Day 1 – Golden Circle & Þingvellir National Park

Begin your adventure along the famous Gull-hringurinn, visiting Þingvellir National Park, where tectonic plates meet and Iceland’s history comes to life. Continue to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, the erupting hot springs of Geysir, and the striking blue cascades of Brúarárfoss before heading to the South Coast for the night.

TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by Austin based19

I truly had an amazing time on this trip. It is a long one, so younger kids may have a harder time on this trip. For adults I can only highly suggest this trip. My group and I have been talking about it daily since it feels like. Waterproof clothes and shoes. PROOF not resistant.

I had the pleasure of joining the Golden Circle tour with Ritchie as our guide, and he was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, he kept the whole group engaged with his humor, deep knowledge, and warm personality. What really stood out was how he combined local insights with fun stories and personal experiences, making the history and culture of Iceland come alive. He even shared some great Icelandic music along the way, which gave the tour an authentic and personal touch. Ritchie was also very organized and attentive, making sure that everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of throughout the day. You could tell he genuinely cared about the group’s experience. This was by far one of the best guided tours I’ve been on, and Ritchie made the Golden Circle unforgettable. Highly recommend him if you get the chance!

I used this tour operator several times during my recent trip to Iceland—including the Flybus service, a transfer to Þingvellir, and the Silfra snorkeling tour—and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Their services were reliable, well-organized, and perfectly timed. Most of all, their customer service was outstanding: friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Iceland!

During our trip round the Golden Circle, including the Geysers and Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, we had a wonderful tour experience offered by our driver Dori, a very knowlegable person on the local area and living experience in Iceland. We had a great trip with him. Well worth the time and money.

We had a wonderful experience - we booked two of their tours, Golden Circle Direct and South Coast Wonders + Glacier Hiking. Our guides were so pleasant; I wish I could remember their names (sorry) and our hiking guide Sylvia was also terrific! They were really accommodating, very knowledgable and professional and clearly very passionate about what they do - the glacier hiking felt very safe and our guide Sylvia was very helpful to my fear of heights, walking me through what we would be doing and checking I was okay throughout. Overall, couldn’t recommend enough - thanks for such a wonderful experience in Iceland.
