Embark on a journey to discover the iconic landmarks of the Golden Circle, which include Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall. Then, you'll continue your adventure with an exhilarating trip to Langjökull, Iceland's magnificent glacier, aboard a colossal off-road vehicle.
Your guided tour of the Golden Circle begins in a small group setting. At Þingvellir National Park, you'll be treated to expansive views over the lake and the historic parliament site, where the continental drift is clearly visible. The Geysir area offers a spectacle as the spouting hot spring Strokkur propels a significant water fountain into the air at regular intervals. The roaring Gullfoss waterfall never fails to impress, and a brief walk to its edge allows you to feel the invigorating mist on your face.
The adventure continues deep into the Highlands along the rugged Kjölur road. Here, you'll climb aboard a large off-road vehicle to explore the awe-inspiring landscape of Langjökull Glacier. Along the way, enthusiastic guides will share their knowledge, providing fascinating facts about the glacier, recount authentic local tales and offer a closer look at the surrounding scenery.
A stop at a scenic spot on the glacier provides an opportunity for refreshments amidst panoramic views that are nothing short of spectacular. If you're up for some fun, why not sled down the snowy slopes or engage in a unique round of golf right atop the glacier?
