Description

Experience the classic Golden Circle tour, plus enjoy added extras such as cooking eggs in a hot spring and visiting the breathtaking Kerid crater. Those looking to see top tourist attractions and get a taste of Icelandic life should book this nine-hour private tour now.

Your exciting trip begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik accommodation. Then it’s time to follow the Golden Circle route with some extra stops for the ultimate culturally-rich experience.

First up is the Thingvellir National Park, an unforgettable destination. Thingvellir is a beautiful place to stroll in a geographically significant location. The North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are gradually moving apart here, making it the only place you can walk between the continents globally.

The second attraction on the Golden Circle route is the Geysir geothermal area. Geysir boasts spurting geysers, steaming fumaroles, and boiling mud pits. The Strokkur geyser is the show’s star, with its impressive display of water bursting high into the air. You only need to wait 10 minutes or less to see this unique spectacle.

The Gullfoss waterfall is the final Golden Circle attraction and a perfect contrast to the landscapes you witnessed at Thingvellir National Park and the Geysir geothermal area. This waterfall tumbles in two stages, boasting an incredible display of power.

Also known as the Golden Falls, you might be lucky enough to see a rainbow shining in front of the falls on a sunny day.

This full-day excursion offers way more than a traditional Golden Circle tour. Not only will you check off some top bucket list attractions, but you’ll also enjoy a slice of Icelandic living at a few bonus stop-off locations.

Try the unique experience of cooking eggs in a hot spring and taste homemade ice cream on a traditional Icelandic farm. You can pet the horses at the farm and enjoy your countryside surroundings.

Those who book their tour early will also have the opportunity to eat tomato soup in a greenhouse. Make sure you get in quickly for this delicious farm-to-table addition to your itinerary.

Kerid crater is today’s final stop. Not many Golden Circle tours include a visit to Kerid crater, but you’ll be glad you got to see it.

You can walk up to the top of the crater and around its perimeter for stunning views down into the crater lake. The turquoise water contrasts beautifully with the earthy colors of the crater.

After a memorable day, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Discover Iceland’s top attractions on this nine-hour private tour, including the Golden Circle, Kerid crater, and traditional Icelandic experiences. Check availability now by choosing a date.
