceful and easily accessible cascade. View it from a nearby platform or stroll down a short path for a closer look—an ideal spot for tranquil nature photos.
At the Geysir geothermal area, watch Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes, sending boiling water skyward. Explore bubbling hot springs and steam vents while feeling the raw geothermal energy beneath your feet.
Next, visit Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic and photographed waterfalls. Fed by the glacier-powered Hvítá River, Gullfoss showcases powerful twin cascades and is easily viewed from several well-maintained paths and platforms.
End your tour at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Icelandic parliament (Alþingi) was founded in 930 AD. Here, you can stand between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it a truly unique destination for both history lovers and geology enthusiasts.
