Golden Circle & Glacier Private Adventure

Explore Icons & Ice by Glacier Truck

Prepare for an exclusive adventure designed just for your group! Embark on an epic day packed with Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders and a thrilling journey onto a vast ice cap. This private Moonwalker tour combines the famous Golden Circle route with a unique adventure on Langjökull Glacier, offering a perfect blend of history, geology, and pure Icelandic excitement, guided by our team of local experts.

Journey Through the Golden Circle

Your private adventure begins with comfortable transportation from Reykjavik to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk in the footsteps of history at the birthplace of the ancient Icelandic parliament and marvel at the dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart – a visible representation of the Earth’s powerful forces.

Next, you’ll venture into the geothermal area of Haukadalur to witness the explosive power of Geysir and its active counterpart, Strokkur. Prepare for a steamy encounter as Strokkur erupts faithfully every few minutes, shooting a jet of boiling water high into the sky – a truly mesmerizing display of the geothermal energy bubbling beneath Iceland’s surface.

The third gem of the Golden Circle is the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, often called the “Golden Waterfall.” Witness the immense volume of water thundering down a wide, two-tiered drop into a rugged canyon, creating a spectacular, often misty, display of nature’s raw beauty.

Conquer Langjökull: Your Private Glacier Adventure by Super Truck

After soaking in the wonders of the Golden Circle, the adventure continues as we head towards Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap. While comfortable transportation is provided for the road sections, the real thrill begins with your transfer to a Moonwalker Land Rover Defender Super Truck, specifically engineered for traversing the glacier surface.

Climb aboard this specialized glacier truck designed to conquer the ice. As an AIMG certified Glacier Guide leads your private group onto the vast expanse of Langjökull, they will share insights about the glacier, its formation, and its role in shaping Iceland. Experience the unique perspective from atop hundreds of meters of compressed ice – a true private glacier adventure you won’t get anywhere else.
