Private Tour of Game of Thrones Locations in Iceland

Arrowhead Mountain is part of the show's vision and action scenes. Bran Stark saw it when he learned the history of the White Walkers. It was where Jon Snow and a party of formidable warriors passed on their search for a wight. Hike around Kirkjufell Mountain, soaking in the beauty. It is as jaw-dropping in real life as in the show.

For a film set in "The Real North," glaciers are essential. Explore the Svínafellsjökull Glacier, which inspired the desolate and cold location of Beyond the Wall. Experience the icy expanses, where the stark, frozen beauty served as the backdrop for the wild and untamed lands.

A defensive site used by the First Men in the show, Myrdalsjokull Glacier represented the Fist of the First Men. Here, the Night’s Watch encountered the army of White Walkers and wights. Visit its snowy landscape and the Katla ice cave below it.

Lake Mývatn houses several charming locations, the most famous of which is Grjotagja Cave. Walk into the cave where Jon Snow and Ygritte shared their iconic scene. Remember, bathing is a no-go here, but the romance lingers in the air.

Near the Lake is the Dimmuborgir Lava Field. Wander through the twisted volcanic formations of the site where Mance Rayder's wildling army camped.

Hverir Geothermal Area appeared as a blizzardy area in the series. Although it may smell of sulfur rather than snow, this area provided a fiery contrast to the blizzards.

In addition to being a geological marvel, this park was used several times in the series.

The Oxararfoss Trail perfectly represents what the “Bloody Gate” would look like. It’s narrow, defensible, and leads to the Vale - the Eyrie. The place has a charm - a mix of beauty and intimidation - that’s perfect for the show.

Hengilssvæðið is a volcanic mountain just south of Thingvellir. It served as the set for the fight between the Hound and Brienne of Tarth. The action scene was filmed in seven different spots, all found here.

Þórufoss Waterfall represented a location on the other side of the world—the tropical Essos. This location was used for the scene where Drogon burned a flock of sheep.

Make your adventure even more exciting by visiting the Silfra fissure. You can go snorkeling or diving and see the tectonic plates underwater, a unique activity that we can arrange if you’re up to it.

The show has used the South Coast several times. Some of these locations are already world-famous, like the Skógafoss Waterfall. Its cascading waters were used as a background shot during a scene where Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen kissed. Visiting it, it’s easy to get lost in the beauty of it all.

Another popular location is the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Its unique color and basalt attract tourists from all over the world. On the show, it was used as a set piece for the Eastwatch by the Sea location.

Of course, the show also used less-known historical sights. Þjóðveldisbærinn Stöng, for example, was used to represent Olly’s village, the one that got attacked by wildlings. In real life, it’s a very warm and cozy reconstructed Viking-era farmstead. You’ll feel like you jumped back into history when you visit it.

Fjaðrárgljúfur is the canyon Jon and Daenerys fly through with the dragons. While there are no dragons here, the canyon's dramatic cliffs and winding river make it feel like you are in the series. Some areas are protected to keep the canyon pristine, but you'll still enjoy some of the best views.

You’ll be transported by a private vehicle. Depending on the road conditions and weather, we’ll select a vehicle that is both safe and effective. That can be a Super Jeep, a Mercedes Benz V class, or a Sprinter. A private guide will be with you throughout the whole tour.
