About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a breathtaking day tour where you will explore Iceland’s stunning Golden Circle by day and chase the magical Northern Lights by night, experiencing the very best of the country's natural wonders in one unforgettable adventure. Your journey begins at the Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of the world’s longest-running democratic parliament. Here, you can walk inside the rift between the North American and Eurasian plates and marvel at the Öxarárfoss waterfall. This unique geological site holds both historical and natural significance, making it an unmissable stop.

Next, we head to the stunning Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most famous natural attractions. The waterfall’s many levels create a beautiful sight, and on sunny days, you can often see several rainbows. It is a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts eager to capture its beauty. From there, we continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where you will witness the powerful eruptions of a geyser shooting water up to 30 meters high. This natural spectacle occurs every few minutes, making it one of Iceland’s most memorable experiences.

After exploring the Golden Circle, you will have a short break back at your hotel before we pick you up again at 20:30 to chase the northern lights. We take you out of Reykjavik, away from the city lights, so you can fully enjoy this celestial display. This tour is ideal for the curious and promises a perfect blend of Iceland’s natural wonders and mystical night skies.
