About this experience

Embark on an epic journey through the untamed wilds of East Iceland, crafted for daring cruise passengers docking in Seyðisfjörður. Your adventure kicks off at a local reindeer park, where you’ll come face-to-face with majestic Icelandic reindeer and uncover the secrets of their survival in the rugged Eastfjords. Venture deeper into remote valleys and traverse dramatic mountain landscapes, making your way to the enchanting Rjúkandi waterfall - a tranquil oasis where the roar of cascading water and the silence of untouched wilderness set the scene for discovery. But the real thrill awaits at the awe-inspiring Stuðlagil Canyon. Marvel at towering basalt columns and the electric blue river that slices through the heart of the canyon. Here, you’ll have time to wander, explore, and capture memories that will last a lifetime. On your return, pause at the hidden Gufufoss waterfall, a secret treasure just outside Seyðisfjörður. Soak in breathtaking views far from the crowds, and let the spirit of Iceland’s wild beauty fill your soul. Every moment of this adventure is timed with precision to match your ship’s schedule, ensuring you return to port with stories to tell and at least an hour to spare before departure. Get ready to answer the call of East Iceland’s wild wonders.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

1Magic Iceland Travel decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

What a great tour at such a reasonable price! Went on the Golden Circle 9 hour tour today with Daniel (the guide) and Pavel (the driver). We survived so Pavel's obviously a good driver 😉 but the amount of information Daniel knew (despite not being a native Icelander) was astounding and presented in a very accessible manner. We had the cruise ship terminal pickup tour but they also pickup all around Reykjavík. Highly recommended to anyone looking for excellent value for money and a really interesting tour. We'll definitely use them again when we return to Iceland.

I did the Golden Circle with Surprise Tour in Reykjavik with tour guide Viktoria and driver Pawel on June 10, 2026. The tour totally exceeded my expectations. Viktoria was engaging and energetic and gave us information throughout the tour that was interesting and filled with humor. An added bonus is that she is a very good singer. Our driver Pawel was very courteous and helpful. They went out of their way to route the tour to try to minimized crowds and this was greatly appreciated by all. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Icelandic Adventure👌 If you’re in Reykjavik, stop scrolling and book this Golden Circle tour. Seriously 😉 Our guide, Thales, was an absolute legend. The man is a walking encyclopedia of Icelandic lore, but with way better jokes. He turned a scenic drive into a full-on masterclass about the land of fire and ice. The amazing stuff: Þingvellir: Walked between continents Geysir: Got some epic "eruption" videos Gullfoss: Absolutely mystical and magical Kerið Crater: amazing view from the top The "Surprise" (The Legend of the Shark): 🦈 The itinerary mentioned a "small local surprise." Thales whipped out some fermented shark. Let’s just say it’s a... unique culinary experience that stays with you (mostly in your nose). 🤣It was the highlight of the trip and had the whole bus laughing. An unforgettable day with a world-class guide. 10/10 highly recommend! 🤌👌🫶

Reindeer in Iceland: where to see themWild reindeer live only in East Iceland. You are most likely to see them near the Ring Road in winter; in summer they are in the highlands and the sure thing is a park.
