Discover Iceland's natural wonders on this unforgettable Golden Circle and Perlan Museum combo tour departing from Reykjavik. This 10-hour experience is ideal for travelers who want to see Iceland's most iconic outdoor landmarks and explore immersive exhibitions focused on geology, glaciers, and the northern lights.
Your day begins with pick-up in Reykjavik, where you'll join a comfortable bus or minibus and meet your knowledgeable local guide.
From the city, you'll head into Iceland's scenic countryside to begin the Golden Circle route, a classic circuit featuring some of the country's most striking natural features.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic landscapes formed by the shifting tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. You'll have the chance to walk through this rift valley and take in its surrounding lava fields, crystal-clear springs, and towering cliffs.
Next, you'll visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, where bubbling hot springs and erupting geysers showcase the raw power beneath Iceland's surface. The active geyser Strokkur regularly sends bursts of water up to 65 feet (20 meters) into the air, thrilling visitors with its powerful display.
The third stop is Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls. This two-tiered cascade plunges into a rugged canyon, offering stunning photo opportunities and the chance to experience the roar and spray up close.
Afterward, you'll continue to Kerid, a volcanic crater filled with a bright blue lake, framed by red volcanic rock. Kerid is roughly 6,500 years old and is an excellent place to learn more about the volcanic history of Iceland.
Following your Golden Circle adventure, the bus will take you back to Reykjavik for the second part of your tour. You'll be dropped off at Perlan Museum, one of the capital's most popular attractions. Entry to the Wonders of Iceland exhibition is included in your tour.
Inside, you can explore interactive displays that cover Iceland's glaciers, volcanoes, oceanic environments, birdlife, and the northern lights. A highlight is the indoor ice cave, which gives visitors a realistic sense of what it's like to explore a glacier from the inside.
At Perlan, you can also enjoy stunning panoramic views of Reykjavik and its surrounding landscapes from the observation deck, which is located on the building's top floor. The dome-shaped structure is an architectural marvel, and the observation area offers a perfect spot to capture breathtaking photos of the city, the ocean, and the distant mountains.
This combination 10-hour tour is a perfect blend of outdoor sightseeing and hands-on education, offering a deeper understanding of the land of ice and fire.
