From Reykjavik Port: Private Golden Circle With Custom Add-On

Walk between continents, watch a geyser erupt, and discover the landscapes that make Iceland unforgettable. This customizable 10-hour day tour brings together the highlights of the Golden Circle, with visits to Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss, and Kerið Crater.

Travel with a knowledgeable guide and enjoy time to explore, take photographs, and discover the stories behind the scenery. With pickup from Reykjavik Cruise Port at an arranged time and optional experiences along the way, you can shape the day around your interests.

Your Adventure Begins in Reykjavik

Your day begins with pickup from Reykjavik Cruise Port at your agreed time. Settle into a comfortable vehicle and head towards the Golden Circle, where open countryside gives way to rift valleys, steaming springs, and powerful waterfalls.

Þingvellir National Park: Between Continents

Explore Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s history and geology come together in a dramatic landscape.

Walk through a rift valley at the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, surrounded by water-filled ravines, birch trees, and moss-covered rocks. Discover the site of the Alþingi, Iceland’s parliament, established in 930, and hear the stories behind this historic gathering place.

Take time to appreciate the scenery that has also appeared on screen in Game of Thrones.

Geysir: Iceland’s Geothermal Landscape

Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where steam rises from the ground and hot springs bubble across the landscape.

Watch Strokkur send a column of hot water into the air, erupting every few minutes. Explore the surrounding springs and steaming vents as your guide shares the stories behind this active geothermal area.

Keep your camera ready—an eruption is a memorable sight to capture.

Gullfoss: The Power of Falling Water

Next, visit Gullfoss, also known as the “Golden Falls,” where the waters of the Hvítá river plunge into the canyon below.

Follow the viewing paths for different perspectives of the falls and take in their scale and power. On sunny days, look for rainbows in the spray, adding another splash of colour to the landscape.

Kerið Crater: A Colourful Finale

Continue to Kerið Crater, where red volcanic slopes frame a blue crater lake.

Take in the contrast between the water and the surrounding rock, and discover the volcanic history behind this distinctive landscape. It is a memorable stop before continuing your adventure or beginning the journey back to Reykjavik.

Make the Day Your Own

Add another experience to your Golden Circle journey. Enjoy lunch at a tomato farm, stop for locally made ice cream at a dairy farm, or unwind in the warm waters of the Secret Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, or Sky Lagoon.

For a more adventurous addition, consider snorkeling in Silfra or snowmobiling on Langjökull.

All optional experiences are available at an additional cost and are subject to availability. Your chosen additions will shape the day’s schedule.

Return to Reykjavik

After a day of exploring, travel back to Reykjavik for your arranged drop-off. Take with you memories of steaming hot springs, powerful waterfalls, and the landscapes that make the Golden Circle so special.
