About the Activity

What to Expect

Join this Guided Bus Tour to Iceland's Golden Circle from Reykjavík! Your day begins with a convenient pickup in downtown Reykjavík, where you will board our comfortable bus, equipped with WiFi onboard for a connected journey. As we depart, you will traverse the striking Hellisheiði plateau, home to the Hellisheiðarvirkjun powerplant, renowned as one of the world's most powerful geothermal facilities. Capture the enchanting mossy landscapes and the expansive views of the South Coast before we make our first stop in the quaint village of Hveragerði, where you can enjoy a treat from a delightful bakery and access restroom facilities.

The adventure truly begins as we enter the Golden Circle with a visit to the charming Faxi Waterfall. Though modest in size compared to its larger counterpart, Gullfoss, Faxi offers an intimate experience with a scenic trail leading directly to the waterfall's edge. Continuing the journey, you will be awestruck by the majestic Gullfoss, famously known as the 'Golden Waterfall', which plunges down into a dramatic 32-meter deep crevice. Weather permitting, a path allows you to walk down close to the falls, providing a breathtaking view.

Next, the tour takes you to the legendary Geysir, where the nearby Strokkur erupts every few minutes, guaranteeing a thrilling spectacle. This stop also includes a leisurely lunch break, giving you ample time to enjoy the eruptions. Finally, immerse yourself in history at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the Icelandic parliament was founded in 930 AD. Walking through the rift valley between the North American and European tectonic plates offers not only a sense of awe but also stunning panoramic views. This tour promises a relaxing yet captivating day trip filled with unforgettable scenery and photo opportunities.
