Overview

This afternoon bus tour lasts about eight hours and includes a professional guide and admission fees. It is a later departure option of the Grand Golden Circle tour, offering a way to leave Reykjavik after the morning. The tour covers major sites on the Golden Circle route, including the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park. The first stop is the Golden Circle route, where visitors spend around one hour seeing three key locations. At Gullfoss Falls, the tour pauses for about 40 minutes to view the two-tiered waterfall, which drops 11 and 21 meters and carries over 100 cubic meters of water per second. Next is Strokkur, an active geyser that erupts every 7 to 10 minutes; visitors can also buy food here. After that, the group visits Thingvellir National Park for approximately 40 minutes to see the site of Iceland’s first parliament and the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The tour includes Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater 55 meters deep, but only on departures at 10:30 am. Later departures do not include Kerid and instead run about seven hours. Food and drinks are not included. The company operates the tour in all weather conditions, and cruise ship passengers must provide details about their ship and docking times at booking. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and cruise ship pickup requires contacting the operator after booking.
