Discover some of the best sites in Iceland on the the Golden Circle Tour, in the company of a professional guide who will tell you all you need to know about the area's history, culture and nature.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Golden Circle Route
Get into the history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park, witness the powerful beauty of a multi-tiered waterfall at Gullfoss and walk among bubbling geothermal pools at Geysir Geothermal Area.
2. Thingvellir National Park
Learn about some of the thrilling and somewhat gruesome history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park. It’s significance is so great that it is a designated UNESCO world heritage site. You’ll walk the grounds where Icelandic democracy began and visit sites where Viking-era justice was carried out including the Drowning Pool and the Gallows Rock. Thingvellir is also the place where two tectonic plates are gradually separating creating a gorgeous landscape of steep cliffs and broad fields featuring Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
3. Geysir
The Great Geysir, the first of its name, resides in Haukadalur in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The entire area is bubbling with geothermal activity from steam vents to boiling mud pits and the real stars of the geothermal show, the geysers. All other geysers, the world over, are named for Geysir.
4. Strokkur
While the Great Geysir erupts only occasionally these days, the last time being in 2016, nearby geyser Strokkur erupts regularly delighting onlookers by shooting hot water high into the air every few minutes.
5. Gullfoss Waterfall
The most popular waterfall in Iceland is, without a doubt, Gullfoss (the golden falls). And that is saying quite a lot in a country that is home to thousands of waterfalls. Gullfoss is also considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in Iceland and it is certainly one of the largest. Hearing the roar of the Hvita River as it plunges 32 meters over two tiers into the gorge below is exhilarating. On sunny days, rainbows are abundant in the mist rising from the falls and there are several paths available around the waterfall including one leading down to its bottom so come equipped with your raincoat and have your camera at the ready.

The waterfall and other stops were great. The meet up to start the tour was bad. First driver did not wait for us and luckily there was another tour we were able to join.

Nice tour. There is a stop for lunch at one of the places with a variety of food for sale. Afterwards, gave us an option to be dropped off in downtown Reykjavik and pointed to where a free shuttle back to the cruise port picks up

An excellent adventure with our guide Darren and driver Helgi! The tour pace gave us enough time to explore each stop and take photos of Iceland’s amazing landscapes. Darren entertained us with his stories and was a wealth of information. A great day out of Reykjavik and one of the highlights of our trip.

The tour and tour guide was very good, however the stops are too long. An hour at each stop would have been plenty. Rather than the 1.5 hours.

Tour scheduled for 8 am, pick up at 7:30 am. Ship did not let us off until 7:40. Bus did not wait. Rescheduled for 10 am tour. That bus waited from 9:30-10. Buyer beware. Golden circle well worth it.

Had a great time with Karen and Isaac the driver. Karen was full of information about everything. There was enough time at each stop and the weather was perfect (for Iceland).
