Description

Check off the most famous attractions of Iceland from your bucket list with this super jeep tour of the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Travelers keen on seeing waterfalls, geothermal valleys, and black-sand beaches, all in just one day, should grab this excellent opportunity now.

This sightseeing tour in Iceland opens with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. You'll meet your friendly guide here, who will serve as your driver and primary source of information and assistance for the next 14 hours.

On board an all-terrain super jeep accommodating up to four passengers, the adventure will take you east of the capital to explore the three highlights of Iceland's Golden Circle.

Your first stop is the Thingvellir National Park, where you can see the fissure created by the European and North American tectonic plates drifting apart. You'll have plenty of time to walk around, view stunning geological formations, and check out the beautiful Oxararfoss waterfall.

From Thingvellir, you'll continue to the famous Geysir hot spring area, home of the Strokkur geyser erupting every five to 10 minutes. Experience the power of Icelandic nature as you marvel at superheated water bursting into the air at 66 feet (20 meters).

Next to see is Gullfoss, the golden waterfall, one of Iceland's most beautiful falls. Besides its majestic two-tiered cascade at 105 feet (32 meters), Gullfoss waterfall is famous for its rich history, which you'll know more about from the guide.

After the Golden Circle, the super jeep continues to the southern region of Iceland, where glaciers, waterfalls, and black beaches await you. Before visiting these attractions, there will be a quick lunch stop at the Katla Restaurant in the Lava Center.

Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss are two of the most notable South Coast waterfalls, with a drop of 200 feet (60 meters). Make sure you bring a raincoat as you will have a chance to walk behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss.

A trip to this area wouldn't be complete without a close look at the massive glaciers of Iceland. Here you'll walk to the edge of the Solheimajokull glacier to admire its spectacular blue, black, and white ice. On a sunny day, it's also possible to see the Eyjafjallajokull glacier and Mount Hekla from a distance.

As you get close to the end of the tour, the super jeep will have two more stops at the Dyrholaey Peninsula and Reynisfjara black sand beach. While Dyrholaey boasts colonies of puffins during summer and its massive rock arch, Reynisfjara is a long stretch of black sand beach with sea stacks and basalt columns.

After a day of satisfying sightseeing adventure, you'll head back to your hotel in Reykjavik, marking the end of this tour. If you take this tour during the wintertime, you might catch a glimpse of the northern lights on the return journey.
