Join this best-selling, full-day minibus tour departing from Reykjavík, designed for an easy difficulty level suitable for all travelers. The tour begins with pickup and heads directly to the celebrated Golden Circle route.

Your first major stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visibly pulling apart. This area is also historically vital as the site of Iceland's first parliament, established in 930 AD. Next, you will visit the Geysir Geothermal Area to witness the reliable eruption of the Strokkur geyser, which shoots water up to 35 meters every 5–10 minutes.

Beyond the classic stops, this tour includes a visit to the Brúarfoss Waterfall, often called "Iceland's Bluest Waterfall," where silky, sapphire-blue water contrasts sharply with dark lava rocks. You will then see the magnificent Gullfoss ("Golden Waterfall"), where the glacial river plunges into a deep canyon. The final highlight is the Kerid Volcanic Crater, known for its unique red walls surrounding an aquamarine-blue lake. The entire journey is guided in English, and you will return to Reykjavík in the early evening.

Embark on a three-hour guided expedition onto Breiðamerkurjökull—an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, Europe's grandest ice cap. Begin your adventure at the iconic Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where a rugged Super Jeep awaits to carry you across wild terrain to the very edge of ancient ice. Led by an expert guide, you'll walk upon deep blue ice, explore shimmering crevasses, vertical moulins, and sculpted ice canyons, discovering the ever-changing story of Iceland's glacial heart. Suitable for all adventurers with a moderate fitness level, this journey blends education, excitement, and extraordinary views into one unforgettable half-day experience.

Meet at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where your guide will welcome you before boarding a specially-equipped Super Jeep. The off-road ride to Breiðamerkurjökull is an adventure in itself, crossing raw landscapes while your guide shares insights into the glacier’s formation, movement, and retreat.

Upon reaching the ice, you'll be fitted with crampons, helmet, ice axe, and harness. After a thorough safety briefing, you’ll step onto centuries-old blue ice and begin your hike. As you explore, your guide will reveal stunning glacial features: vertical ice shafts known as moulins, deep crevasses that glow with inner light, and intricate canyons carved by meltwater.

While the famed winter ice caves are not accessible in summer, this season offers expansive views and open glacial landscapes bathed in the soft Arctic light. The hike is moderately challenging but accessible to beginners in good physical condition.

Wear warm, layered clothing and sturdy hiking boots. Morning and afternoon departures are available—choose your preferred time and prepare for an immersive encounter with Iceland’s living ice.
