Today, you’ll set out on an unforgettable journey along the Golden Circle, Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route.

Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s first parliament was established in 930 AD. This remarkable location sits between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, creating a dramatic rift valley with stunning rock formations and crystal-clear springs.

Next, you’ll visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to Strokkur, a geyser that erupts 49 to 66 feet (15 to 20 meters) into the air every few minutes. The landscape here is alive with bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and colorful mineral deposits, making it a fascinating display of Iceland’s geothermal power.

Your final stop is Gullfoss, the Golden Falls, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls. It cascades in two stages, dropping 36 feet (11 meters) and then 69 feet (21 meters) into a rugged canyon. During summer, 459 cubic feet (140 cubic meters) of water thunders over the edge every second, creating a mesmerizing display of raw natural power.

Before leaving, you can stop at Gullfoss Cafe to enjoy a selection of soups, salads, and fresh Icelandic pastries.

Several optional tours are available to add more excitement to your day. Snowmobiling on Langjokull glacier allows you to race across an icy expanse with breathtaking highland views.

For a more relaxed adventure, horseback riding through the countryside on a unique Icelandic horse offers a peaceful way to explore Iceland’s rugged terrain. If you’re drawn to underwater wonders, snorkeling in Silfra fissure gives you the rare chance to float between two continental plates in some of the world’s clearest waters.

For those who prefer relaxation over high-adrenaline activities, a visit to the Blue Lagoon can be arranged at the end of your Golden Circle tour.

If your schedule didn’t allow for this experience on day 1, today presents the perfect opportunity to unwind in the soothing, mineral-rich waters of Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa. If time is limited today, it can be scheduled for your arrival or departure day, ensuring that you can fully enjoy its restorative powers without feeling rushed.

After a day filled with incredible sights, you’ll return to Reykjavik for another evening. Take the opportunity to explore the city’s thriving restaurant scene, sip coffee in a cozy café, or experience Reykjavik’s lively nightlife before settling in for the night.

Today, you’ll embark on an unforgettable guided journey along Iceland’s stunning South Coast, a region known for its towering waterfalls, massive glaciers, and dramatic black sand beaches.

Your first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a breathtaking waterfall that plunges 197 feet (60 meters) over a concave cliff, allowing visitors to walk behind the cascading water for a unique perspective.

This experience is only possible during summer, so if you plan to step behind the falls, be sure to wear waterproof gear to stay dry from the powerful mist.

Next, you’ll visit Skogafoss, one of Iceland’s largest and most powerful waterfalls. Just as tall as Seljalandsfoss but significantly wider at 82 feet (25 meters), this mighty cascade creates a thick mist upon impact, often producing a mesmerizing double rainbow on sunny days.

The flat ground beneath the falls allows you to walk right up to the base, offering an up-close experience with the sheer power of Icelandic nature.

For those seeking adventure, today also offers an unforgettable glacier hike on Solheimajokull, a striking outlet of Myrdalsjokull, one of Iceland’s largest glaciers.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll trek across bright blue crevasses, deep glacier moulins, and ever-changing ice formations, making this a thrilling experience for anyone aged eight and above.

The day’s final stop takes you to Reynisfjara, Iceland’s most famous black sand beach.

Here, you can witness the North Atlantic waves crashing against the shore and admire the towering Reynisdrangar sea stacks, dramatic basalt columns, and the rugged Dyrholaey peninsula in the distance. Keep an eye out for puffins nesting on the cliffs during summer.

After a full day of exploring Iceland’s most breathtaking coastal landscapes, you’ll continue east to your accommodations in Vatnajokull National Park, where more incredible adventures await.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
Diamond Beach
More

Today, you’ll visit Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Iceland's deepest lagoon is 820 feet (250 meters) deep. This mesmerizing location is filled with giant icebergs that have calved from Breidamerkurjokull, an outlet of Vatnajokull glacier.

These massive ice formations drift across the brilliant blue waters before reaching the sea, creating an ever-changing landscape of glowing whites and deep blues.

For a closer look at these floating icebergs—and possibly some playful seals—you can opt for a boat tour on Jokulsarlon, available during booking. A relaxing amphibious boat ride is perfect for families, allowing you to glide across the lagoon’s calm waters while taking in the surreal scenery.

Alternatively, a zodiac boat tour offers a more adventurous experience. It brings you even closer to the towering icebergs, giving you a true sense of their immense size.

Just a short walk from the lagoon, you’ll discover Diamond Beach, a stretch of black volcanic sand where small icebergs wash ashore, glistening like scattered gemstones in the sunlight.

Officially named Breidamerkursandur, this stunning beach offers a striking contrast between the icy blues of the icebergs and the dark sand beneath them, making it a favorite spot for photography and quiet reflection.

After exploring Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach, you’ll begin your journey back to Reykjavik. Along the way, your local guide will make special stops at hidden gems in the countryside, giving you a chance to experience places that most travelers wouldn’t discover on their own.

This scenic return drive provides one last opportunity to soak in Iceland’s untouched beauty before reaching the capital, where you’ll spend your final night.

For those with a later flight, today presents the perfect opportunity to visit the world-famous Blue Lagoon if you haven’t done so earlier. Unwind in its warm, mineral-rich waters, letting the soothing geothermal bath relax your body after days of adventure.

As you soak in the serene atmosphere, take a moment to reflect on the unforgettable experiences you’ve had in the land of fire and ice.

If you have extra time in Reykjavik before heading to the airport, you can choose from a variety of optional activities to make the most of your final hours in Iceland. Watch whales from the harbor, stroll through Reykjavik’s historic streets, or savor Icelandic cuisine and local brews.

For something more immersive, soar over Iceland’s landscapes at FlyOver Iceland, get up close to lifelike whale replicas at the Whales of Iceland exhibition, or step into the awe-inspiring world of the northern nights at the Aurora Centre.
