Gaze over Iceland's most iconic natural wonders on this 6-hour private Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik, featuring geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic craters. This tour is ideal for travelers who want a comfortable, flexible way to see the country’s top sights.
Your journey begins with convenient pickup from your preferred location in Reykjavik. Meet your private driver-guide and set off in comfort toward Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where two tectonic plates drift apart.
Walk between continents in the Almannagja rift valley and admire sites like the Oxararfoss Waterfall and Thingvallakirkja Church. Take time to absorb this iconic national park's unique geology, tranquil views, and cultural significance.
Next, head to the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur Valley, one of Iceland's active and striking geothermal regions. Here, Strokkur Geyser erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, sending boiling water up to 98 feet (30 meters) into the air.
Nearby, walk past bubbling mud pots, steam vents, and mineral deposits in shades of yellow, red, and gray. Visit the dormant Great Geysir, the namesake of all geysers, and browse the visitor center with a restaurant, gift shop, and geothermal exhibits.
From there, continue to Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most powerful and beautiful falls. Watch as glacial water plunges 105 feet (32 meters) in two tiers, often accompanied by rainbows on sunny days.
Then, enjoy a peaceful stop at Faxi Waterfall, a broad, tranquil cascade with a nearby salmon ladder and scenic photo spots.
Depending on timing and interest, your tour may include optional visits to the Secret Lagoon or Fridheimar Tomato Greenhouse. At the Secret Lagoon, soak in natural hot spring waters surrounded by bubbling geothermal vents and untouched Icelandic scenery.
At Fridheimar, dine on fresh tomato-based dishes inside a cozy greenhouse warmed by geothermal energy. See how farmers grow produce year-round and enjoy drinks like tomato beer, Bloody Marys, or fresh-squeezed juice straight from the vine.
After exploring the best of Iceland’s Golden Circle, your guide will return you to your chosen drop-off location in Reykjavik. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the final views of the Icelandic countryside along the way.
This private tour is tailored to your pace, your interests, and your experience. Couples, families, and small groups can enjoy the Golden Circle in complete comfort with the freedom to linger at favorite spots and skip the rest.
