Book this incredible three-day guided excursion to explore the spectacular natural sights of Iceland's Golden Circle and the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Those eager to see the landscapes that Iceland is famous for, embark on a range of adventures, and marvel over the northern lights should book this private tour now.
Your tour starts when your expert English-speaking guide picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. This excursion is private, so it will be just you and your party.
Your guide can tailor the tour to your needs, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
On the first day of the tour, you will visit the Golden Circle, a popular sightseeing route in Iceland that covers about 186 miles (300 kilometers).
It includes three main stops: Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. Thingvellir National Park is a historic site where you can see the rift between two tectonic plates.
You'll find bubbling hot springs and the active Strokkur geyser at the Geysir geothermal area, which erupts every few minutes. Gullfoss waterfall is a powerful, two-tiered waterfall that's easy to access. The route is well-paved and has spectacular views.
If you take this tour in winter, you'll go out in the evening in search of the northern lights. Your guide will have access to weather and cloud forecasts, so they'll know where to go for the best chance of seeing the aurora borealis.
On the second day, you'll take a short but steep hike along the Grabrok hiking trail to the Grabrok crater, a 3,000-year-old crater with magnificent views.
Next, you'll visit Deildarunguhver hot spring. One of the most powerful hot springs in Europe, it is located in West Iceland near the town of Reykholt.
It produces a huge volume of hot water—over 180 liters per second—at a temperature of nearly 100°C (212°F). The hot spring is surrounded by rising steam and bubbling water, and the area is fenced off for safety.
The water from Deildarunguhver hot springs is used to heat nearby towns, including Akranes and Borgarnes. A small greenhouse uses the geothermal heat nearby. While you can't bathe here, it's still an interesting and unique stop for visitors to the region.
Other stops on the second day are Hraunfossar and Barnafossar waterfalls that flow through the lava fields.
On the third and final day, you'll visit the beach at Arnarstapi, Djupalonssandur black sand beach, Kirkjufell mountain, and Berserkjahraun lava field.
Each night, you will stay in comfortable accommodation on a family-run farm. The rooms are cozy, and you can meet the Icelandic horses here.
At the end of the third day, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
