Day 1: Grand Golden Circle
The Grand Golden Circle is a compact 8 hour tour that takes you to a series of remarkable and diverse sites in the Southwest of Iceland in a span of only eight hours. If you are only doing one tour in Iceland, this is the one.
In the Geysir geothermal area we get the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur spout steaming water up to 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.
The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7 minutes’ drive from Geysir – located in the glacial river Hvítá. It's elegant and majestic form is like no other, where the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32 meters deep canyon.
Þingvellir National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also a place charged with history, as the site of the national parliament since 930. Þingvellir tells stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. Þingvellir was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its cultural values in 2004.
Additionally, the tour includes visit to the volcanic crater lake Kerið.
Pickup at selected locations in central Reykjavik starts at 08.00 am and can take up to 30 minutes.
Day 2: Southern Iceland
This 10 hour tour takes you to diverse natural pearls along the enchanting south coast of Iceland. The landscape is characterised by strong contrasts, where grown plains meet coarse mountains and fire meets ice.
You will visit the waterfalls of Skógafoss, with its breathtaking 60m drop, and Seljalandsfoss, which you can walk behind and through to the other side.
In Reynisfjara, or Black Sand Beach, you get to experience the raw and alluring force of the North Atlantic and its masterfully shaped basalt column cliffs. The site is equally beautiful as it is dangerous, and should be approached with a healthy level of awe and respect.
Then we take a short walk up to the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull, a sublet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull, where you can witness the dynamics of Icelandic glaciers, their formation, behaviour and rapid melting.
Pickup at selected locations in central Reykjavik starts at 08.00 am and can take up to 30 minutes.
Day 3: Snaefellsnes Peninsula
Experience the range of Icelandic natural beauty in just one area—the wonderfully diverse Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
In this tour, we will discover the charming fishing villages of Grundarfjordur, Arnarstapi and Hellnar, spectacular mountains and volcanic craters such as Kirkjufelland Ljósufjöll, the black beach at Djúpalónssandur, and the majestic glacier Snæfellsjökull.
In this 11 hour tour, we are not in a hurry, we are travelling.
Pickup at selected locations in central Reykjavik starts at 09.00 am and can take up to 30 minutes.
