Description

Discover the wonders of Iceland's natural beauty on this nine-hour private tour to the Golden Circle and Raufarholshellir lava cave. This tour is perfect for those seeking an immersive journey through some of Iceland's most iconic landscapes while traveling in luxury and comfort.

Your day tour in Iceland begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Reykjavik. From there, you'll head out into the Icelandic countryside, ready to explore a blend of geological wonders and breathtaking scenery.

For the next nine hours, you or your group will travel in a luxury vehicle with complimentary bottled water and Wi-Fi. It is designed to provide ample space and privacy for solo travelers, couples, families, or small groups. 

Your chauffeur-guide, a local expert, will not only navigate Iceland's rugged terrain but also share insights and stories about the places you visit. You can ask them questions or ask for assistance anytime.

The first stop on your tour is the Raufarholshellir lava cave, one of Iceland's longest and most impressive lava tubes. Located just 25 miles (41 kilometers) from Reykjavik, this cave was formed during a volcanic eruption over 5,000 years ago. 

Walking through the lava tube offers a rare opportunity to explore Iceland's volcanic underworld. Along the 4,461-foot (1,360-meter) long tunnel, you'll be greeted by an otherworldly scene of vibrant colors and fascinating rock formations. 

Your guide will lead you through the cave, explaining its formation and highlighting the unique features that make this natural wonder special. 

After your caving experience, the tour continues along the Golden Circle, Iceland's most famous sightseeing route. 

The first stop is the Geysir geothermal area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes with boiling water. You'll have time to explore the bubbling hot springs and mud pools that surround this active geothermal site.

Next, you'll visit the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural landmarks. Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls," cascades down two tiers into a rugged canyon. You can take in the stunning views from various vantage points, feeling the mist from the falls as you stand in awe of this natural wonder.

With time permitting, your tour may also include visiting other highlights of the Golden Circle, such as Thingvellir National Park or Kerid crater.

After a thrilling lava caving and sightseeing trip, the chauffeur will drop you off at your accommodation in Reykjavik.
