Beskrivelse

Join a small group of fellow travelers as you journey to the natural marvels of the Golden Circle and the South Coast in this two-day tour. If you're looking to go on a grand adventure, look no further than this fantastic opportunity to see the absolute best of Iceland.

You'll start this excursion in the capital city of Reykjavik. Your guide will pick you and the rest of your group up in a comfortable minibus with Wi-Fi and USB chargers for a pleasant ride out into the countryside.

The drive will offer plenty of beautiful sights while in transit before arriving at your first destination, Thingvellir National Park. This area notably sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates pull apart to create a striking and unique landscape.

You can walk along the rift valley of Thingvellir to take in the scenery. From the valley, you can see the edges of each continent on the cliff faces, standing in a no-man's-land between the two.

Your next stop takes you to the Haukadalur geothermal area, where the mighty Strokkur geyser treats you to a spectacular show. The spout shoots super-heated water high into the sky in an incredible display of power every five to ten minutes.

Next, you'll arrive at Iceland's beloved and iconic Gullfoss waterfall, which translates to 'the Golden Falls.' This roaring cascade of glacial waters from the Langjokull glacier drops into a ravine with such strength that the spray can project multiple rainbows on sunny days.

Your last stop for the day will be at the Kerid Volcanic Crater. This sulfur-stained crater features red walls with streaks of green moss and a deep blue lake at the bottom, making for a colorful treat for the eyes.

Once you've completed the Golden Circle, you'll retire to your accommodation in the village of Hveragerdi. This charming small village is a gateway to the South Coast and is an excellent place to relax and stay the night before continuing your adventures for tomorrow.

After getting a good night's rest, you're ready for day two, where you'll be exploring the majestic South Coast of Iceland. You'll start your day visiting some lovely waterfalls, each with its unique charms.

The first of three is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This magnificent stream flows down a cliff with a wide cavern underneath, letting you walk behind the falls and see the majestic scenery below.

Next is the hidden gem that is the Gljufrabui waterfall. This serene cascade is tucked between a curtain of mossy cliffs, often overlooked by tourists but not by your lucky group.

The last of three is the towering Skogafoss waterfall that mightily falls 200 feet (60 meters), creating a powerful spray. Like Gullfoss, rainbows often curve into the mist when the sun shines bright in the sky.

After enjoying the waterfalls, you'll make a quick stop at the Solheimajokull glacier, which is your chance to see a glacier up close. Easily accessible from the Ring Road, this place is a perfect stopover to take some great pictures before continuing on the trip's final leg.

The Dyrholaey Peninsula is next up, where you'll enjoy fantastic views of the Atlantic ocean from this long stretch of cliffs that curve out of the coast. You may be lucky enough to see Atlantic Puffins on the cliffs in the summer and get close enough to snap a photo.

The gigantic Dyrholaey stone arch is the area's defining feature, with an opening big enough to accommodate passing ships and even, at one point, a daring pilot and his small aircraft.

Finally, you'll cap the day off with a visit to the Reynisfjara black sand beach. Over millennia, the volcanic rock in the area gets worn down by the waves and washed ashore, creating a jet-black coast.

Alien-looking basalt cliffs and columns adorn the beach, giving it an otherworldly vibe. 

Leaving the beach completes your South Coast tour and concludes your adventure. You'll ride back to Reykjavik on the minibus with your group, sure to have plenty of memories to take with you.

You can bring one piece of hand luggage in Reykjavik, and your larger luggage can be stored at the office for a small fee.

This awe-inspiring journey across the Golden Circle and South Coast is a traveler's dream come true and is undoubtedly an adventure you wouldn't want to miss. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Dag 1

Dag 1 - South Coast Waterfalls and Geothermal Relaxation

The day will start with a visit to some of Iceland’s most exciting and beautiful waterfalls.

First is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is notable in that you can walk behind the waters through a cavern underneath the cliff from where it falls. The view gives you a unique and mystical experience unmatched by other waterfalls in Iceland. Next is the Gljufrabui waterfall, a hidden treasure often overlooked by many. Hidden in plain sight behind some mossy cliff faces, tourists can wade in the shallow waters and get close to the falls to enjoy the serene cascades. Lastly, you’ll visit the Skogafoss waterfall, which drops from a staggering height of 200 feet (60 meters). Like Gullfoss, this site is adorned with rainbows on sunny days due to the spray from the flowing waters.

