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 Þingvellir 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.
Last but not least is Geysir geothermal area, home to the geyser that all other geysers are named after. Strokkur is the most active one and erupts every few minutes so you are guaranteed to see an eruption up close.

This tour takes you to South Iceland travelling through lush farmlands with views of powerful volcanoes, glaciers and thundering waterfalls.
First in a series of natural landmarks is Skógafoss waterfall, arguably the country‘s most iconic waterfall and one of South Iceland‘s star attractions. Viking legends tell of a treasure buried in a cave behind the waterfall.
From Skógafoss, you travel east to Sólheimajökull glacier for a 1-hour easy walk in a spellbinding glacier landscape. The combination of expansive views, jagged peaks, cool blue glaciers and wide-open sky provide a steady stream of amazing photographic opportunities.
Heading back to Reykjavik from Sólheimajökull is the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can literally walk behind a curtain of water — certainly a moment you’ll want to capture on camera.
Your South Iceland journey will take you through the country’s lush farmlands flanked by rugged mountains, glaciers (including the infamous Eyjafjallajökull) and volcanoes. Witness the stunning interior on one side and vast Atlantic ocean views on the other.
On this tour of South Iceland, you will experience the powerful beauty of Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Here, the Seljalandsá river, which originates under Eyjafjallajökull glacier, falls. Also see Skógafoss, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland.
Just outside the town of Vík í Mýrdal (or just Vík to the locals) you will visit the soaring basalt rock formation known as Reynisdrangar and the black sand and pebble beach of Reynisfjara.
A written description is nothing compared to the lived experience. Let the guides at Gray Line bring South Iceland to life with stories, facts, science and history.
Starting in the soulful city of Reykjavik, this trip will have you widening your eyes at the best of Iceland's unique natural beauty. Along the way you’ll witness erupting geysers & cascading waterfalls, marvel at volcanoes & glaciers and soak in the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal mineral wonder surrounded by steam and stars. By the time it’s over, you’ll be floating home with a full camera reel and a lovestruck look plastered all over your face.
