Exhilarating 10-Hour Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Monster Truck Combo Tour from Reykjavik

Discover Iceland's most famous scenic route before conquering one of the country's most incredible glaciers on this exhilarating combo tour. This 10-hour exhilarating adventure takes travelers through the Golden Circle's iconic sights before riding a monster truck to Langjokull glacier.

Things kick off when a bus picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation or a designated bus stop within Iceland's capital. Since this is a guided bus tour, you'll be welcomed by a friendly local guide who will give a brief background about the main destinations and key stops, starting with the Golden Circle.

Considered one of Iceland's most iconic sightseeing routes, the Golden Circle offers a perfect introduction to the country's stunning natural beauty. Located just a short drive from Reykjavik, this popular loop includes three major attractions: the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park, the tour's first stop.

Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its unique geological features. It is also the birthplace of Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, founded in 930 AD, making it one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in the world.

Geologically, Thingvellir National Park is remarkable because it sits on a rift valley formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. You can explore this dramatic landscape and walk between continents along the Almannagja gorge.

As you transfer to the Geysir geothermal area, you'll be treated to numerous hot springs, erupting geysers, and colorful deposits. However, the area is known for two geothermal wonders: the Great Geysir and Strokkur. The Great Geysir has a rich history, documented as far back as the 13th century.

Interestingly, the Geysir's activity has decreased over time due to natural geological changes. On the other hand, Strokkur is known for its frequent eruptions, which occur every five to 10 minutes. Each eruption shoots boiling water up to 66 feet (20 meters) into the air, creating a dramatic spectacle.

After enjoying the wondrous sights of the Geysir geothermal area, the bus will take you to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. Also known as the "Golden Falls," Gullfoss is fed by the glacial waters of the Hvita river and consists of two powerful cascades that plunge into a deep, rugged canyon.

To further appreciate Gullfoss waterfall's raw power and beauty from different angles, you can walk along accessible viewing platforms.

After witnessing the Golden Circle's three iconic attractions, you'll head to the mesmerizing Langjokull glacier. Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjokull spans roughly 367 square miles (950 square kilometers). The glacier's ice cap covers ancient volcanoes, and beneath its thick layers of ice lie volcanic calderas.

To reach Langjokull, you must first ride a monster truck that will safely take you through the glacier. As the monster truck turns across Langjokull glacier, you'll be treated to fresh sights that will leave you amazed.

While on the glacier, you can visit a natural ice cave and experience how it feels inside one. The journey takes you deep into the heart of the glacier, where you'll be surrounded by layers of ancient, blue-tinted ice. As you step inside the cave, you’ll see unique ice formations, tunnels, and crevices that will leave you in awe.

After exploring a natural ice cave, you can ride a sled, sip some hot cocoa, drink fresh water straight from the glacier, or take photos to your heart's content. As the tour reaches its end, you'll return to Gullfoss, where the bus that will take you back to Reykjavik awaits.
