Description

Minibus Golden Circle combo tour to see the most famous places in Iceland, powerful Gullfoss, the most popular waterfall in Iceland, incredible geology and history at Þingvellir and a stunning erupting Geysir. When darkness falls you hunt for the glittering swirls of the northern lights.


Pick up is at 13:00 from your selected meeting point in Reykjavik. Picking everyone up can take up to 30 minutesbut you do have to be ready at 13:00.
Available pick-up points: Arctic Adventures’s pick-up list.

This minibus trip is a combination of our very popular afternoon Golden Circle tour and an evening Northern Lights tour.  

You travel through beautiful countryside to Þingvellir National Park, the amazing site of Iceland´s historic parliament, Alþingi, the oldest still existing parliament in the world, founded in 930 AD. This incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site is also one of the great geological wonders of the world. The Eurasian and North American tectonic plates have slowly moved apart creating an incredible rift valley which runs right through Þingvellir.

Next on the agenda is the Geysir hot spring area. Great Geysir is no longer active, but Strokkur, a nearby erupting hot spring, spouts huge jets of superheated water every 8 to 10 minutes. These scalding expulsions often soar to 25 m and sometimes even 40 m skywards. Watching a geyser erupt is always a stunning and incredible moment.  

You will visit the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall (the Golden Falls), the river flowing through the falls originates at Langjökull glacier. That river is called Hvítá, meaning ‘the White River’, and there is certainly plenty of white water. The roaring river thunders through the rugged canyon, dropping 32 m in two stages. You will see the golden hued spray which gave this waterfall its name, and, maybe, a rainbow – remember to make a wish!

You are dropped off downtown in Reykjavík, close to cafés and restaurants where you have time to enjoy supper. You will be picked up outside the City Hall for your northern lights tour.

We will take you to best places out in the country to see the aurora. The moment when you spot their shimmering, jewel bright colors is always awe-inspiring and magical. Green, yellow, white and sometimes blue auroras are usually seen. Violet, purple and rose northern lights happen less often. Really red auroras, from rose to stronger reds, are more common in Iceland than anywhere else in the world, although they are still quite rare. We can never promise that you will see the lights but we always do our very best.

The tour returns to Reykjavík around midnight, you are dropped off at or very near your hotel.
