Overview

This small-group bus tour focuses on Iceland’s Golden Circle, a route that includes key natural and historical sites. The tour starts mid-morning with pickup from Reykjavik city center or the cruise port. Participants travel in a climate-controlled minivan. The route includes stops at Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir geothermal area featuring the Strokkur geyser, and Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Thingvellir is also the site of Iceland’s original parliament, founded in 930 AD. Each main stop allows about 30 to 45 minutes to explore or walk around. The tour finishes with an hour at the Secret Lagoon hot spring, Iceland’s oldest geothermal pool, where visitors can relax in the warm water sourced from a nearby hot spring. Swimsuits and towels are not provided but can be rented separately. The whole trip lasts about eight hours and includes live commentary from a local driver-guide.
