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.

    We did the Grundarfjordur Snaefellsnes tour (small group for cruises) with Lorenzo. It was fantastic. Lorenzo was a great guide, the scenery spectacular. It was a great taste of the Icelandic West Coast. A fabulous day, thank you.

    A brilliant tour with Marcos to the spectacular Dynjandi waterfall and a farm visit. He was witty, friendly and very informative all tour. The coffee and homemade cakes at the farm, plus the adorable horses, were a bonus. Highly recommended 🤩