Moving on from the waterfalls, you’ll arrive at the Solheimajokull glacier, giving you a closer look at an actual glacier. Its name translates to ‘Sun’s Home Glacier’ and is conveniently located beside the Ring Road for easy access. Next is the Dyrholaey Peninsula, a long stretch of cliffs extending into the Atlantic Ocean. The cliffs offer an astonishing view of the Atlantic Ocean, and in the summer months, Atlantic Puffins also visit the area, letting you take pictures with the cute birds. Most picturesque in the area is the enormous Dyrholaey stone arch, which is large enough to accommodate passing ships. In 1993, a daredevil pilot once flew a small plane through the arch’s opening.

Finally, you’ll visit the strange and beautiful Reynisfjara black sand beach. The jet-black sands are formed by the roaring Atlantic waves wearing down the volcanic rocks in the area, washing the deep, black fragments ashore. Around the beach, you’ll see otherworldly basalt cliffs and pillars, making the place look almost alien. The waves in Reynisfjara are unpredictable and dangerous, so maintaining a safe distance from the water is essential.

After departing the beach, your group will head to Hveragerði, a town famous for its geothermal energy. Here, at your hotel, you can relax in hot tubs powered by naturally heated waters full of minerals. Don’t forget to bring your own swimsuit for this soothing experience.

Dag 2

Dag 2 - South Coast Tour

After a complimentary breakfast, we’ll kick off the day with a trip to the famous Golden Circle. Our first stop is the charming geothermal park in Hveragerði, where you’ll get to explore bubbling hot springs and experience Iceland’s geothermal energy up close. There you will also find an impressive Eilífur Geysir, which erupts every 15-20 minutes—it’s an awe-inspiring display of nature’s power.

While you’re here, be sure to try hverabrauð, the sweet, steam-baked geothermal bread fresh out of the on-site bakery—it’s a unique treat you won’t find anywhere else. And don’t forget to pop into the greenhouse to see the experimental banana plants growing in this geothermal paradise—an unusual sight in Iceland!

Leaving Hveragerði, we’ll hop onto the famous Golden Circle route. Our next stop is Kerið, a stunning volcanic crater that drops 55 meters deep and spans 270 meters across. The contrast of its rich red earth and lush green moss is pretty striking, especially with the turquoise-blue mineral lake at the bottom. You’ll have a chance to walk down a pathway to the crater floor and get up close to this natural beauty—definitely a great photo op!

Next, we’ll head to the stunning Gullfoss, or the “Golden Waterfall,” one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. On the way, we’ll pass by remote upland farms where the number of Icelandic horses often outnumbers the people. If we’re lucky, you might get the chance to say hello to these friendly horses as they hang out by the fences. Once we reach Gullfoss, you’ll be wowed by its impressive double drop, with the water plunging over 30 meters into a narrow ravine below. The mist and spray create a magical scene, no matter the time of year. It’s one of those places that always seems to take your breath away!

Our next stop is Haukadalur, a geothermal wonderland, home to the famous Geysir and Strokkur. While Geysir itself is mostly dormant now, it’s Strokkur that steals the show, erupting reliably every few minutes, sending water shooting up as high as 30 meters—much higher and more powerful than the Eilífur geyser we saw earlier. As you wander around, you’ll come across bubbling hot pots and streams with vibrant, multi-colored mineral deposits. This iconic spot is often featured in guidebooks, so it’s a perfect place to snap some unforgettable photos. One tip: when Strokkur goes off, make sure you’re upwind so you don’t get splashed!

As our tour winds down, our final stop is the incredible Þingvellir National Park. This place is not just a geological wonder—it’s where you can see the gap between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, a visible reminder of the slow drift of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. But Þingvellir isn’t just about geology; it’s also a place steeped in Icelandic history. Back in 930 AD, the Vikings established the world’s oldest surviving parliament right here. For centuries, this was the site where laws were made, disputes were settled, and Iceland’s national life unfolded. In 1944, Iceland declared its independence from Denmark here too. Today, Þingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not just for its natural beauty but also its deep cultural significance.
