Explore Iceland's top attractions along the Golden Circle route and venture deep into a glacier in this action-packed day trip from Reykjavik. This unforgettable 10-hour winter tour combines history, geothermal wonders, waterfalls, and a thrilling monster truck ride across Langjokull Glacier for the ultimate Iceland adventure.
Your winter adventure in Iceland begins with a convenient pick-up at your hotel or designated bus stop in Reykjavik before setting out on Iceland’s most famous sightseeing trail. Enjoy a small-group Golden Circle tour led by a guide who makes the experience personal and engaging.
The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most celebrated sightseeing route and a must-do day tour from Reykjavik. Famous for its dramatic landscapes, geysers, waterfalls, and tectonic rift valleys, it’s the perfect introduction to Iceland’s natural wonders.
At the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park, you’ll stand where Iceland’s first parliament met in 930 AD. Here, the earth itself tells a story as the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates create dramatic rift valleys and lava-strewn landscapes found nowhere else on Earth.
Next, the tour brings you to the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to Iceland’s most famous hot springs. Watch as Strokkur erupts every few minutes, even when surrounded by snow during winter, launching columns of boiling water up to 82 feet (25 meters) into the air.
From there, you’ll marvel at the mighty Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Stand close enough at this so-called “Golden Falls” to feel the mist on your face as rainbows shimmer in the spray on sunny days.
The adventure then shifts into high gear. From Gullfoss, you’ll board one of Iceland’s largest monster trucks, custom-built to safely traverse the icy terrain of Langjokull Glacier, the second-largest glacier in the country.
As the truck climbs higher, panoramic views of vast white landscapes and distant mountain peaks unfold around you. Along the way, your expert glacier guide will share fascinating insights into Icelandic geology, glacial science, and folklore, making the journey as inspiring as it is thrilling.
The highlight of the day awaits: exploring a natural ice cave hidden within Langjokull. Step inside this frozen world where centuries of ice have compressed into deep blue layers, streaked with volcanic ash from ancient eruptions. This rare opportunity to walk inside a living glacier is a bucket-list experience few travelers will ever forget.
After your glacier exploration, the monster truck returns you to Gullfoss, where your Golden Circle vehicle awaits for the scenic ride back to Reykjavik. Relax and reflect on a day filled with adventure, discovery, and awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Don’t miss the chance to experience Iceland’s Golden Circle and step inside a glacier on the same day. Check availability by choosing a date.
