Description

Immerse yourself in the wonders of Iceland's Golden Circle on this 10-hour private tour, with optional stops at local farms and geothermal spas. This sightseeing experience, departing from the Reykjavik port, is ideal for cruise passengers who prefer the convenience of a private guide.

This private tour in Iceland opens with a convenient pickup from the scenic Reykjavik harbor. You can choose between the Skarfabakki cruise terminal or the Midbakki cruise terminal as your starting point.

Led by a friendly and knowledgeable English-speaking guide, this private tour offers the flexibility and personalized attention necessary for an exceptional experience. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or as a couple, enjoy the convenience of a private tour tailored to your interests and schedule.

The Golden Circle is a legendary route in Iceland, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and iconic attractions. It's the most scenic route in the country for those who want to see diverse natural attractions, from waterfalls to geological formations.

First on your itinerary is Thingvellir National Park, Iceland's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thingvellir is historically significant to the locals as the founding location of Althing, the country's first parliament. You can also see and walk through a rift valley in the area between two tectonic plates.

Next to see is the Geysir geothermal area, a valley rich in hot springs and geysers. Its most prominent feature is the Strokkur geyser, which erupts every five to 10 minutes. On average, its dramatic show reaches 66 feet (20 meters) into the air.

The Gullfoss waterfall is your next stop in the itinerary. Gullfoss is perhaps the most famous among Iceland's 10,000 waterfalls. It boasts a wide two-tiered cascade flowing from a cliff of 105 feet (32 meters), which you can see from multiple viewing decks in the area. 

As a bonus stop, you'll visit the Kerid crater, a stunning volcanic crater lake surrounded by vibrant red and green slopes. You'll take a short walk to the crater's rim and admire the contrast between the azure waters and volcanic rocks.

To enhance your experience, consider adding optional stops at local farms and geothermal spas for an additional cost. Choose from attractions such as the Fridheimar farm, Efstidalur dairy farm, the Secret Lagoon, the Blue Lagoon, or the Sky Lagoon. 

Fridheimar and Efstidalur are two farms along the Golden Circle known for their local delicacies. Meanwhile, the three lagoons are excellent spots to experience a relaxing geothermal bath while surrounded by stunning views of nature.

Keep in mind that adding these extra stops may extend the duration of your tour or shorten your time at other locations, so plan accordingly based on your cruise departure time.

Following your time on the Golden Circle, the guide will drop you off at the Reykjavik harbor, marking the end of your day tour.
