From Reykjavik: Private Golden Circle Tour with 5+ stops

Thingvellir National Park invites you to explore the centre of Iceland’s natural and historical treasures and it’s the first stop of our Private Golden Circle Tour. Thingvellir is a location of deep geological significance, a UNESCO World history Site, and a representation of Iceland’s cultural history. It is tucked away within the stunning tectonic rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

You’ll be met with a panoramic view of craggy cliffs, clear lakes, and expansive meadows when you arrive, all of which are framed by the jagged edges of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This geological wonder offers visitors the chance to view the constantly changing forces shaping our world while standing in between continents.

However, Thingvellir is much more than a simple geological wonderland. It is of great historical significance. Early Icelanders gathered here in the open air assembly grounds to debate legislation, settle conflicts, and create the identity of the country. You can feel the sense of history and cultural significance that permeates the park’s surroundings as you stroll around the Almannagjá Gorge and Oxararfoss waterfall, the locations of these historic gatherings.

Thingvellir also serves as a reminder of the natural environment of Iceland’s fragility and beauty. The park is a haven for nature lovers and photographers thanks to its bright flora, clear springs, and variety of fauna. For those who are feeling brave, the Silfra Fissure, a glacial meltwater-filled underwater cleft, gives the chance to swim or dive between tectonic plates and see a world of unmatched underwater clarity.

We invite you to discover the magic of Brarfoss, a hidden jewel tucked away in the Icelandic wilderness, as the second stop of our exclusive Golden Circle tour. Brárfoss, often known as “The Blue Waterfall,” is a monument to how secretive and magnificent nature can be.

You’ll need to take a brief but fascinating walk through a pristine environment to get to Brarfoss, where mossy lava fields and peaceful riverbanks create an ethereal ambiance. With each step you go through this unspoiled terrain, your excitement for finding a hidden treasure increases.

Your adventure has yielded a prize that is nothing short of remarkable. You are greeted to Brarfoss by waterfalls of breathtakingly vivid blue water that are surrounded by stunning basalt rock formations and rich vegetation. The water’s distinctive colour is the consequence of glacial meltwater passing through the nearby rocks, which produces an unreal, almost ethereal shade of blue that looks like it belongs in a dream.

Brarfoss’s relative obscurity is one of its most alluring features. You can enjoy the peace and sense of having found a hidden paradise here, far from the hordes that frequently congregate at more popular waterfalls. It’s the perfect place for peaceful reflection or to simply take in nature’s artistic splendour because of the atmosphere of tranquilly.

With our Private Golden Circle Tour, you get the opportunity to see Brárfoss in the most private and intimate way possible. You will learn more about this undiscovered jewel from our instructed guides as they share their insights on the site’s geological and ecological features.

The third stop on your tour, the captivating Geysir Geothermal Area, promises to be nothing short of magnificent as you set off on our Private Golden Circle Tour. This location enables you to see the unbridled powers of nature at work as geysers erupt, steam billows, and hot springs bubble in a mesmerising exhibition of the planet’s molten core.

One of the most well-known geysers in the world, Geysir, is located at the centre of this geothermal wonderland. Strokkur, a nearby geyser that shoots blasts of scorching water into the air every few minutes, has taken the stage in place of Geysir, which now erupts less frequently. The suspense and thrill of witnessing this natural phenomenon, which provides a look into the enormous power hidden beneath the Earth’s surface, never fade.

You have the freedom to soak in the sights and sounds of this geothermal area on our Private Golden Circle Tour at your own leisure, whether you’re entranced by the Strokkur eruptions, mesmerised by the vibrant colours of the surrounding landscape, or fascinated by the geological forces at work. You can learn more about this natural beauty by listening to the knowledge of our knowledgeable guides, who will be there to impart it.

Our Private Golden Circle Tour’s fourth stop offers you to witness the magnificent Gullfoss, also known as “The Golden Falls,” which is awe-inspiring and frequently called “The Golden Falls.” Gullfoss, a tribute to Iceland’s dramatic and untamed beauty, lies tucked away in the middle of the country’s natural beauties.

You can hear the distant sound of cascading water as you get closer to Gullfoss, hinting at the magnificence that awaits. The Hvtá River plunges into a confined, steep canyon as you get closer, and the scene is nothing short of magnificent. Here, the river thunderously plunges twice, causing a vaporous mist to dance in the air and a deafening water symphony to reverberate throughout the body.

Whether you want to take the ideal photo, enjoy the sights and sounds of Gullfoss, or explore the nearby trails that provide various vantage points, our Private Golden Circle Tour enables you to experience Gullfoss in a way that meets your tastes. Your understanding of Gullfoss and its significance in Icelandic lore will be improved by the geological background and cultural significance revealed by our knowledgeable guides.

The intriguing Kerid Crater, a geological marvel that invites you to enter the core of Iceland’s volcanic past, is the fifth stop on our Private Golden Circle Tour. Kerid, an area where nature’s handiwork is on full show and offers a distinctive blend of brilliant colours and spectacular sceneries, lies tucked away in the rough Icelandic terrain.

You will notice Kerid’s spectacular red and green slopes as you get closer because they sharply contrast with the deep azure waters that fill its bowl-shaped basin. The interaction between the volcanic rock, minerals, and the calm water produced this extraordinary colour palette, which gave rise to a scene that is so beautiful that it nearly looks weird.

You can get a close-up look at this natural wonder when you explore Kerid on our exclusive Golden Circle tour. The chance to enter the crater itself is available, where a tranquil lake reflects the vivid hues of the surrounding hills. The serene atmosphere contrasts with the crater’s turbulent beginnings. The calming waters provide a soothing haven.

You will have the chance to explore famous bakeries in Hverageri.
