Embark on an unforgettable adventure through Iceland's iconic Golden Circle with this custom-made tour that includes all the popular Golden Circle attractions and much more. This private tour is perfect for nature enthusiasts, photography lovers, and anyone seeking to explore Iceland's natural wonders.

The day begins with a convenient pick-up by a luxury vehicle from your accommodation. As you venture towards the Golden Circle, soak in the mesmerizing landscapes of Iceland, with its rugged mountains, pristine lakes, and vast lava fields.

The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Witness the awe-inspiring rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates diverge.

Take a leisurely stroll along the Almannagja fault line, marvel at the crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure, and learn about the historical significance of this site as the original meeting place of the world's oldest parliament.

Next, you'll visit Gullfoss, the "Golden Falls." Prepare to be spellbound by the sheer power and beauty of this two-tiered waterfall. The glacial Hvita River plummets into a rugged canyon, creating an awe-inspiring display of cascading water and mist. Feel the refreshing spray on your face and revel in the grandeur of this natural masterpiece.

Continuing the journey, you will arrive at the Geysir Geothermal Area, a geothermal wonderland. Strokkur, the most active geyser in the area, shoots scalding hot water high into the air every few minutes. Capture the perfect photo as this natural phenomenon unfolds before your eyes and feel the ground tremble beneath your feet.

The final stop on the Golden Circle route is the enchanting Kerid Crater Lake. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of this volcanic crater, filled with vibrant turquoise water. Take a peaceful walk along the rim, capturing the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and listening to the whispers of Iceland's ancient geological history.

For those eager to experience more of Iceland's wonders, optional additions to the itinerary are available for an additional cost. Specify when booking if these activities interest you.

For example, you can unwind in the Secret Lagoon, a geothermal hot spring known for its therapeutic properties. Otherwise, you could take a snorkeling tour in Silfra and snorkel between continents on the clearest water on the planet. 

Some are eager to discover Skalholt, a historical village, and delve into Iceland's religious and cultural heritage. You can also visit Laugarvatn lake and Fontana Wellness Spa, where you can relax in natural geothermal baths and enjoy the stunning lake views. 

A final choice is to explore the Fridheimar Tomato Farm and learn about sustainable farming practices while savoring delicious tomato-based treats.
