About this experience

Get ready for an unforgettable day exploring Iceland's iconic Golden Circle—a journey through some of the country's most stunning natural wonders. This tour will take you through a trio of awe-inspiring sights, with a bonus nighttime adventure that will leave you starry-eyed.

Stop 1: Thingvellir National Park

Your first stop is the majestic Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll be walking between two tectonic plates. Feel the thrill as you literally straddle the continents of North America and Eurasia. Wander through the dramatic rift valleys, crystal-clear glacial waters, and the rich history of this ancient Viking assembly ground. If you're a fan of nature or history, you'll feel the magic in the air.

Stop 2: Laugavatn Warm lake 

Laugarvatn is a shallow lake, about 2 km2 in size, and is located in the inlands of Árnessýsla, Under its floor, there are hot springs heating the lake so it is warm and suitable for bathing all year round, and to view how locals make the traditional bred named Rúbrauð, straight rye bread. On its bank rests a village of over 300 inhabitants, also named Laugarvatn.

Stop 3: Brúarfoss

Next up, Brúarfoss, often referred to as Iceland's "hidden gem," is a stunning waterfall nestled in the picturesque landscape of southwestern Iceland.Brúarfoss is fed by the Brúará River, one of Iceland's largest spring-fed rivers. The river originates in productive, sparkling springs from underneath a huge lava field east of the river. The name Brúarfoss translates to "Bridge Fall," a fitting moniker given the picturesque footbridge that spans the river just upstream from the falls, adding a unique and charming element to the scenery.

Stop 4: Gullfoss Waterfall

No Golden Circle tour is complete without witnessing the raw beauty of Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall." Watch as the glacial waters of the Hvítá River thunder down two tiers into a deep canyon, creating an incredible mist that catches the light just perfectly. You’ll hear the roar of the waterfall long before you see it—nature’s soundtrack at its finest.

Bonus Adventure: Northern Lights Hunt.

As the sun sets and you begin your return to Reykjavik, the adventure isn’t over yet. Your guide will lead you on a hunt for the Northern Lights, Iceland’s magical aurora borealis. Venture off the main roads to dark, remote spots far away from the city lights. If the skies are clear and luck is on your side, you'll witness a spectacular light show as ribbons of green, purple, and pink dance across the night sky. It’s a jaw-dropping finale to an extraordinary day.

Wrap up your tour back in Reykjavik, with your camera full of memories and your heart full of wonder, having experienced not just the natural highlights of Iceland but also a glimpse of the Northern Lights, one of nature’s most elusive phenomena.

Adventure, beauty, and magic—all in one epic day.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 365 days of departure, rising to 50% within 30 days. 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. 1Icelimo Luxury 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.
  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 the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Questions on the day: [email protected] · +354 497 1373. How cancellations work in Iceland →

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

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 12 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

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

    I absolutely loved my northern lights tour with Icelimo. Kel, our guide, was really nice, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain everything, drove us away from the crowds and found the perfect spot to watch the lights dance in the sky. It was a magical experience and I highly recommend!!

    Excellent service, they were always attentive to detail. I especially want to mention our guide, Briosh, for explaining everything in the places we visited. Iceland is wonderful, but it's so much better with a company and guide of this caliber. Thank you so much! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to go to Iceland.

    The full-day, Golden Circle tour with Jan was remarkable and memorable. He was engaging, knowledgeable and enjoyable. And he easily accommodated the two 80-year olds with us. The scenery and conversation were excellent. A very well-done tour.

    I am the owner of Discover Scandinavia Tours, a boutique tour operator located in Florida and specialized in creating excellent Scandinavian vacations for North American travelers. My team and I have been entrusting Icelimo Luxury Travel with our clients touring Iceland for a number of years and I simply cannot say enough positive things about them. When it comes to professionalism, attention to detail and customer satisfaction, Icelimo is simply impossible to beat. It is no wonder that our clients come back from Iceland raving about their experience. Thank you very much for such a wonderful partnership, Icelimo team!
