Golden Circle Private Comfort

Geysers, Waterfalls & Rift Valley 

Get ready for an epic day exploring Iceland’s most famous natural wonders! This classic Moonwalker tour takes you to the iconic sites of the Golden Circle, offering a journey through history, geology, and breathtaking landscapes. For those seeking a unique coastal relaxation experience, you have the option to add a soak at the stunning Hvammsvík Hot Springs.

Discover Iceland’s Iconic Golden Circle

Our adventure begins with a scenic drive from Reykjavik to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and geological wonder. Walk through the dramatic Almannagjá rift valley, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart – a truly unique geological experience. Explore the site of the Alþingi, Iceland’s ancient Viking parliament, founded over a thousand years ago, immersing yourself in both history and stunning natural beauty.

Next, we journey to the geothermal area of Haukadalur, home to the famous Geysir hot spring area. Prepare to be amazed by the power of nature as Strokkur, Geysir’s active counterpart, erupts faithfully every few minutes, sending a powerful jet of boiling water up to 40 meters into the air. Witness this incredible display of the Earth’s raw energy up close!

Our exploration of the Golden Circle culminates at the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall, widely considered the “Queen of Icelandic Waterfalls.” Marvel at the sheer volume of water thundering down a wide, two-tiered drop into a deep canyon. Feel the mist on your face and listen to the roar of the falls – a truly awe-inspiring natural spectacle and a powerful reminder of the forces shaping Iceland.

After experiencing these three incredible natural highlights, we begin our scenic drive back towards Reykjavik.
