About this experience
Small Group Tour: Golden Circle & Tomato Farm From Reykjavik
Our small group tour takes you on a captivating journey through the iconic Golden Circle, offering a blend of breathtaking natural wonders, fascinating history, and a unique taste of Icelandic life. Departing from Reykjavik, you'll experience a day filled with stunning landscapes and engaging stories, all in the comfort of a minibus with a maximum of 19 fellow explorers, ensuring a more personal and intimate experience.
1. Þingvellir National Park
Our adventure begins with a visit to Þingvellir National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage site of immense historical and geological significance.Imagine walking between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates – a truly unique experience. Your guide will bring to life the stories of Iceland's ancient parliament, where laws were made under the open sky centuries ago.
2. Öxarárfoss:
We'll make a brief stop to admire the picturesque Öxarárfoss waterfall, a charming cascade easily accessible by a short walk. Enjoy the scenic views and capture some photos.
3. Efstidalur II
We'll make a pleasant stop at Efstidalur II, a family-run farm. Enjoy some free time to take photos, perhaps interact with the farm animals, and enjoy a break.
4. Geysir Geothermal Area
Next, we'll explore the geothermal wonderland of Geysir. Witness the bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and the famous Strokkur geyser erupting dramatically every few minutes, sending a column of hot water high into the air. Enjoy the unique sights, take a walk around the area, and capture some memorable photos.
5. Gullfoss waterfall
Experience the beauty of Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders. On a sunny day, you might even be lucky enough to witness a vibrant rainbow arching through the mist. We'll take you to well-maintained viewing platforms, offering different perspectives of this magnificent waterfall. You'll have time for sightseeing, guided information, and capturing stunning photos.
6. Friðheimar Tomato Farm
But the adventure doesn't stop there. We'll take a delightful and unique break at the Friðheimar tomato farm. Step into a greenhouse oasis where you'll learn about the innovative ways Icelanders grow fresh produce year-round, even in the Arctic climate.
7. Kerið Crater
As our day winds down, we'll head to the dramatic Kerið Crater Lake. Take a walk around the rim for panoramic views and then descend to the water's edge to truly appreciate the scale and beauty of this unique geological wonder. It's the perfect final stop to reflect on the day's incredible experiences. You'll have time for sightseeing, a guided overview, a walk around the rim, and photo opportunities to capture this unique geological formation.
Following our exploration of the tour, we will begin our journey back to Reykjavík, with drop-off at the same bus stop location where you were picked up. We aim to return you to your chosen stop in the late afternoon/early evening.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?
The nearest cheaper Godafoss Waterfall Day Tour From Akureyri from Imagine Iceland Travel is €57 — €54 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| Nordur Travel Services ehf · €111 | Imagine Iceland Travel · €57 | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it runs | 9 hours | 2 hours |
The €54 buys you 7 more hours out. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

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.

My sister and I booked a Golden Circle tour with Nordur Travel. They communicated well with us prior to the trip providing pick up details and any changes to the programme. Lara the guide was very good - friendly and informative and considered the needs of the group. I would happily recommend the company.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Northern Lights, even though we had 2 goes at it! Each trip took us to different places, and although the forecast was apparently very good on the second attempt, we still didn’t see any, despite the enthusiasm and knowledge of both guides. Laura was the perfect guide, with her knowledge and enthusiasm. The hot chocolate drink and pastries were very welcome, and the dark skies on the second night were quite spectacular on their own!

The tour with Magda was super, she told us a lot of information about Landmannalaugar and the hike was really beautiful! Relaxing in the hot spring at the end was also very nice. All in all a great adventure 👍
