Private 8.5-Hour Golden Circle and Northern Lights Tour with Food, Drinks, & Transfer from Reykjavik

Experience the ultimate Icelandic adventure on this private 8.5-hour tour that combines the iconic Golden Circle with an enchanting evening of northern lights hunting. This exclusive journey offers an unforgettable day of exploration and delicious local treats with the comfort of a private guide and transportation.

Your adventure begins with a seamless pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik. A spacious private van accommodating up to seven guests will be your trusted companion for the day.

With onboard Wi-Fi, bottled water, and snacks provided, you can relax and enjoy the journey through Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. Your professional licensed guide leads the way and will enrich your experience with fascinating insights and ensure your trip runs smoothly.

The Golden Circle's first highlight is Thingvellir National Park, where nature and history intertwine. You'll wander through the Almannagja gorge, where the cracks between North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visible. 

The park also has stunning sceneries, with glacial rivers and a vast lake threading through mossy plains and volcanic rocks.

Beyond its natural beauty, Thingvellir is culturally and historically significant. It's where ancient assemblies happened and where Viking chieftains convened to shape the nation's identity.

Next, enter the dynamic geothermal world of the Geysir area. Strokkur, the energetic geyser, erupts with steaming water like a natural heartbeat every few minutes, but there's more to discover here. 

At this geothermal valley, you can walk past steaming vents and vividly colored earth to feel the primal energy of Iceland bubbling just beneath your feet.

At Gullfoss, or the "Golden Falls," you'll do more than admire its two-tiered cascade. Your guide will help you find unique vantage points where the play of light and water transforms the falls into a spectacle, especially in the soft glow of a sunny day.

On top of these Golden Circle highlights, the itinerary also features a visit to the Kerid crater, Bru horsefarm, and Fridheimar tomato farm. 

At Fridheimar, you'll savor the freshest tastes of Iceland in a greenhouse warmed by geothermal energy. Your booking includes tomato soup and baguette, but you can order more for an extra cost.

As night falls, your guide will take you to remote, aurora-friendly locations for northern lights hunting. 

Far from city lights, you'll have the best chance to witness the auroras. Unlike other tours, your guide will share insights into the science and legends surrounding these ethereal lights, from the folklore of celestial spirits to modern explanations of solar wind interactions. 

You'll cozy up with hot chocolate and cookies as the sky transforms into a canvas of greens, purples, and reds, and have your magical moments professionally captured.

Please note that northern lights sighting isn't guaranteed and depends on certain natural conditions. The best time to see it is during the dark nights between September and April.
