Project Description

Golden Circle & Glacier

Private Adventure by Super Truck

This tour combines Iceland’s most famous landmarks with something far fewer people experience: driving onto a glacier in a purpose-built Super Truck. It’s a full day that moves from history and geology to raw ice — done privately, properly, and without rushing.

You’ll explore the Golden Circle first, then leave the crowds behind and head into the highlands toward Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier.

Journey Through the Golden Circle

We begin by leaving Reykjavík and heading east to Iceland’s classic route — taken at a pace that allows you to actually experience it.

  • Þingvellir National Park – Walk through the rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, and explore the site of the world’s first parliament.
  • Geysir Geothermal Area – Watch Strokkur erupt every few minutes, powered by the heat beneath Iceland’s crust.
  • Gullfoss Waterfall – One of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls, dropping in two stages into a rugged canyon.

These stops are spaced and timed to avoid the worst crowds where possible.

Onto the Ice: Langjökull Glacier by Super Truck

After the Golden Circle, the tour shifts character.

We head toward Langjökull, where regular vehicles stop — and the real adventure begins in our Moonwalker Land Rover Defender Super Truck, built specifically for glacier travel.

Your guide, an AIMG-certified Glacier Guide, drives your private group onto the ice itself. Standing on hundreds of meters of compressed snow and ice, you’ll experience the scale, silence, and power of the glacier — not from the edge, but from the top.

This is not a short stop. You’ll have time to walk around, take photos, and understand where you are and why it matters.

Experience the Golden Circle Properly with Moonwalker

This is a private adventure, not a production-line tour. The pace, timing, and focus adapt to conditions and to you.

Moonwalker is a family-run company, consistently awarded Travelers’ Choice since 2016. Our guides have backgrounds in Search & Rescue and Wilderness First Response (WFR) — because Iceland demands competence, not just commentary.

BEYOND amazing!

Hands down recommend Bessi for private tours! If i had known he was this good, i’d have booked all my tours for my family with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about Iceland – there was simply no question he wasn’t able to answer! He made the tour extremely fun, enjoyable AND relaxing despite the mad weather conditions we had during our tour day! and if you want to experience true Iceland, book a tour with him because i am certain he will give his 1000% that you have a grand experience during your tour 🙂 you simply will NOT regret it!

Golden Circle & Langjökull Glacier Tour

We took the Golden Circle & Langjökull Glacier tour with Moonwalker and it was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. We are so glad we look this small group tour that allowed us to go at our own pace and get to know & learn from Bessi; he is an amazing guide & shared great insights into Iceland with his wealth of knowledge & humor. We were joined by Cami (Bessi’s dog) making an incredible trip even better. Standing on the Langjökull Glacier is amazing, but watching Cami chase glacier snow balls made this breathtaking experience even more memorable. I would definitely book this tour again (or others with Moonwalker) without hesitation. Thank your Bessi (& Cami) for this fantastic tour.

Amazing day seeing amazing sights of Iceland

Bessi was the perfect guide and the Golden Circle has so many beautiful sights. This tour was great to be able to avoid the large crowds on typical bus tours. We were able to see the sights of the Golden Circle and to do it with just the two of us and our guide Bessi. Bessi was very knowledgeable and fun. He really made the trip even better. The drive to the top of the glacier was an extra added bonus. Just us alone on top of a glacier surrounded by untouched scenery. If you are on the fence about a private versus group tour, I absolutely recommend private and I would highly recommend seeing the Golden Circle with Bessi!

Bessí, you are a Legend

Anyone considering to book this company, stop reading and DO IT!
Bessí our guide and monster truck owner, is who you want to go with on this tour or any tour. He has all the information you need to discover the sights, history and culture of Iceland. Our tour was relaxed, no rushing from place to place, plenty of time to take a million photos, have a snowball fight, eat lunch and an extra surprise stop. We had a fantastic time. Value for money, Bessí is priceless. He is a true Viking, love you mate!

A trip highlight

Bessi is an incredible guide. I got confused with the start time but he waited patiently for us to join him. He is extremely gracious. The tour itself was fabulous!! We loved visiting the Geyser, plate boundary and waterfall but by far the highlight was driving up onto the glacier in Bessi’s incredible and purpose built vehicle. We would not hesitate to join Bessi again. We were visiting on a cruise ship and had limited time so this tour was a fantastic way to visit the highlights. Highly recommended and beyond our expectations.
