Full Day Private Self-Drive Guided Jeep Tour to the Golden Circle

About the Activity

What to Expect

Take on this unique self-drive Jeep adventure into the heart of Iceland's golden circle, boasting beautiful glacial and waterfall-filled landscapes. You will be driving one of ISAK's classic 4X4 Land Rover Defender Jeeps, a rugged vehicle that promises both comfort and reliability on Iceland's challenging terrains. This adventure kicks off at the historical Þingvellir National Park, where you can explore the grounds where the parliament was established in 930 AD. Imagine walking between the North American and European tectonic plates, soaking in spectacular views and centuries of history.

Your next destination is the famous Geysir area, where you will witness the power of Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 5-8 minutes. Make sure to keep a safe distance from the water and let your camera capture this magnificent natural display. Moving forward, the tour takes you to the awe-inspiring Golden Waterfall, known as Gullfoss, which plunges into a 32-meter deep crevice. Here, you have the chance to take a short 10-minute walk down to the falls for an up-close experience. The adventure concludes with a thrilling off-road drive to the Langjökull Glacier, where you will be treated to sensational views. This tour is ideal for those who crave a mix of history, nature, and adventure.
