Woweee! Such an amazing day filled with lots of different things to see! The guide Howsa was absolutely fantastic and so so knowledgeable! He made the journey exciting and we didn't feel like the bus journey was boring due to his uplifting attitude and positivity! He was so passionate about Iceland and knew so much interesting information. Howsa's English was impeccable and his choice of words left us feeling like we were listening to an audio book! Would recommend this trip to anyone that appreciates nature and outstanding views! So glad I found this trip after researching must see places in Iceland as it topped off our trip and made it even more incredible!"

My husband and I had an amazing day. I can highly recommend this tour to everyone who comes to visit Iceland. Travelling by mini bus is much more convenient. We were picked up in time from the hotel we agreed on as we stayed at a different place. One of the highlights of the tour was our amazing guide Fannar. He was very informative, knowledgeable , fun and a very good driver. He brought us home safely. If you book this tour you will definitely get value for your money.

Iceland: South Shore Adventure

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

This 10-hour guided tour is ideal for nature lovers of all kinds. Book this trip and travel along the South Coast of Iceland, one of the country’s most scenic regions, as far as Vik, a charming village surrounded by beautiful bird cliffs. In addition to its natural landmarks, southern Iceland is known for its plains that stretch to the horizon. Because of that, and suitable weather conditions, this area is the bread basket of Iceland. Travel to the famous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, the latter of which has been featured in movies like 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'. Walk behind the cascading water in Seljalandsfoss (please don't forget to carry your raincoat). Get the chance to explore the world-famous black-sand beach of Reynisfjara. Also see its unique rock formations and columnar basalt. This is one of the most spectacular beaches in Iceland. However, we request our guests not to get too close to the ocean and follow the guidelines. Your last destination of the day is the Sólheimajokull Glacier, where you can walk up to a small lake that has formed in front of the retreating glacier. We will head back to Reykjavik after the tour ends and drop you off at your accommodation.

Golden Circle Classic and Fontana Geothermal Baths

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Join us on our all-time best-selling tour and discover Iceland’s most iconic and historical attractions. It’s a classic for a reason. The Golden Circle combines history, culture and extraordinary nature and makes for an unforgettable experience. The tour begins with an exploration of Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia split and drift apart, which literally enables you to be in two continents at once. You will see Iceland’s largest natural lake and learn the incredible story of how Iceland’s first parliament was formed. Next, we move on to the amazing Gullfoss waterfall where you can take a short walk down a pathway and get close enough to feel the mist of glacial water on your skin. Gullfoss is a powerful waterfall with a powerful history, which you will get to learn more about from an expert guide. Afterwards, we'll visit is Geysir geothermal area, home to the geyser that all other geysers are named after. Check out the Great Geysir, which is often called the "mother of all geysers". Next to it is Strokkur, which is the most active geyser and erupts every few minutes so you are guaranteed to see an eruption up close. Finally, we move to Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths which is located in the center of the Golden Circle. These natural steam baths of Lake Laugarvatn have known to have healing powers and have been attracting visitors since 1929. Rejuvenate yourself in the steam room cabins, sauna, outdoor mineral baths (that have various depths, sizes and temperatures) or take a dip in the Lake itself for a relaxing end of an exciting day. You've truly experienced the best of Iceland on this tour.

Premium Golden Circle Tour- Small Bus Experience

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

The Golden Circle includes the greatest tourist attractions in Iceland, covering about 300 km looping from Reykjavík into central Iceland and back. Thingvellir landmark connects all the major events in the founding of the Icelandic commonwealth. It’s also considered the best place on earth to view the North Atlantic divergent ridge. Friðheimar farm and greenhouse will welcome you and introduce you to the Icelandic horse and locally grown tomatoes. Lunch (at your own expense) will be held in the greenhouse where you will have the possibility to purchase local products on the menu after a visit of the stables. Kerið is a striking crater-lake filled with milky blue-green water amid stark black and deep red slopes. Geologists now believe it to be a collapsed magma chamber at the end of a volcanic eruption that occurred more than 6,000 years ago. Another amazing stop will be done at Gullfoss Waterfall. Its impressive shape will take your breath away! Of course, we are always prepared for an extra stop or photo ops along the way. And if we’re lucky, we’ll get to pull over to feed any Icelandic horses at the side of the road. Group size: max. 18 guests, providing a more intimate experience, more flexibility, more free time and more spontaneous encounters than travelling in big groups.
