This tour starts with your choice of two unique experiences: tackle the day in a rugged super jeep for off-road excitement or enjoy a smooth, scenic journey in a comfortable minibus. Both options keep group sizes small, so you’ll have a more personal experience.
From Reykjavik, we set off for Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle, where you’ll encounter some of the country’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders.
The first stop is Þingvellir National Park, just 40 minutes from the city. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a place of deep historical and geological significance. Iceland’s first parliament, Althingi, was founded here in 930 AD, making it a landmark of Icelandic culture. Stroll through the area where tectonic plates meet, creating a dramatic rift you can walk between, surrounded by waterfalls, streams, and pristine lakes.
Next, we visit the famous Geysir geothermal area, where you’ll witness Strokkur, an active hot spring that erupts up to 82 feet (25 meters) high every few minutes. The steam-filled landscape of bubbling pools and hot springs feels otherworldly, adding a unique twist to your day.
Our Golden Circle journey continues to Gullfoss, the “Golden Waterfall,” a stunning cascade that plunges in two tiers over lava rock. This natural marvel is both powerful and picturesque, making it a must-see and perfect photo opportunity.
We’ll take a break at Gullfoss Café, where you can purchase lunch or enjoy a packed meal you’ve brought along. Fuel up for the adventure ahead!
After lunch, the tour shifts gears as we head to Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Once we arrive at the glacier camp, our snowmobile guides will get you suited up and briefed on safety. Then, it’s time for a one-hour snowmobile ride across the vast, icy landscape. This is your chance to explore the glacier’s breathtaking expanse in a thrilling way, combining natural wonder with adrenaline.
After the snowmobile adventure, we’ll regroup at the glacier camp and set off on a scenic drive back to Reykjavik, wrapping up an incredible day filled with Iceland’s top sights and unforgettable experiences.
Pick-up starts at 8:30 a.m. You will be picked up at your selected location in Reykjavik. Please note that picking everyone up can take up to 30 minutes.

Meet on location means travelling to the location of the tour yourself and then meeting our tour guides rather than being picked up and taken to the location.
This is a great question. We ask all participants to be ready from the start of the pickup time indicated. This is because you may well be the first pick up of the day. Please be at your assigned location at the start time that you chose when booking the tour.
Here you should wait for your guide.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
