Itinerary

Day 1

Reykjavik pick up

This morning you’ll be picked up in Reykjavik by your designated driver-guide who will take you on your multiday adventure.

Þingvellir national park

Our first stop on the iconic Golden Circle route is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. As you enter, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking Almannagjá gorge, offering a glimpse into the Earth's geological history. Here, along the European American fault line, visible evidence of plate tectonics reveals itself, showcasing the ongoing separation of the two continents and the formation of Iceland, the world's youngest country.

Geysir geothermal area

Continuing our journey, we arrive at Geysir, lending its name to the phenomenon of spouting hot springs. Prepare to be mesmerized by the mighty Strokkur geyser, which erupts with remarkable regularity, offering an awe-inspiring display every few minutes. Surrounding Strokkur are an array of geothermal features, including fumaroles, mud pools, and smaller geysers, along with the impressive but dormant Geysir itself. 

Gullfoss waterfalls

Our journey through the Golden Circle leads us to Gullfoss, Iceland's breathtaking Golden Waterfall. Here, the Langjökull glacier's meltwater crashes into the Hvítá river gorge, creating a dramatic display of power and beauty. With its distinct curves and golden hues, Gullfoss mesmerizes visitors, leaving them in awe of nature's grandeur. Feel the spray on your face and hear the roar of the water as rainbows dance in the mist. Gullfoss is a testament to Iceland's raw beauty and a reminder of nature's strength.

Optional Snowmobiling on Langjökull Glacier

You will first gear up with an insulated all-in-one jumpsuit, giant mittens and safety helmet. You will then receive instructions for handling these powerful machines. Led by the experienced mountain guide, the snowmobiles shoot off in single file for an hour of often high-speed driving along the carefully chosen route over the glacier.


Day 2

Seljalandsfoss waterfall

Begin your day with a visit to one of Iceland’s most beloved waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss. Experience the thrill of walking behind the thundering cascade, but exercise caution as the trails can be narrow and slippery, especially in winter. Marvel at the illuminated beauty of the falls, enchanting visitors year-round with its magical allure.

Skógafoss waterfall

Next, behold the majesty of Skógafoss, one of Iceland's largest waterfalls, fed by the glaciers of Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. Witness mesmerizing rainbows on sunny days and feel the spray as you get up close to this natural wonder. Explore the Skógafoss area, a starting point for adventurous hikers heading to Fimmvörðuháls and Þórsmörk.

Reynisfjara black sand beach

Continue your journey with an exhilarating drive to Iceland's volcanic black sand beach, Reynisfjara. Revel in panoramic views, with the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the shore on one side and glaciers and volcanoes dominating the horizon on the other. Experience the dramatic contrasts of Iceland's landscape as you soak in the raw beauty of its southern coast.

Chase the Northern Lights

As night falls, keep your eyes on the sky - you may find yourself standing beneath the shimmering Northern Lights, a truly unforgettable sight.


Day 3

Reykjavik drop off

This morning we will depart from the serene beauty of the Southcoast and begin our journey back to Reykjavik. The scenic drive will allow us to reflect on the breathtaking views and experiences we've had in the heart of Icelandic nature.
