Private 10.5-Hour Golden Circle and South Coast Combination Tour with Photos

Explore Iceland's Golden Circle and South Coast on this private 10.5-hour tour featuring a professional guide, roundtrip transportation, and professional photos. If you want to maximize your time in the country while seeing the most iconic attractions, this itinerary is for you.

Your day begins with hassle-free pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik, where you'll meet your professional, licensed driver and guide. Alternatively, Keflavik International Airport and Reykjavik Cruise Terminal can also be your starting point.

You'll enjoy onboard amenities such as Wi-Fi, bottled water, snacks, and hot tea while traveling in a private, comfortable van for the entire journey. The tour transportation accommodates up to seven guests, so it's perfect for small groups, families, couples, and even solo travelers.

What makes this excursion special is how it combines two of the most exciting sightseeing regions in Iceland. Within a span of 10 to 11 hours, you'll see waterfalls, hot springs, glaciers, black sand beaches, Icelandic horses, and more.

Your first destination is Thingvellir National Park in the Golden Circle. Here, you can walk between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates through the dramatic Almannagja gorge and admire the beauty of Thingvallavatn, Iceland's largest natural lake. 

Next, head to the Geysir geothermal area, where Strokkur geyser erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, launching boiling water high into the sky. The valley allows you to closely encounter Icelandic nature's raw power through steaming vents and bubbling mud pots.

Conclude your Golden Circle exploration at the Gullfoss waterfall. The "Golden Falls" captivates with its two-tiered cascade, plunging into a rugged canyon. Feel the cool mist and hear the thunderous roar of water as your guide shares the fascinating history of this iconic site.

Other stops on the Golden Circle may include the Kerid crater, Bru Horsefarm, and the Fridheimar Tomato Farm for lunch or snacks.

A back-to-back visit to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skogafoss waterfall will open your South Coast experience. Seljalandsfoss allows you to walk behind its water curtain for a unique perspective, while Skogafoss lets you climb to its top cliff, often kissed by rainbows.

A unique feature of your day is a short walk to the Solheimajokull glacier. You'll have an excellent time seeing and photographing its frozen landscapes with thick layers of ice, a lagoon, and surrounding mountains. 

The tour concludes at Reynisfjara black sand beach for the most unforgettable coastal experience. Reynisfjara's striking basalt columns and eerie Reynisdrangar sea stacks framing the roaring Atlantic waves are images you'll never forget.

Throughout the tour, your guide will capture photos of your group amidst Iceland's stunning backdrops, allowing you to relive this incredible journey long after it ends. 

At the end of the day, your guide will drive you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
