Itinerary

This is a typical itinerary for Golden Circle Classic Day Trip From Reykjavik -

Stop At: Thingvellir National Park, Thingvellir, South Region

Learn about some of the thrilling and somewhat gruesome history of Iceland at Thingvellir National Park. Its significance is so great that it is a designated UNESCO world heritage site. You will walk the grounds where Icelandic democracy began and visit sites where Viking-era justice was carried out including the Drowning Pool and the Gallows Rock. Thingvellir is also the place where two tectonic plates are gradually separating creating a gorgeous landscape of steep cliffs and broad fields featuring Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Geysir Hot Springs, Geysir, South Region

The Great Geysir, the first of its name, resides in Haukadalur in the Geysir Geothermal Area. The entire area is bubbling with geothermal activity from steam vents to boiling mud pits and the real stars of the geothermal show, the geysers. 

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Strokkur, Geysir, South Region

While the Great Geysir erupts only occasionally these days, the last time being in 2016, nearby geyser Strokkur erupts regularly delighting onlookers by shooting hot water high into the air every few minutes.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Gullfoss, Blaskogabyggd, South Region

The most popular waterfall in Iceland is, without a doubt, Gullfoss (the golden falls). Hearing the roar of the Hvita River as it plunges 32 meters over two tiers into the gorge below is exhilarating. On sunny days, rainbows are abundant in the mist rising from the falls and there are several paths available around the waterfall including one leading down to its bottom so come equipped with your raincoat and have your camera at the ready.

Duration: 1 hour

    We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. Driver Marek, was very helpful with my husband's wheelchair, and our guide Darren was very knowledgeable. The reason I have not rated this 5 stars is the fact that the website said this was an accessible excursion, so we expected an accessible bus, which it wasn't. My husband had to crawl up the steps of at every stop. We made the most of it though, and had a good day.

    Excellent day out. Tour guide, Darren, made everyone on the coach welcome, had a wealth of local knowledge and made the day interesting. Visited the national park, geo thermal geysers and the waterfalls. Well worth the visit.

    Brilliant trip from start to finish. Very informative guide lots of information shared. Darren was our guide n valli was our driver both contributed to our enjoyment of the day.

  • 04-Feb-2020

    Such a well organised and well run day! Our guide was super and let us know all there was to know - but let us do our thing once we arrived at each place. The first stop was my favourite - sunrise in the Þingvellir National Park, so magical! :—)
    Some coach day tours can be very tedious and a long day but this was anything but. Definitely recommend!

  • 03-Feb-2020

    Very good trip and guide was lovely 😊 knowledge was brilliant. As was travelling solo I was really looked after and never felt alone or bothered being in my own as was looked after very well and the guide brought us all together.

  • 20-Jan-2020

    It showed us the highlights ,Geysir geothermal area, the magnificent waterfalls, Gullfoss, and Pingvellir National Park where the Prime Minister of Iceland has a summer home.
    Our guide pointed out many interesting site and told us a lot about Iceland.

    Driver and Guide were both excellent. Signing up was easy. There was a bit of confusion about which bus we were supposed to get on, but they got everything sorted out quickly and we left on time. The sights were incredible. The falls in the winter are truly beautiful compared to the summer. You can't get as close to them as you can in the summer, but you wouldn't want to. Don't forget to get the lamb stew for lunch at the falls. It's a wonder in itself. If you go in the winter be sure to over dress. The weather can switch from rain to snow to clear skies within minutes. Be prepared and you'll have a great time.
