- Golden Circle Route - 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.
- 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.
- Geysir - 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.
- Gullfoss Waterfall - 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.
- Kerid Crater - 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.
- Hveragerdi - Short refreshment break
- Reykjavik - We return to Reykjavík for a few hours between the sightseeing tour of the southern coastline and pickup for your northern lights hunting tour. You have time to freshen up and grab dinner.

Sunny, is the Sun. - So, despite not having experienced the northern lights due to inactivity of the sky. Viator were accommodating in rebooking several times to attempt it. We are awaiting a refund for this particular segment of the tour but again, super impressed with their service regardless. Now, the Golden Circle tour. Wow, what an experience. Our guides were Sunny and Paco and what a duo they were. Paco keeping us safe in adverse weathers that changed every five minutes and Sunny, wow where to start… she puts the sun in Iceland without actually having seen any sun. She was informative, considerate, professional and a very intelligent humorous lady. From start to finish she was sensational. We laughed and learned from start to finish. Cannot recommend this tour enough it was brilliant. All sections of the tour were exceptional and the journey too and from was a pleasant experience in itself. Well done team.

Had to leave early because other people were cold and tired - The golden circle tour was absolutely beautiful and loved our tour guide. Our northern lights tour got rescheduled for the next day with a different group due to weather conditions. On the northern lights tour we were told at both places we stopped to see the northern lights a set time to be back on the bus. At both locations, about 15 minutes before we had to be back on the bus the tour guide told us that people were cold and tired and that we were heading back early. We felt it was unfair to us that we had to head back early and got less time at these locations because other people were cold and tired when we paid just as much for this tour as anyone else. Very disappointed.
