Start the day with our fantastic tour featuring the natural highlights of the Golden Circle, Iceland´s most famous tourist trail. Highlights include the winding path between the continental plates at Thingvellir National Park as well as the world renowned Geysir where Strokkur erupts every 5 to minutes.
After a full day spent exploring those and other highlights of the Golden Circle, you return to the city for a few hours to rest and have dinner.
Feeling re-energized, join our evening northern lights hunting tour. We search for clear skies. We wait patiently for nature´s great display and while we do so you can enjoy complimentary hot-chocolate.

Golden Circle is the ultimate day tour route from Reykjavik. It includes three Iceland's iconic destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Thingvellir National Park holds great importance both as a natural wonder as well as an historical and cultural center.
- Tour stop
Geysir is an iconic location that is a must-see for all visitors to our shores. Strokkur is the main attraction, the geyser which reliably erupts every 5-10 minutes with the water and steam reaching heights of 130ft.
- Tour stop
Gullfoss falls, or the Golden waterfall, is one of our most powerful and stunning waterfalls. Fed by a glacial river to the north, the torrent rages over several drops before reaching the canyon bottom.

Kerið crater is the remnant of a massive volcanic eruption some 6500 years ago. At the bottom of the crater is a lake fed by groundwater. Take the steps to the water´s edge or walk along the top of the crater.
