What to expect

On this combination tour, you'll explore some of Iceland's must-see landmarks along the Golden Circle as well as go hunting for Northern Lights - all in one day! The day starts at 10.30am with a tour of the Golden Circle, along the route you'll visit Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Þingvellir National Park.

The famous Geysir does not erupt often anymore, whereas the but the smaller, but very impressive, Strokkur erupts every 4-8 minutes, shooting a column of water up to 40 metres up in the air. The beautiful waterfall of Gullfoss is part of the glacial river Hvítá which gets its water from Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Iceland. The tour rounds up with a stop at Þingvellir which is known for being one of the very few places in the world where you can see the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates above ground.

After returning to Reykjavík at 4.30pm, you will have a few hours to relax on your own, before heading out to hunt the Northern Lights, the time depends on the season. The three-hour long Northern Lights tour will take you out of the city for the best possible view of the lights, the location is chosen depending on the weather conditions. As the Northen Lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings are not guaranteed, but you are welcome to join the tour again for free in case you did not see any Northern Lights.
