Description

Begin your tour with a pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavík. Travel in a luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicle through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Make your first stop at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Iceland’s democracy. Stand between two continents as the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart. Feel the history where ancient Vikings held the world’s oldest parliament over a thousand years ago, surrounded by stunning lava fields, clear glacial rivers, and dramatic cliffs. Next, continue to the famous Geysir geothermal area, where you’ll witness Strokkur erupting boiling water up to 30 meters high every few minutes. Your guide will explain the fascinating geothermal forces beneath your feet and share insights about how this area gave its name to all the geysers in the world. From there, head to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, known as the “Golden Falls.” Feel the mist on your face as you admire the powerful double cascade plunging into a rugged canyon — one of Iceland’s most photographed natural wonders. On sunny days, a rainbow often arcs over the roaring water, creating a truly magical sight. During the day, visit Kerið crater, a volcanic caldera filled with striking blue water, surrounded by vivid red and green slopes. This colorful natural amphitheater is one of the lesser-known highlights of the Golden Circle — a hidden gem that many tours overlook. Depending on your interests, include a stop at Efstidalur farm, a family-run dairy farm where you can taste homemade ice cream, or at Friðheimar greenhouse, where fresh tomatoes grow year-round using geothermal energy. These local experiences offer a glimpse into Icelandic sustainability and rural life. Throughout the journey, your guide will share fascinating stories about Iceland’s geology, history, and mythology — from the power of volcanoes to tales of elves and Vikings. Every stop is personalized and flexible, so you can take photos, enjoy nature, and explore at your own rhythm. Entrance to all natural attractions and parking fees are included in the price. As this is a private tour, you will never have to worry about crowds or waiting. If time allows, your guide may also show you a few hidden spots along the way that most travelers never see. By the end of the day, you will have experienced the very essence of Iceland — fire, ice, water, and history — in the most comfortable and luxurious way possible.
