Itinerary

  • Thingvellir National Park

    Located on the northern shores of Þingvallavatn (Iceland's largest lake), Þingvellir (anglicized as 'thingvellir') is the national pride of Iceland and our first National Park. It is, for one, a key location in Icelandic history as the oldest existing parliament in the world first assembled there in 930 AD. For this reason, Þingvellir has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is, therefore, a protected national park due to its unique geology and natural features. From the viewing area, the Almannagjá canyon between two tectonic plates can be seen, a visual representation of continental drift. As the first stop along the tour, you will have an opportunity to walk through the park and use the restroom if needed.

    1 hour

  • Geysir

    A favorite stop along the Golden Circle is the highly active Geysir Hot Spring Area with boiling mud pits and the lively Strokkur which spouts water 30 meters (100 ft) into the air every few minutes. The area became active more than 1000 years ago and comprises more than a dozen hot spring holes. Although one can only see steam emerging from the surface of Geysir these days, its name was adopted to represent spouting hot springs all over the world. Along the tour, the newly opened Geysir Center offers guests and travelers a chance to use the restroom and to catch some refreshments as well as lunch.

    1 hour

  • Gullfoss Waterfall

    As one of the most popular attractions in all of Iceland, Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in the southwest of the country. The beautiful Hvítá river rushes southward in three steps into a narrow canyon with a breathtaking roar and grandeur. Furthermore, on clear days the magnificent Langjökull glacier, Iceland's second-largest glacier, can be seen in the distance. Guests and Travelers may use the restroom and purchase food and refreshments at this location as well.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    After returning to Reykjavik from the Golden Circle, there will be a 30. min break before heading to the Blue Lagoon.

    30 minutes

  • Sky Lagoon

    The latest geothermal lagoon in Iceland is located in the capital area around Reykjavik. Immerse yourself in warmth at our oceanside geothermal lagoon, as the dramatic North Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you. Feel yourself relax and unwind as you take in the dazzling sunsets and moody skies and, if you're lucky, the dancing Northern Lights will put on a stunning show. Then, take your relaxation deeper with the Skjól Ritual, a unique experience.

Heaven made in Iceland

Published on Jan, 2025

Too beautiful for words. Despite the weather I loved the whole experience. The waterfalls were breathtaking and the sky lagoon was heaven. Definitely coming here again. 4 days is not enough

Helgi & Darren made the trip!!

Published on Dec, 2024

We started the day with a pick up from outside our accommodation, it was on time and vocal upon arriving so we knew what bus to take. We arrived at the bus station to move across to another bus which was no issue. Here we met Helgi & Darren, they were both very happy to be there, happy to help and full of beans, even on the cold dark morning. Helgi was an amazing bus driver with absolutely no issues at all during the day he was also very happy to give us extra facts that Darren wasn’t aware of. Darren was a fountain of knowledge he knew so much about the locations we visited & Iceland itself. We sat at the front of the bus which potentially made the experience that much better, which meant we could have a conversation & laugh with both Darren & Helgi. After the golden circle tour was over we headed back to the bus station to pick up another bus to the Sky lagoon. This was a quick transfer over to the lagoon. It was beautiful and the 7 step ritual was amazing. The only down side to this is we only had 2 hours at the lagoon and I believe we could have spent longer here. With getting ready, then showered and back out it felt like we only got an hour in the lagoon itself. I would definitely come back and go on this tour again, especially if they are our tour guides!!

Tour Operator saved the day.

Published on Dec, 2024

There was a mix up with the pick up location on the day we booked, consequently we missed the bus. I contacted the tour operator, Reykjavik Sightseeing, and they could not be more helpful. They ensured we were able to participate with the full itinerary and experience the complete tour, which was absolutely incredible. The Geysir’s were amazing, Gullfoss waterfall absolutely stunning, and the sky lagoon was fantastic, even better that we had views of the erupting volcano!! Our tour guide, Michael was very informative and knowledgeable about Iceland which made the transfers between landmarks fun and educational.

Seeing the natural wonders of Iceland with a knowledgeable guide was awesome! Sky Lagoon is a must experience!

Great experience!

Published on Jun, 2024

Darren and driver Paulo made an awesome trip even better. Darren as a tour guide was extreemly knowlegable and entertaining - he probably talked for 4-5 hours and it was never boring. Paulo was one of the best bus drivers I have seen. He threaded that bus though narrow bridges and busy parking lots like a pro!
