Join this full-day Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik and explore Iceland’s iconic natural wonders with a Chinese-speaking guide. This 8-hour experience also includes extra waterfalls beyond the usual route, giving you a richer look at geysers, volcanic craters, and Iceland’s unique landscapes in your own language.
Your Chinese-speaking guide will share stories about Iceland’s nature, culture, and history at each stop. With comfortable transport and plenty of time to explore, this tour is an easy and enjoyable way to see the Golden Circle in one day.
The Golden Circle tour begins with pickup in Reykjavik, where you’ll board a comfortable bus offering Wi-Fi and hot tea for the road.
Your first stop is Kerid Volcanic Crater, formed around 6,500 years ago. Its red slopes and bright blue lake create a striking view. Follow the path down to see the colorful water up close and walk around the rim for a wider look.
Next, visit Faxi Waterfall, also known as Faxafoss, a peaceful cascade along the Tungufljot River. Though smaller than some of Iceland’s famous waterfalls, Faxi’s wide curtain of water and tranquil surroundings make it an ideal spot for photos. Stroll to the nearby viewing platform to feel the cool mist and listen to the gentle rush of the falls before continuing your journey.
The Golden Circle tour then heads to the Geysir Geothermal Area, one of Iceland’s most active geothermal fields. Here, the Strokkur Geyser erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, shooting steaming water up to 98 feet (30 meters) into the air. Walk carefully along the marked paths to see bubbling mud pots and hot springs, and keep your camera ready to capture Strokkur’s next burst.
A short drive away lies Gullfoss, or “Golden Falls,” one of the country’s most powerful and beloved waterfalls. The Hvita River plunges over two tiers into a rugged canyon, creating a spectacular display of mist and light. Follow the walking paths to multiple viewing decks for different perspectives, and on sunny days, look for rainbows forming in the spray.
Continue to Bruarfoss, known as Iceland’s “blue waterfall.” Its bright blue-green color comes from glacial water reflecting the light. Walk across a small bridge to see the streams join into one vivid blue cascade, a popular spot for photos.
The final stop of this Golden Circle full-day tour is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland’s most historic and geologically fascinating places. This is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic cliffs and fissures.
Walk between the continents along Almannagja Gorge and visit Oxararfoss Waterfall. Take in the park’s striking scenery, which played a significant role in Iceland’s history as the site of the world’s oldest parliament, founded in 930 AD.
After exploring Thingvellir, you’ll relax on the return drive to Reykjavik, reflecting on a full day of incredible sights and experiences.
