OperatorAbout this tour
Iceland's Golden Circle is one of the great road trips of the world: ancient history, erupting geysers, thundering waterfalls, and a landscape that genuinely does not look like anywhere else on Earth. This tour adds two stops most visitors miss - a quiet, crowd-free waterfall on the Tungufljót River, and eight natural hot springs on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in a remote Icelandic fjord.
This is a fully private tour . Your group - up to 3 people in a private sedan, or up to 8 in a private minivan - gets a dedicated guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises. If you want to stay longer at Gullfoss because the light is perfect, you stay. If you want to watch Strokkur erupt one more time, you watch. The day is yours.
Your private guide brings deep knowledge of Iceland's history, culture, and landscape to every stop. They are there to answer questions, provide context, and make sure your group gets the most out of every moment on the route.
The route takes you across some of the most dramatic terrain in Europe before finishing at Hvammsvik Hot Springs - named the Best Thing to Do in the World by Time Out Magazine in 2023. Sitting in the heart of Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord), Hvammsvik offers eight pools of varying temperatures right on the ocean's edge, some of which ebb and flow with the Atlantic tide. It is a genuinely extraordinary way to close the day.
Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Door-to-door pickup and drop-off from your Reykjavík accommodation is included. The itinerary order may be adjusted on the day due to weather or road conditions.
