Iceland's most popular natural wonders in one day. The Golden Circle Tour is in the morning, which allows for a 3 to 6 hour interval before heading off on the Northern Lights tour. That interval is the perfect opportunity to grab dinner or to go on our Cheers to Reykjavík tour in Reykjavík.

About the tour

The Golden Circle Tour is where we visit the country´s three iconic natural treasures: Þingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian plates have been pulling apart; the erupting geyser that sends water and steam spouting skywards; and the spectacular Gullfoss Waterfall where a glacial river thunders 32 meters into a canyon. When night falls we set off hunting for the magical and elusive Northern Lights. Of course it all depends on the weather forecast and visibility conditions as to whether we go, so do keep this in mind. And, don´t forget, the Auroras are only visible during the winter months.

Tour Highlights

Þingvellir National Park

Öxarárfoss waterfall

Laugarvatn geothermal area

Instructions about how to set up your camera to capture northern lights and the night sky

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

We are working with Iceland´s most talented Northern lights hunters to find the best places every night.

It is never a guaranteed that we will see northern lights, however, we do our best to maximize our chances by picking the best locations.

Since it is never guaranteed to see aurora, we will make sure you get the chance to see them. In the event of a unsuccessful hunt, we offer you the chance to re-book as many times as needed until you partake in a successful northern lights hunt. You can continue to do this within a 2 year period of going on the first hunt.

If the Northern Lights portion of this tour is canceled due to weather and you don’t have an opportunity to participate in a subsequent tour, the northern lights portion of the tour will be refunded. 

For the In-Bus-Audio-Guide: Bring your own headphones. Otherwise headphones are available for purchase in every bus from our hosts. 

For your comfort: Dress according to weather. In Iceland it is always wise to dress in warm waterproof clothes. Weather changes can be sudden so be prepared for all weather conditions. Waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves, and warm socks/waterproof shoes are recommended, especially since we will be outside at night during the hunt for the northern lights.

Hunting Northern lights My favorite part was that our guide was very passionate about the northern lights. We went to different places to hunt for the northern lights. I think our guide's name was Thomas (sorry can't remember). However, even when the northern lights wasn't visible to the naked eye, he would tell us to try to take a pic of the skies and see if there were any. Fortunately, there was. The main part was that he was willing to stop and wait for a full blown northern lights where you're able to see it. I call that dedication. Thank you very much for the experience.

Icelandic folklore, seals, and more nice things! We did this tour with Matej as our guide and it was super pleasant! He was super friendly, giving us the time we needed to take pictures and so on, and most importantly, he gave us so many stories and information about all the places we've been to! I highly appreciated it to know a little bit about the Icelandic culture, history of the land we were passing through. It was very interesting really! Snaefellsnes was nice to discover, I was curious about that part of Iceland because I have never been to or heard about it but it's very lovely and the last stop was in ytri tunga, a beach with seals and it was incredible to see those beauties from that close in the middle of their natural habitat! I highly recommend this tour and traveling in particular with this company, that made us feel very confortable!

Great experience, recommend it! I did this tour mid of June and I absolutely loved it. We heard some agencies were canceling tours so we were a bit afraid for our holidays but this one is guaranteeing departures with no minimum passengers so it was perfect. The guide was super nice and interesting. The Golden Circle is a must see if you can to Iceland and the Secret Lagoon was the cherry on the cake, very authentic (more than the Blue Lagoon or Sky Lagoon for instance). I highly recommend you to take this tour when coming here with this agency!!!

Brilliant What a brilliant tour! Chris our guide was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. The stops were beyond what photos can convey, every stop we made was incredible! Some put of this world scenery. Lovely to be able to do some nice walks whilst on a multi stop tour as well. There was just one other couple on the tour so it was almost like a private day trip! Can't recommend enough, go for it!

A great day visiting the Golden Circle I have taken this tour a number of times bu Lisa did a nice job of adding little extras taht I enjoyed like stopping for Icecream and visiting the Tomato Farm. Next time I would try to have lunch at the tomato farm so for those looking to go-see if that can be arranged. We had an amazing day and are thrilled we went.
