Itinerary and highlights
Golden Circle is the ultimate day tour route from Reykjavik. It includes three Iceland's iconic destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
After pickup, we drive 60 minutes to our first stop.
Your expert guide will introduce you to Thingvellir National Park, the site of Iceland´s first parliament, the Althingi. The Unesco heritage site is also notable as the location where the North-American and Eurasian continental plates meet.
Just 15 minutes away is Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland´s most powerful falls and is fed by meltwater from the nearby Langjökull glacier.
We drive for 60 minutes to our next stop.
Witness the famous eruption of steam and boiling water from Strokkur geyser. This erupts every 10 minutes or so so you will have plenty of time to see multiple eruptions.
An hour away from Gullfoss is our final sightseeing stop.
See this stunning volcanic crater lake. Descend the steps to the water surface or view from above.
Relax in the warm, healing waters of the Blue Lagoon. Your Comfort entrance ticket includes towel, face mask and free first drink of your choice.
Your Northern Lights tour explores the countryside beyond Reykjavík in search of clear skies and the aurora.
