Private Golden Circle Tour with Faxi Waterfall in Iceland

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.

Your first stop is Þingvellir National Park, one of Iceland’s most important historical and geological sites, where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, visit the site of the world’s oldest parliament (Althingi), enjoy stunning views of lava fields, cliffs, and lakes, and take time for short walks and photos.

Located inside Þingvellir National Park, Öxarárfoss is a beautiful waterfall framed by basalt cliffs, where you can walk up close to the cascade, take photos of the dramatic volcanic landscape, and enjoy a peaceful nature break.

Next, you’ll visit the famous Geysir geothermal area, home to bubbling hot springs and steaming vents, where you can watch the Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes, explore colorful geothermal pools, and learn about Iceland’s volcanic activity.

Continue to the powerful Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, where you can walk along viewing platforms offering different perspectives, feel the mist from the roaring glacier-fed cascade, and capture breathtaking photos of this natural wonder.

Your journey continues to the quieter Faxi Waterfall, located on the Tungufljót River, where you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere away from large tour groups, walk close to the waterfall, and even spot salmon jumping during the summer months, adding a unique and relaxed touch to your Golden Circle experience.

The final stop is the striking Kerid volcanic crater, known for its red volcanic rock and blue lake, where you can walk around the crater rim, descend closer to the lake for photos, and learn about Iceland’s volcanic history.

After exploring Kerið, you’ll relax on the drive back to Reykjavík, where you’ll be dropped off at your original pickup location.
