Experience Iceland’s most famous attractions and ride a monster truck across Langjokull Glacier on this minibus Golden Circle tour. This 10-hour day tour from Reykjavik is ideal if you want to see Iceland’s most famous sights and try something exciting in one easy day.
Everything is planned to run smoothly, so you can simply enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics or timing. This small-group tour in Iceland ensures a more personal and relaxed adventure.
On this Golden Circle excursion, you’ll visit Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall before going on an off-road journey to Langjokull Glacier. Together, these Golden Circle attractions are among Iceland’s most iconic sights and form the core of this famous route.
Enjoy a smooth start with pick-up in Reykjavik and a local guide leading the way. Throughout the journey, your guide shares fascinating stories and insights about Iceland’s history, culture, and natural wonders.
Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s first parliament was founded in 930. The park sits on the Mid-Atlantic Rift, and you’ll see the dramatic rift valley created by shifting tectonic plates.
From here, the journey continues to the Geysir Geothermal Area. The highlight is Strokkur, a powerful geyser that erupts every five to ten minutes, sending steaming water up to 65 feet (20 meters) into the air. Colorful mineral deposits and bubbling pools fill the area, creating a striking landscape.
After Geysir, your guide will take you toward Gullfoss Waterfall. You’ll pause nearby but save the full visit for later. Instead, you’ll transfer into a specially designed monster truck for the second half of your adventure. This massive vehicle is built to handle the rugged terrain of the Icelandic Highlands.
The truck carries you off-road toward Langjokull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest. The ride is an adventure in itself, crossing snow and ice while your guide shares glacier facts and local stories. You’ll have three to four hours to explore the glacier’s vast white expanse, breathe fresh mountain air, and take in the panoramic views.
Depending on the conditions, you may get to try sledding on the glacier or even a quick round of glacier golf. At a scenic stop on the glacier, you can enjoy hot drinks, kleina pastry, and even a taste of pure glacier water. This unique experience makes for incredible photos and lasting memories.
After exploring Langjokull, you’ll return to your minibus and head back to Gullfoss for a full visit. This thundering waterfall is one of Iceland’s most iconic sights, with the Hvita River plunging into a rugged canyon. From the viewpoint, you’ll feel the spray on your face and the sheer force of nature all around you.
With the Golden Circle completed and a glacier adventure behind you, your guide will bring you back to Reykjavik. The mix of sightseeing and off-road exploration makes this one of Iceland’s most dynamic day tours.
