Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at BusTravel Iceland's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the captivating landscapes of East Iceland with our exclusive tour from Seyðisfjörður Harbour to the iconic sights of Stuðlagil Canyon and Fardagafoss Waterfall. Departing from the charming port town of Seyðisfjörður, nestled amidst towering mountains and serene fjords, this expedition promises a day filled with natural wonders and cultural discoveries.


Our adventure begins as we set sail from Seyðisfjörður Harbour, tracing the tranquil waters of the fjord, flanked by majestic cliffs and cascading waterfalls. Along the way, our knowledgeable guides will regale you with fascinating tales of the region's history, folklore, and geology, offering insights into the unique ecosystems that thrive in this remote corner of Iceland.


Upon reaching our first destination, Stuðlagil Canyon, prepare to be awestruck by the sheer beauty of nature's masterpiece. Carved over millennia by the relentless flow of the Jökulsá á Dal River, the canyon's distinctive basalt columns create a mesmerizing sight, offering endless opportunities for photography and exploration. Wander along the canyon's rim, breathing in the crisp mountain air and marveling at the symphony of colors that dance across the landscape.


Next, we venture onwards to Gufufoss Waterfall, a hidden gem nestled amidst the rugged wilderness of East Iceland. As you walk through pristine valleys and moss-covered lava fields, the sound of rushing water grows ever louder, leading you to the thundering cascade that awaits. Stand in awe as Gufufoss plunges gracefully into the tranquil pool below, casting rainbows in its mist and providing a moment of serenity amidst the raw power of nature.


Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time visitor to Iceland, our Seyðisfjörður to Stuðlagil Canyon and Gufufoss Waterfall tour offers an immersive experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Join us and unlock the secrets of East Iceland's untamed beauty.

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.

  1. 1BusTravel Iceland 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Golden Ride – Day tour in Golden Circle area from Íslandshestar is €0 — €193 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

BusTravel Iceland · €193Íslandshestar · €0
How long it runs5 hours1 hour
Changing your mindFree until 24 h beforeNo free cancellation

The €193 buys you 4 more hours out and free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Children under 2 cannot join this one.
  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    We had a wonderful tour to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula today. It was amazing!! Our guide, Vjeran, was exceptional. His knowledge and experience made our tour even more memorable. He even worked in a couple of additional stops to our itinerary which further enhanced our experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in experiencing the majesty of nature in Iceland.

    An amazing experience! It was our first time in Iceland, and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. For six unforgettable days, we travelled along the famous Ring Road with our guide, Vjeran, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly professional throughout the entire journey. He made every day enjoyable while showing us Iceland’s most spectacular attractions. The trip was truly unforgettable. Some of the accommodations were also lovely, with welcoming and helpful staff that made us feel at home. There is so much to see in Iceland, and six days go by very quickly, so the itinerary was quite busy. Even so, we had the opportunity to enjoy every activity and appreciate the incredible landscapes along the way. Overall, the experience exceeded all our expectations, helped even more by the fantastic weather we were lucky enough to enjoy throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

    We had an amazing Golden Circle tour with Darren and Mikki! Darren is a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and with a great sense of humor. He told us so many fascinating things about Iceland along the way, but in such a natural and entertaining way that it never felt like a lecture. Darren and Mikki also showed us some wonderful places and made the whole day feel special. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and very personal. You can really feel that they love Iceland and enjoy sharing it with people. Highly recommend this tour! If you get the chance to explore Iceland with Darren and Mikki, take it — you won’t regret it! ❤️🇮🇸

    During our Iceland vacation, we took two tours with Bus Travel Iceland: the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon; and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. On the exceptional Golden Circle tour with a relaxing conclusion at the enchanting Blue Lagoon, we visited the iconic sites along the way, following a fairly packed itinerary but with adequate time for each stop. The guide was knowledgeable in driving the bus and engaging in providing information and telling stories about the places we visited. Higly recommended the fascinating tour to discover the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Departing from Reykjavik, we visited the main towns and iconic sites from the north to the south coast of the peninsula. The excellent Axel guided us, providing interesting details about the places to visit. His expert bus driving skills and precise planning allowed us to see everything in the allotted time, without excessive pressure or fatigue.
