Itinerary

Golden Circle Route

3 hours

Experience one of Iceland’s most iconic routes—the Golden Circle—with approximately 3 to 3.5 hours of total driving time. The journey includes about 1.5 hours to reach Gullfoss Waterfall, followed by a scenic return drive along a different route, offering new landscapes and perspectives. This well-paced loop showcases Iceland’s diverse terrain while keeping travel time efficient and comfortable.
Thingvellir National Park

45 min Admission included

As part of your private tour, you’ll enjoy complete flexibility in how much time you spend exploring Thingvellir National Park. Walk between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia, take in sweeping views of volcanic landscapes, and learn about the site where Iceland’s ancient parliament was founded over 1,000 years ago—all at your own pace.
Gullfoss Falls

45 min

One of Iceland’s most iconic and awe-inspiring natural wonders, Gullfoss is a two-tiered waterfall that plunges dramatically into a rugged canyon. Fed by the glacier Langjökull, the roaring waters create a powerful spectacle that can be felt as much as seen. On clear days, rainbows often dance in the mist, adding to the magic of this unforgettable stop on the Golden Circle route.
Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin

Passing by

You can choose to relax with a soak at the Secret Lagoon, a natural geothermal pool hidden in the Icelandic countryside. It’s a peaceful and authentic way for you to experience Iceland’s hot spring culture—but please note there is an additional entrance fee. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit and towel if you decide to enjoy this warm, soothing break during your tour.
Faxi (Vatnsleysufoss) Waterfall

Passing by

You have the option to visit Faxi Waterfall, a charming and less-crowded cascade located just off the Golden Circle route. This peaceful spot offers beautiful scenery and great photo opportunities. Please note, this stop is optional, allowing you to customize your tour experience.
Strokkur

45 min

Experience the thrilling power of Strokkur, one of Iceland’s most active geysers, erupting every 5 to 10 minutes. Watch as boiling water shoots up to 20–30 meters (65–100 feet) into the air, surrounded by steaming geothermal vents and bubbling hot springs. It’s a must-see natural spectacle on the Golden Circle route that never fails to amaze visitors of all ages.
