Itinerary
Reykjavík departure
Leave the city for Iceland’s most celebrated scenic route
The city streets soon give way to mossy lava, open farmland and distant mountain ridges. This transition is part of the pleasure: within minutes of Reykjavík, the landscape opens and the Golden Circle begins to feel like a journey into Iceland’s geological and historical heart.
Þingvellir National Park
Walk between continents at Iceland’s historic assembly site
Follow paths through a landscape shaped by continental drift, where fissures, lava walls and the clear waters of Þingvallavatn reveal Iceland’s geology in striking detail. This is where the country’s early leaders gathered for Alþingi, giving every viewpoint an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and living history.
Geysir geothermal area
Feel the anticipation as Strokkur erupts
Steam drifts across mineral-coloured ground before Strokkur suddenly sends a gleaming column of water high into the air. The famous Great Geysir gave the world its word for this phenomenon, but Strokkur supplies the excitement today with eruptions that transform the geothermal valley every few minutes.
Gullfoss waterfall
A two-tiered cascade of immense beauty and power
See glacial water turn from a wide, serene river into one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls. Gullfoss crashes down two angled drops and disappears into a narrow canyon, creating a magnificent combination of movement, sound and fine silver spray.
Langjökull glacier
Move from green valleys into a brilliant world of ice
Climb towards Iceland’s second-largest ice cap as farmland and highland tracks give way to snow, broad horizons and immense glacier scenery. Whether the experience uses a Super Jeep, snowmobile or monster truck, Langjökull adds exhilarating scale to the classic Golden Circle.
Snowmobiling on Langjökull
Ride across a vast and exhilarating glacier
Accelerate gently into a world of snow and sky on Iceland’s second-largest ice cap. Guided routes, supplied equipment and powerful machines create an exciting contrast to the Golden Circle’s walking stops, with the glacier horizon opening around you.
Return to Reykjavík
A scenic finish after an unforgettable day
Settle back for the return to Reykjavík as farms, lava fields and mountain silhouettes pass the windows. It is time to revisit the day’s contrasts—from tectonic cliffs and erupting water to roaring falls and any added adventure—before arriving back in the capital.
