Your private guide will pick you up directly from your hotel or designated pickup point in Reykjavík in a comfortable private vehicle. After a short introduction, you’ll begin your journey into Iceland’s famous Golden Circle.

The first stop is Þingvellir National Park, one of Iceland’s most important historical and geological landmarks. Here, you will walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates while learning about the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Althingi. The park also offers impressive views of lava fields, cliffs, and surrounding lakes, with time for short walks and photos.

Located within Þingvellir National Park, Öxarárfoss is a picturesque waterfall surrounded by basalt rock formations. You will have time to walk close to the waterfall, take photos of the dramatic volcanic landscape, and enjoy a peaceful moment in nature.

Next, visit the famous Geysir geothermal area, where the earth comes alive with steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and colorful geothermal pools. The highlight is Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, offering an exciting and unforgettable display of Iceland’s geothermal power.

The tour continues to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful and iconic waterfalls. You will explore well-maintained viewing platforms that offer different perspectives of the glacier-fed cascade, feel the refreshing mist, and capture stunning photos of this natural wonder.

After Gullfoss, enjoy a quieter stop at Faxi Waterfall, located on the Tungufljót River. This wide and peaceful waterfall provides a relaxed atmosphere away from large crowds, allowing you to walk close to the water and, during summer months, spot salmon jumping upstream.

Your final sightseeing stop is Kerið volcanic crater, known for its striking red volcanic rock and vivid blue lake. You will have time to walk around the crater rim or descend closer to the water while learning about Iceland’s volcanic history. Duration is about 1 hour.

After a full day of exploration, sit back and relax on the scenic drive back to Reykjavík, where you will be dropped off at your original pickup location, concluding your private Golden Circle tour.
