About this activity
Explore Iceland's most iconic natural landmarks—Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Kerid crater lake—on a 9-hour small-group minibus tour capped with an exclusive visit to Friðheimar Farm. This intimate experience (max 18 passengers) combines geological wonders with authentic Icelandic heritage and warm hospitality on working farmland.
The Golden Circle is the name commonly given to a combination of three sites of special significance in the west of Iceland. These sites are Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. All our Golden Circle tours also include a visit to Kerid crater lake (and include the admission ticket). This small group Golden Circle tops the experience by adding a visit to fabulous Fridheimar Farm where our guests are greeted with a guided visit in the farm's stables and greenhouses. Fridheimar has rightfully gained a reputation for its outstanding greenhouse culture, quality horses, and warm welcoming.
The premium Golden Circle tour takes your little group of maximum 18 passengers around in a comfortable minibus. We visit all above mentioned places of interest and more as we attempt to share with you some of the highlights of Icelandic history and nature all in one magnificent route through the Icelandic countryside.
Highlights
- ✓Walk between continental tectonic plates at Þingvellir National Park
- ✓Witness Strokkur geyser erupting hot water at Geysir geothermal zone
- ✓Stand before the thundering Gullfoss two-tier waterfall
- ✓Explore the vivid blue crater lake at Kerid
- ✓Guided tour of Friðheimar's historic horse stables and geothermal greenhouses
- ✓Small-group comfort in a dedicated minibus with expert local guides
Insider tips
- ★Arrive at Geysir early in your tour—Strokkur erupts every 5–10 minutes, but crowds build throughout the day
- ★Wear waterproof layers and sturdy hiking boots; spray from Gullfoss and geothermal vents can drench you quickly
- ★Ask your guide about Friðheimar's Icelandic horse breeding program—photo opportunities with the animals are often available
- ★The route passes through remote countryside; pack snacks and a full water bottle as facilities between sites are sparse
Good to know
- •Kerid crater admission ticket is included; other site entry fees depend on your activities (many walks are free, some parking lots charge small fees)
- •Tour departs from Reykjavík; confirm exact pickup location and time when booking
- •Maximum 18 passengers per group ensures personalized attention and easier photo stops
- •Minibus is suitable for most mobility needs, but inform operator in advance if you have accessibility requirements
- •Bring waterproof jacket, warm layers (temperatures often 5–10°C), and sun protection—weather changes rapidly
