PRIVATE Golden Circle Tour

Private Golden Circle Tour

The Golden Circle Private Tour takes you on a personalized journey to some of Iceland's most important sites, through the heart of Iceland's Southern Region.

Thingvellir - The birthplace of parliament

Thingvellir National Park is a landmark of great geological, historical, and cultural significance. The UNESCO-designated world heritage site is where Iceland's parliament, Althingi, was founded in 930 AD and is also where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates slowly drift apart. You will walk the grounds where the nation's leaders would meet to decide on the laws of the land and where criminals were brought to justice.

Geysir - The godfather of geysers

Home of the namesake of all geysers “The Great Geysir” hot spring, this area is dotted with bubbling puddles, whistling steam vents, and colorful algae deposits, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a bubbling hot spring. Although Great Geysir is currently dormant, the nearby Strokkur geyser puts on quite the show every few minutes blasting boiling water high up into the air.

Gullfoss - The Golden Falls

Continuing along an area of breathtaking mountains and valleys, you arrive at the all-powerful Gullfoss waterfall on the Hvíta River. Once there, you can get up close and personal with the two-tiered waterfall by walking along the many paths around the cascading water.

Geothermal Wonders

One of the highlights of the Golden Circle is the geothermal wonders that you’ll encounter along the way. At Geysir geothermal area, you can see bubbling hot springs and erupting geysers, including the famous Strokkur geyser.

And at Laugarvatn Fontana, you can soak in a natural pool and enjoy the traditional steam rooms.
