Experience Iceland’s legendary Golden Circle and ride across a glacier on a private day tour from Reykjavik. This 10-hour tour is ideal for adventurous travelers who want to explore powerful geysers, crashing waterfalls, and frozen landscapes with the help of a personal guide.
What sets this tour apart is the combination of flexibility, comfort, and adventure. With private transportation and a personal guide, you can explore at your own pace without the rush of a group schedule.
The added snowmobiling experience on Langjokull Glacier brings a thrilling twist to the classic Golden Circle route, turning a scenic day into something unforgettable.
Your private guide will pick you up from your Reykjavik accommodation in a comfortable vehicle suited for the journey ahead. From the city, you'll head into the countryside where open fields, distant mountains, and steaming vents mark the path to Iceland’s Golden Circle.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a place where you can see the land pulling apart between two tectonic plates. Paths lead you through rocky cliffs and mossy terrain, with views over clear springs and deep rifts filled with glacial water.
Next, you’ll visit the Geysir Geothermal Area. The ground is warm underfoot, and steam rises from bubbling pools. Every few minutes, the Strokkur geyser blasts boiling water as high as 100 feet (30 meters) into the sky, giving you the perfect chance for a photo.
From there, the tour continues to Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most powerful falls in Iceland. You’ll hear the roar of water before you even reach the viewpoint. If you walk closer, you might feel the spray on your face as water crashes down two rocky tiers into a deep canyon.
After exploring these highlights, the journey continues toward the vast icy surface of Langjokull Glacier. You’ll ride up to the snowmobiling base, where the real adventure begins. There, you’ll suit up in warm overalls, gloves, and a helmet, ready to head out into a frozen world of snow and silence.
Then it's time to head onto the ice. Snowmobiles glide over the snowy surface, surrounded by wide views of white hills and distant peaks. The cold air is crisp, and the silence on the glacier makes the moment feel like another world.
Depending on time and weather, your guide may include extra stops such as Kerid Crater, a colorful volcanic basin with a lake at the bottom, or Faxi Waterfall, a smaller but peaceful cascade surrounded by nature. You might also visit a hidden geothermal stream or stop for views over remote valleys rarely seen by larger tour groups.
After a full day of sightseeing and adventure, you'll return to Reykjavik with lasting memories of Iceland’s raw beauty and unforgettable landscapes.
