Discover Iceland's wonders on the Golden Circle, an 8-hour tour featuring Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. Our guide, picking you up between 08:30 and 09:00 am, starts the journey at Thingvellir National Park, home to the world's oldest parliament (930 AD) and a rift between continental plates. Next, explore the geothermal park of Geysir, marveling at the Strokkur geyser. Conclude with Gullfoss, a stunning 32-meter waterfall on the Hvitá River. Educate yourself in English or Scandinavian languages. After an exhilarating day, we drop you back in Reykjavik for relaxation.

Skip the crowded coaches and explore Iceland’s south coast in comfort with a private tour from Reykjavik.

With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides. During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself. Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since they can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a location where nature, history, and folklore converge, creating a place of rugged beauty and mysterious charm. Exploring the area through a private tour with a knowledgeable driver is an excellent way to experience its extensive offerings.

Possible stops include the rock formations at Gerðuberg, the black church at Búðir, and the seals at Ytri Tunga beach. The fishing villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar serve as reminders of Iceland's history as a fishing nation. Further out, Djúpalónssandur beach offers a breathtaking view, where a lava flow from the great volcano met the ocean, creating a natural harbour. On the northern side of the peninsula lies the much photographed Kirkjufell, a cone-shaped mountain near the fishing village of Grundarfjörður.

Nestled between ice caps on mountain ridges and some of Iceland's most formidable volcanoes, the road into Þórsmörk nature reserve runs alongside Eyjafjallajökull. After turning off the Ring Road, it passes beautiful waterfalls, usually including a visit to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The great Krossá river meanders through this area with hillsides adorned with natural birch trees and lava rock sculpted by glacial water. After a day of hiking or super-truck-cruising through the Lord-of-the-Rings-like Þórsmörk, you can relax and await the appearance of the Northern Lights in the sky above the glaciers. Alternatively, depending on the time of year, you can bask in the magnificence of this microcosmos illuminated by the midnight sun.
