Description

Embark on a captivating journey through Iceland's Golden Circle sightseeing route on a private tour, where you'll discover some of the best sights in Iceland. This enchanting excursion is perfect for travelers who want to explore the Golden Circle attractions, enjoy a tasty Icelandic lunch, and relax in hot springs.

The adventure begins in Reykjavik, where your expert local guide will collect you. This trip is a private tour, meaning it'll be just your group exploring the sights. You can enjoy a more personalized day that caters to your preferences and won't need to wait for other travelers.

The expedition begins with a visit to the iconic Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you'll stand where ancient Vikings once gathered for assemblies, surrounded by dramatic rift valleys and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Thingvallavatn.

Thingvellir National Park is also where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates separate a little more each year. Here, you can learn about the powerful geological forces that shape Iceland.

Next, you'll venture onwards to the geothermal area of Geysir. Here, you'll encounter the Strokkur geyser, erupting with steaming water at regular intervals, reaching impressive heights against the backdrop of bubbling mud pools and colorful mineral deposits.

Continuing along the Golden Circle sightseeing route, your journey leads you to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. Marvel at the thundering cascade as it plunges into the rugged canyon below, casting rainbows in the mist. You may even feel some of its spray on your face.

When ready, your driver-guide will take you for a delicious Icelandic lunch at a local restaurant. You can refuel with tasty traditional food from the local area. Please note that lunch is not included in the price of the tour.

Once you're full and satisfied, your journey continues with a visit to the tranquil Hvammsvik hot springs. Here, you can immerse yourself in the soothing geothermal waters.

Relaxing in hot springs is a popular Icelandic pastime, and you'll quickly understand why. Feel any tension lift as you chat with your friends or family in the warm waters.

After a calming soak, you'll get back in the vehicle and start the journey back to Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures or have a fun evening in the city.

On this private excursion, discover the beauty of the Golden Circle sightseeing route, enjoy a traditional Icelandic lunch, and soak in geothermal springs. Check availability now by choosing a date.
