Description

Discover the wonders of Iceland’s Golden Circle with a private day tour designed for the enjoyment of up to six guests. This tour perfectly blends comfort, adventure, and personalized experience, including hotel pick-up and drop-off services. It ensures a seamless journey for all ages, making it ideal for families and groups seeking an intimate adventure.

This tour begins when your private guide picks you up in Reykjavik and takes you out of the city. As there are no other guests, you can ask any questions you like, and they'll tell you about the nature and history of the areas you pass through.

The journey continues with a visit to the remarkable Thiingvellir National Park, where you'll discover Iceland’s historical legacy and geological marvels. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Thingvellir marks the meeting point of tectonic plates with striking fissures and ravines and was once the home of Iceland's parliament.

The landscapes here include dramatic lava fields, beautiful waterways, jagged cliffs, a small waterfall, and a vast lake.

From the historic plains of Thingvellir, the tour leads to the geothermal wonderland of the Geysir area. Witness the ground shake and steam rise as Strokkur geyser bursts into the sky. The nearby visitor center offers a chance to delve into the local culture with its selection of Icelandic crafts and plenty of food options.

While waiting between Strokkur's eruptions, you can enjoy other hot springs and smaller geysers.

Next on the horizon is the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. In an awe-inspiring sight of water thundering down, the two-tiered falls into a dramatic canyon below. Gullfoss, the 'Golden Falls,' is an Icelandic treasure that glistens in the sunlight, its mist creating rainbows that arch across the horizon.

The volcanic sites continue at Kerid crater, a tranquil yet vividly colored lake within a rugged volcanic crater. The contrast between the red rocks and the serene blue water forms a picturesque scene, offering a peaceful moment of reflection and an ideal backdrop for capturing memories.

Throughout the tour, the comfort of the private group ensures a pace tailored to your preferences. 

As the day unfolds, each destination on the Golden Circle reveals its charm. Every sight is a fantastic example of Iceland's nature, from the gushing geysers to cascading waterfalls and the deep blue of crater lakes.

Ensure your place on this intimate and customizable private Golden Circle adventure, where the majesty of Iceland’s natural wonders awaits you. Check the availability now by choosing a date.
