Marvel at the many wonders on Iceland's most popular sightseeing route before exploring one of the country's largest glaciers on a snowmobile with this 10-hour Golden Circle super jeep and snowmobile tour from Reykjavik. This is an excellent adventure for small groups and families who wish to discover Iceland's natural beauty and experience the breathtaking Langjokull glacier.

The fun begins in the morning when a friendly guide picks you up from Reykjavik. You'll then board a super jeep, one of the safest and most efficient vehicles for traversing challenging terrain.

The Golden Circle spans approximately 300 kilometers (186 miles) and boasts diverse landscapes and attractions. One of the main highlights of the Golden Circle is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is also the tour's first stop. It's the birthplace of the world's oldest parliament, Althingi, and, therefore, one of Iceland's most historically significant places.

One of the most remarkable features of the Thingvellir National Park is the Almannagja rift valley, at the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. You can walk between these massive geological plates and witness the dramatic fissures and rock formations resulting from the ongoing tectonic activity.

After basking in the beauty of Thingvellir National Park and taking lots of photos, you'll head to another fascinating location along the Golden Circle route, the Geysir geothermal area. It's known for its mesmerizing geothermal features, including the Great Geysir and the Strokkur geyser.

The name "geyser" originated from the Great Geysir, making it the namesake for all geysers worldwide. Nowadays, it is the Strokkur geyser that erupts regularly, sending scalding water soaring high into the air. You'll be treated to this awe-inspiring display of nature's power and beauty every few minutes.

After enjoying the various geothermal wonders in the area, the guide will take you to the Gullfoss waterfall. Also known as the "Golden Falls," Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most renowned and majestic waterfalls. Aside from being a natural wonder, the waterfall is also a testament to the power and beauty of Iceland's dramatic landscape.

Gullfoss cascades in two stages, dropping 105 feet (32 meters) into a narrow, rugged canyon. Its name, "Golden Falls," is derived from the golden-brown hue of the glacial silt-laden water, which seems to glow when caught in the sunlight. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery during the summer, creating a striking contrast with the foaming white waters.

Before the day ends, your guide will take you to the Langjokull glacier area. You'll ride a snowmobile there and explore the glacier in all its glory. The impressive Langjokull glacier covers an expansive area of approximately 368 square miles (953 square kilometers) and extends over 31 miles (50 kilometers) long.

Moreover, it has a stunning ice cap, which conceals an otherworldly world of ice caves and tunnels beneath its surface. With the glacier's massive coverage, exploring the area on a snowmobile is a one-of-a-kind experience you'll never forget.

After a thrilling day, your driver will take you back to your Reykjavik accommodation in the super jeep.
