About this activity
Explore Iceland's three most iconic natural wonders—Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall—on a private 8-hour Golden Circle tour from Reykjavík. Customize your pace and stops while discovering tectonic plate geology, erupting hot springs, and cascading waterfalls with expert local commentary on Iceland's geology and heritage.
Our private Golden Circle Day Tour is the perfect way to experience some of the most popular sights Iceland has to offer. This tour offers you the flexibility to make this journey just as you like it.
The Golden Circle area is home to three famous sites here in Iceland, Þingvellir National park, Geysir and Gullfoss. Our Private Golden Circle Day Tour will take you to all of these essential landmarks and share the highlights of Iceland history, tales & folklore along the way.
The Golden Circle is one of the most popular day tours in Iceland thanks to the geological wonders it encases. Þingvellir national park was once home to the Icelandic parliament as well as the silfra fissue where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are separating. Next up is the steaming hot Geysir geothermal area where you can witness frequent hot spring eruptions and finally, Gullfoss more commonly known as the Golden Waterfall. Gullfoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland.
