Description

Enjoy an exclusive Golden Circle tour with a knowledgeable local driver-guide, designed to take you beyond the usual highlights. This private journey blends Iceland’s iconic landmarks with lesser-known gems, breathtaking volcanic landscapes, powerful geysers, majestic waterfalls, and a relaxing soak in hot springs overlooking the ocean.

Your day begins with pick-up from your accommodation in a comfortable private vehicle. As you leave the city behind, your first stop is the striking red pseudo-craters of Rauðhólar, formed when hot lava once flowed over wetlands, creating a surreal and colorful landscape.

Next, visit the stunning blue waterfall Brúarfoss, famous for its vivid glacial meltwater that cascades into a narrow river channel. Continuing into Iceland’s geothermal heartland, you’ll explore the area where Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending columns of hot water high into the air.

Along the way, we’ll make a short stop to say “Hæ” to the friendly Icelandic horses. From there, experience the power of Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, where glacial waters thunder into a dramatic canyon below.

The journey continues to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can stand between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates — a place of both geological and historical significance.

You’ll also visit the scenic Þórufoss, known for its rugged beauty and for its appearance in the TV series Game of Thrones.

The day concludes with pure relaxation at Hvammsvík Geothermal Hot Springs, where you can unwind in naturally heated pools overlooking the ocean (admission fee not included).
