Description

See the Golden Circle and two extra stops, Kerid Crater and Bruarfoss Waterfall, on this bus tour from Reykjavik with a Chinese-speaking guide.

The tour starts in Reykjavik. The bus has Wi-Fi and hot water on board.

Your first stop is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater with red slopes and a deep blue lake.

Next, you visit Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most powerful waterfalls in Iceland, where the Hvita River falls into a canyon.

At the Geysir Geothermal Area, the Strokkur Geyser erupts every 4 to 16 minutes, shooting boiling water high into the air.

Then you take a short break at Bru Horse Farm, where you can meet Icelandic horses.

The tour continues to Bruarfoss Waterfall, known as "Iceland's blue waterfall" for its turquoise water.

The last stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. It was also the site of the Icelandic parliament, founded in 930 AD.

The tour then returns to Reykjavik.

Tips from travelers

  • Connect with the guide on chat

    Download WeChat or WhatsApp so you can receive the guide's messages, meeting reminders, and directions throughout the day.

  • Wear sturdy shoes with traction

    Paths around the waterfalls and crater include gravel trails and steps that become slippery when wet.

  • Carry a waterproof outer layer

    Wind and water spray are common at the waterfall viewpoints, so waterproof clothing keeps you dry.

  • Bring lunch and light snacks

    Packing your own meal lets you spend the scheduled lunch break exploring the sights rather than waiting in dining lines.

  • Track upcoming rest stops

    Pay attention to the guide's transit announcements, as they warn you ahead of time which scenic areas have restrooms.

  • Protect your camera lens

    Wipe down your camera or phone lens regularly, as mist from waterfalls settles quickly on screens.

Good to know

Travelers explore each stop on their own and return to the bus at an agreed departure time. Expect considerable walking on natural ground, with stretches of uneven earth, steps, and loose stones along the pathways.

The journey involves extended periods on the bus between locations, with scenic driving through the countryside. Guides provide background commentary throughout the transit while guests are seated.

The tour lasts about 9 hours, depending on the weather, roads, and traffic.

Pickup starts at 9:00 a.m., and Bus Stop 12 is the free meeting point.

Pickup can take up to 40 minutes, so wait at your pickup point.

The tour needs at least 10 participants to run, and you're told at least 1 day in advance if the minimum isn't reached.

The tour usually runs in a 48- to 57-seat coach, or a minibus with fewer than 19 participants.

The Chinese-language tour may sometimes be combined with an English-language tour, but Chinese guiding is always provided.

The tour has a lunch stop.
