Prepare for an epic 10-hour adventure, visiting the attractions on Iceland's most popular sightseeing route, the Golden Circle, and enjoying a one-hour snowmobiling excursion on the Langjokull glacier. Travelers who want to visit Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and the Gullfoss waterfall with an expert guide will love this combination tour.
The fun begins at your accommodation in Reykjavik, where an expert local guide will collect you. You'll drive out of the city toward the day's first destination, the historic Thingvellir National Park.
Arriving at Thingvellir National Park, you can immerse yourself in the rich history and stunning geological formations of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Here, you can stand where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia are pulling apart, creating a rift valley unlike any other.
You'll have time to explore the park and enjoy the spectacular scenery. You can see valleys, lava fields, waterfalls, and lakes. It's a fantastic first stop on your Golden Circle adventure.
Next, you'll continue to the Geysir geothermal area in the Haukadalur valley. Witness the incredible power of the earth as geysers shoot hot water and steam high into the air.
Geysir gave its name to all other geysers worldwide, but it's inactive today. Luckily, the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, so you should get to see it during your visit.
The tour continues to Gullfoss waterfall, known as the "Golden Falls." This breathtaking two-tiered waterfall plunges into a dramatic canyon. Gullfoss waterfall's sheer power and beauty will leave you in awe, and you'll have time to capture the perfect photo to help you remember this natural wonder.
Most Golden Circle tours end here, but not this one. After a quick lunch break, you'll drive up the mountain road and head onto the Langjokull glacier for an exhilarating snowmobiling excursion.
Your experienced mountain guide will provide you with insulated overalls and a helmet. After a quick safety briefing, you'll ride over the ice cap for about an hour.
Ride through pristine snow-covered landscapes and feel the wind on your face as you zip across the glacier's frozen surface. Stunning mountains and dramatic wintery landscapes will surround you. You can break to take photos as you ride.
After a fantastic hour-long snowmobiling ride, you'll return to the vehicle and go back to Reykjavik.
