Tour Description

This three-day guided tour focuses on exploring Iceland’s key geological and historical sites, offering a comprehensive winter experience of the Golden Circle and South Coast. The tour operates from Reykjavík and includes two nights' accommodation.

The tour features Iceland's most significant natural and historical landmarks. You will visit Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly pull apart. You will witness the geothermal activity at the Geysir Area, watching the active Strokkur geyser erupt up to 35 meters every five minutes, and see the powerful cascade of Gullfoss Waterfall. The South Coast route includes walks behind Seljalandsfoss and along the 60-meter-high Skógafoss Waterfall, exploration of the basalt columns at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, and a journey to the glacier-fed Jökulsárlón Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The tour includes a supervised glacier hike with essential safety equipment and an opportunity to visit a natural Ice Cave (October–March). At night, your guide will actively monitor the forecast to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights (September–March) from the remote hotel locations.

  • The Northern Lights are a sightseeing a natural random phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed by the operator. The hotels are in prime locations to maximise the chances of seeing them.

If no Northern Lights have been seen during the tour, you are welcome to book a specific tour to the Northern Lights from Reykjavik, once your multi day tour has finished, please get in contact with us for more information and special discounts.
  • Ice caves are a dynamic, ever-changing natural phenomenon only accessible during wintertime when temperatures drop below zero. Each year, new unique caves are formed in different areas of the glacier. We see a naturally formed ice cave during this tour. The photos on our website and social media are from this winter season, but the ice cave we see might have changed in appearance due to the dynamic nature of these formations. We strive to provide you with the best possible experience on our tours, and we hope you find this information helpful as you plan your trip with us.
