Itinerary

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.

Sightseeing on the Golden Circle

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 25 m (82 ft) high every few minutes. The steam-filled landscape of bubbling pools and hot springs feels otherworldly, adding a unique twist to your day.

We’ll take a break at the Geysir area, where you can purchase lunch or enjoy a packed meal you’ve brought along. Fuel up for the adventure ahead.

Langjökull Glacier and Snowmobiling

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 complete the sightseeing portion of the tour. From there, our Golden Circle journey continues to Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most famous natural landmarks. The waterfall drops in two tiers into a rugged canyon, creating an unforgettable view and a great chance for photos.

Next, we visit Kerið crater lake, the final stop of the day. This volcanic crater is known for its red slopes and the blue water at its center. After exploring the area, we’ll begin the scenic drive back to Reykjavík, ending a day filled with some of Iceland’s top highlights.

Pick up Information

Pick-up starts at 8:30 AM. You will be picked up at your selected location in Reykjavik. Please note that picking everyone up can take up to 30 minutes.

Please Note

FAQ

What is a Super Jeep?

A Super Jeep is a highly modified vehicle equipped with 38" to 50" tires and a robust suspension system, uniquely designed to handle Iceland's diverse terrains and conditions. Dive deeper into the world of Super Jeep Tours.

Are Super Jeeps safe?

Yes, Super Jeeps are designed and modified to handle the challenging terrains of Iceland, ensuring safety during tours. For a secure adventure, check out our Super Jeep Tours.

How many people fit in a Super Jeep?

Our Super Jeeps can fit 14–18 passengers, depending on the tour. This makes it ideal for small group tours and families! For example, the Katla and Crystal Ice Cave tours use 14‑seaters, while larger models like those for our Northern Lights tours can fit up to 18. Either way, you’ll enjoy comfort, great views, and off‑road adventure. Discover group adventures with our Super Jeep Tours.

What does meet on location entail?

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.

How is it best to be ready for a pick-up for a tour with Arctic Adventures?

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.

Have your email and phone number listed with us so we can contact you if we run into any trouble finding you.

Can I drink alcohol before or during Arctic Adventures tours?

Before and during activities on the multi-day tours consumption of alcohol is prohibited. If we suspect that a participant is intoxicated, we will prohibit them from joining the activity.

After the activities of the day are finished, you are welcome to have a drink and relax.

Do you offer any family friendly tours, for younger children?

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. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).

Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our super jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.

Can the itinerary for the tour change?

Your safety is our number one priority! Keeping this in mind, Arctic Adventures reserves the right to adjust the itinerary and/or take different routes depending on conditions. Please read more information in our cancellation policy.

Is there a guide on each Arctic Adventures tour?

Yes, there is a specially trained and certified guide on each of our tours. The only exception to this is for our self-drive tours.

All of our tours are guided in English.

Can the guide advise if I am eligible for rescheduling the tour and/or a refund?

No, our guides are not able to provide information on these matters, but our team will be happy to assist you. We kindly ask that you reach out to our customer care team regarding any questions or concerns.

What type of power outlets are used in Iceland? Do I need to bring an adapter?

The standard in Iceland is 230V and 50Hz and we use F-type power sockets and plugs, so you might have to bring an adaptor if you are visiting from UK, USA, Canada or other countries using a different voltage, Hz or plugs.

How are the tours rated in terms of difficulty?

Our tours are split into four different categories that help participants to understand what to expect from the tour. The categories are Easy, Moderate, Challenging and Demanding. Each tour is rated making it easier to find tours that suit you.

For further information about the difficulty ratings and descriptions.

How does carbon offsetting work?

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.
