Description
Begin your adventure with a guided small-group tour of the famous Golden Circle. At Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, walk between two continents where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart.
Next, marvel at the geothermal activity in the Geysir area, where Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes in a spectacular burst of steam and boiling water.
At Gullfoss waterfall, the tour shifts gears. Board the mighty Sleipnir Monster Truck for an exhilarating ride into the Icelandic Highlands. This custom-built glacier vehicle takes you safely across the vast expanse of Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap.
Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the glacier’s formation, Icelandic highlands, folklore and geology. The highlight: stepping into a natural ice cave where clear blue ice meets ancient volcanic ash, creating mesmerizing patterns and colors.
On the return journey, have a final stop at Gullfoss to feel the power of this thunderous waterfall up close — a breathtaking moment and the perfect conclusion to your day.

Important Information

For safety, the Monster Truck part may be cancelled the day before due to weather.
The ice cave walk is moderate; guests must handle uneven ground and narrow steps. Spikes provided.
Bring snacks and water. We recommend to bring packed lunch as the stop at Geysir for food is better spend for the visit of the hot spring.
