Golden Circle Day Tour with Local Surprise - Small Group Minibus

9 hours Reykjavík areaMagic Iceland Travel Free cancellation on most tours

Experience Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route, the Golden Circle , in a comfortable small-group minibus with an experienced English-speaking guide. This full-day tour takes you to three of Iceland’s most iconic natural attractions. Your first stop is Þingvellir National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. The park is also one of the most historically significant places in Iceland, as it was the site of the country’s first parliament. Next, you will visit the Geysir geothermal area , home to bubbling hot springs and the famous Strokkur geyser , which erupts every few minutes and sends hot water up to 20–30 meters into the air. The journey continues to the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall , one of Iceland’s most powerful and beautiful waterfalls. Here, glacial water from the Langjökull glacier plunges down two dramatic tiers into a rugged canyon. Traveling in a small group minibus allows for a more personal and flexible experience. Depending on weather and timing, your guide may also include additional scenic stops along the way to make the most of the day. As with all our tours, we include our special Icelandic Surprise Experience – a small local treat that gives you a taste of Icelandic culture during the journey. Join us for a relaxed and memorable day exploring Iceland’s most famous natural wonders.
