Get to know Iceland with a private tour of the Golden Circle where you’ll see spectacular nature, erupting geyser and a magnificent waterfall. Those wanting to travel at their own pace, as well as tailor a tour to their own interest, need look no further than this tour.  You’ll be picked up at your Reykjavík accommodations in the morning by a luxurious vehicle that will whisk you out of the city to your first adventure. If you are arriving in the country via cruise ship, you can also be picked up at Reykjavík harbour’s cruise ship port.  Your first stop of the day is Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of Iceland’s parliament. It is here where Viking settlers would gather to create the laws of the land and settle disputes. Þingvellir’s geology is also fascinating as the park is not located on the Eurasian nor the North American tectonic plate, but in a rift valley between. The shifting of the plates causes visible cracks and canyons in the region, some of which are filled with crystal clear meltwater from a nearby glacier. Next up is another historical location, Skálholt church. From 1056 until 1785, Skálholt was Iceland’s cultural and political centre. Today, the region is famed for a beautiful cathedral, the tomb of bishops, a museum, and a 13th Century tunnel which leads out to an excavation site. From there, you’ll visit the erupting geysers at Geysir geothermal area. There, you’ll see the mighty Strokkur erupt every 5-10 minutes, reaching heights of around 15-20 metres. So remember to bring your camera as a selfie with an erupting geyser is a must in Iceland! The area is also filled with bubbling mud pools and hot springs which you’ll be able to explore to your heart’s desire. Last, but certainly not least, is ‘the golden waterfall’ Gullfoss. It is here where beauty and power meet as freezing water from the glacier Langjökull rushes forth before plummeting into an ancient canyon, creating this two-tiered cascade in the process.  Experience the best of Iceland with this private tour of the Golden Circle.

Experience the South Coast in your own way with this private tour. See some of the most beautiful spots in Iceland such as the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, the black sands of Reynisfjara beach and Sólheimasandur desert, mighty glaciers and picturesque villages. Those looking for flexibility and create their own adventure should book this tour now. The tour starts in the morning when you are picked up from your accommodations or, if you are a cruise ship passenger, from Reykjavík harbour’s cruise ship port. You will then be whisked away to the South’s countryside in a luxurious and comfortable vehicle. The first stop is the beautiful waterfall Seljalandsfoss. This unique cascade falls over a small cave, making it possible to encircle the torrent of water fully. However, you will get drenched if you do this, so make sure you bring waterproof clothing. Next up is another picturesque waterfall, Skógafoss. This one has a more classic shape as it falls 60 metres, creating a great mist as it hits the rocks below. Due to the amount of spray the cascade produces, a rainbow is continuously present on sunny days.  You will then travel through the black desert of Sólheimasandur on your way to the charming village of Vík. This little town is situated right on the edge of Iceland’s most famous beach, Reynisfjara. You’ll have a chance to visit the beach and view the strange, hexagonal cliffs that surround it as well as the giant Reynisdrangar sea stack that rise out of the ocean like terrifying trolls. On your way back, you will drive through the verdant farmlands so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for grazing Icelandic horses and sheep. Two majestic glaciers will look over you this entire journey; the infamous Eyjafjallajökull and the equally spectacular Mýrdalsjökull.  At the end of a great day, you will head back to Reykjavík, arriving early in the evening so you will have plenty of time to explore the downtown area, with its museums, cafés and shops, before dinner. Bring along your favourite people on this private tour and see the waterfalls, glaciers and black sands of the South Coast. Check availability by choosing a date.

Join a sightseeing tour of the beautiful natural attractions in Iceland's northern region. This is the perfect day trip of lava fields, waterfalls, astounding natural beauty and hot springs in the North of Iceland, not to be missed by any nature lover making a short stop during a cruise holiday. The tour starts shortly after your ship docks at Akureyri harbour. You'll board a minibus and head towards the magical Lake Mývatn area, first making a stop at the impressive and historical Goðafoss waterfall. This 12-metre high waterfall may not be tall, but it sure is beautiful and plays a big role in the conversion to Christianity in Iceland's history. You'll continue towards the gorgeous Lake Mývatn, known for its rich flora and fauna. First up, is a stop at the otherworldly Skútustaðagígar Pseudo Craters. Iceland is known for being a land of both ice and fire, and these craters were formed through volcanic activity, through explosions that occurred when flowing hot lava encountered the cold water in the lake. Nearby there are the hauntingly beautiful Dimmuborgir lava fields, sometimes called 'The Entryway to Hell'. This location is full of lava pillars and outlandish rock formations, rich with mythology, folklore, and ghoulish walking trails. You'll also explore the beautiful cave of Grjótagjá, where a crystal blue hot spring can be found on the rift of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Warning, the water is too hot to enter, although a few years ago the heat was stable enough for Jon Snow and Ygritte to warm their bodies in a fiery scene from Game of Thrones. Your final stop by Lake Mývatn is the geothermal area of Námaskarð or simply 'Hverir', meaning 'Hot Springs'. Here you'll find countless boiling mud pools, bubbling hot springs, steaming fumaroles and smelly sulfur pits. Along the way, a number of photographic stops will be made, according to weather and visibility. Finally, you'll be returned to the harbour in Akureyri, in time for the departure of your cruise ship.  Make the most of your cruise ship stop in Akureyri town and join this fun-filled tour now.
