Premium Golden Circle Tour- Small Bus Experience

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.

Incredible People and Adventures

I can't speak highly enough about Midgard Adventure. I've been in Iceland for a few weeks now, and I can't stop going back to Midgard for more. They know how to take you away from the crowds and into the real Iceland for unbelievable adventures. I feel like they've taken me to multiple different planets! I've gone with the super jeep to Landmannalaugar and Thorsmork, and on the Fat Bikes trip, and loved every minute of all three experiences. But aside from the trips and activities, the people there really make it special. Being greeted with genuine laughter, getting real info from and interaction with locals like Addi, Becca, Eythor, Thorir, Fusi, Bjorg and the rest of the guides and staff, is truly unique. If you want to really experience Iceland, look no further. Midgard is the real deal. Can't wait for my next adventure!
