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

Private Golden Circle Tour — Rally Car Edition

Iceland’s Golden Circle is the country’s most famous sightseeing route — and this private tour lets you experience it in a way no one else offers. Ride as a passenger in a 500-horsepower, road-legal rally car, blending adrenaline with comfort as you explore geysers, waterfalls, volcanic craters, and historic sites.

This is not your standard bus tour — it’s a unique, VIP journey that combines world-class nature with the thrill of a one-of-a-kind machine.

Your Ride — Spirit

Our Ford Focus RS, nicknamed Spirit, has been carefully modified for both excitement and comfort. Built for grip, power, and sound — yet fully road legal and safe for day tours.

  • Turbocharged Engine Upgrade — Smooth, powerful acceleration
  • Intelligent AWD System — Confidence in all conditions
  • Performance Suspension & Brakes — Sporty yet controlled ride
  • Custom Exhaust System — A thrilling soundtrack for the road
  • Premium Interior — Sport seats, modern tech, passenger comfort

Note: Spirit has four bookable seats, though it is best suited for three adults and one smaller individual or child, given the car’s compact performance layout.

Tour Highlights
  • Private Experience — A tour designed entirely around your preferences
  • Licensed Chauffeur & Guide — Professional driver with local knowledge
  • Door-to-Door Service — Convenient pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík

  • Gullfoss Waterfall — Witness the raw power of a two-tier waterfall plunging into a canyon.
  • Kerið Crater (Optional) — A striking volcanic crater with red slopes and a turquoise lake.
  • Secret Lagoon or Friðheimar Greenhouse (Optional) — Relax in natural hot water or dine in a greenhouse warmed by geothermal energy.
  • Return to Reykjavík — Scenic drive back with optional detours along the way.
Customize Your Adventure

This tour isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how you get there. From the deep growl of the exhaust to the confident pull of the AWD system, the car adds a whole new layer to your Golden Circle experience. Whether you prefer a smooth scenic drive or a more spirited ride, your chauffeur adjusts the journey to your comfort level.

Exclusive & One-of-a-Kind

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.

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

  • 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.

    The driver was super friendly and clearly knows his stuff, which made it even better. It felt safe but still gave that real racing thrill. Totally worth it if you’re into cars or just want to try something different while in Iceland.

    ★★★★★ · in the last week

    I met Daniel earlier in the day on another tour. However, later I needed a ride from the Blue Lagoon to a hotel in Reykjavik with all my luggage. He offered to pick me up in his race car taxi, and I had no idea what to expect. I messaged him from the lagoon to agree on a pick up time. After that, it became a bit surreal... he picked me up right on time in a beautiful blue race car. It was the most fun “taxi" ride l've ever had. In addition, Daniel is an amazing tour guide and took time to show me the sights and tell me about Iceland along the way. Whether you need a tour, a ride to the airport, or want to hunt for the northern lights with one of the most knowledgeable hunters in the field, just call Daniel. You will not regret.
