What to expect

This is the perfect combination of the most popular day tour in Iceland with the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon, taking you to see the separation of Europe and North America, geysers and hot springs, and the magnificent golden waterfall. The day starts with a visit to the Thingvellir valley, a place of amazing natural beauty where the land has been torn apart by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the largest freshwater lake in Iceland and is the beating heart of Icelandic pride, being the birthplace of the longest standing parliament in the world.

The journey then continues to the Geysir park which is filled with bubbling and steaming geothermal springs. The anticipation builds as you approach the viewing point for the Strokkur Geyser, where the ground trembles and almost without warning, the geyser erupts spectacularly to heights of 35 meters. Then you continue to the magnificent and majestic Golden Waterfall. As water melts from the second-largest glacier in Iceland, Langjökull, it reaches Gullfoss where it falls 32 meters down into a canyon with a thunderous roar. An amazing site and favorite of visitors.

You then head back to the capital area to prepare for a visit to one of the wonders of the world, the Blue Lagoon. The mineral-rich waters offer a unique and first-hand experience of Iceland's plentiful geothermal springs. The warm waters offer a perfect way to relax and reflect upon the natural beauty of this island and is a must-see when traveling to Iceland. Note that after returning to Reykjavik from the Golden Circle, there will be a 30 minute break before heading to the Blue Lagoon.

Full-day southern Iceland tour with waterfalls and volcano

"Locals often say the south coast is where Iceland shows you all its moods in a single day," says Jan, one of our local guides. He continues, "You'll see waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes and black-sand beaches, all shaped by the same powerful forces." If you're looking to venture beyond Reykjavík and experience the landscapes that have made Iceland famous, this full-day tour is an ideal introduction. As you travel through ever-changing scenery, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how fire and ice have shaped the island's dramatic character.Your first stops are two of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss pours from an ancient sea cliff, creating one of the country's most photographed sights. While nearby, Skógafoss crashes down in a powerful curtain of water. On sunny days look out for rainbows framing the falls. Next, head to Eyjafjallajökull – roughly pronounced AY-ya-fyat-la-yer-kutl. This glacier-capped volcano made headlines and caused air travel chaos during its eruption in 2010. Today, its snow-covered peak lies dormant and peaceful.Head just half an hour east, and the black-sand beaches of Vik reveal another side of Iceland's volcanic landscape. This is Jan's favourite spot. He adds, “The dark beaches meet jagged black basalt rock formations that, according to legend, were once trolls turned to stone by the sunrise.” You can decide for yourself whether it was magic or the cooling lava and the wild Atlantic waves that created this otherworldly-looking coastline. As you look around, your guide will share local stories and legends that bring the beautiful yet harsh and isolated landscapes to life.

Half-day guided Reykjavik tour with FlyOver Iceland experience

In the world's most northerly capital city, the sun barely peeks above the horizon in the depths of winter. But Reykjavík's central 101 district combats the darkness with a rainbow of brightly coloured buildings, bringing a cheerfulness that warms the cityscape. It's one stop on this half-day tour of Reykjavík's highlights. As Jan, a local guide, explains, “Iceland is as brutal as it is beautiful. And the people who call it home have always found ways to harness what nature gives them. From the geology-inspired Hallgrímskirkja church to the geothermal hot water tanks beneath Perlan's glass dome.”Your city tour takes in the colourful streets of the 101 district before arriving at the distinctive Hallgrímskirkja. Angular concrete pillars sweep upwards to the spire, echoing the basalt columns formed by cooling lava. The views continue with a photo stop at the Sun Voyager, a metal Viking dreamboat sculpture overlooking the bay and Mount Esja. You'll also pass Perlan, the striking glass-domed home of geothermal water tanks that help keep Reykjavík's residents toasty. Everywhere you look, the city embraces its volcanic geology.You'll see Höfði House, where Reagan and Gorbachev met in 1986 for talks that helped end the Cold War, then the futuristic Harpa concert hall, shimmering by the waterfront. Round off your visit with FlyOver Iceland. This immersive 5D cinema experience uses sweeping aerial imagery and sensory effects to take you over glaciers, mountains and dramatic coastlines, without having to wrap up against the elements.
