Overview

Explore Iceland's breathtaking nature on a full-day Golden Circle tour departing from Skarfabakki port.

Unlike traditional tours, we don't have a set departure time for this tour; instead, we wait for the cruise to dock before beginning our adventure, allowing up to 2 hours after the cruise has docked.

Our commitment to an intimate experience is evident in our small group approach. With fewer participants, our knowledgeable guides can focus more on each guest, providing unparalleled customer service.

The Golden Circle, renowned for its proximity to Reykjavik, offers diverse landscapes and captivating tales from Iceland's settlement era to the present day. Immerse yourself in this popular route, where nature and culture intertwine seamlessly.

On this tour, we will guide you to the stunning Gullfoss Waterfall, the impressive Geysir, the charming Efstidalur dairy farm, and the picturesque Thingvellir National Park, where we will also visit the breathtaking Öxararfoss waterfall.

What's Included

  • WiFi on board
  • Lunch Customers will have to pay for their own lunch, either by bringing it with them on the tour or purchasing at one of the locations.
  • Snacks Customers are welcomed to bring their own snacks on board, but we do not offer any food nor drink amenities in this tour.

Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park, a jewel with both historical and geological value.This is the place where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 A.D; every year, and until the Danish colonialism, around 30 ruling chiefs met to discuss the law on the island.It also holds the meeting of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and that’s the reason why we say that we can walk between continents at this specific location.To top it off we take an easy hike to the beautiful Öxararfoss waterfall, one of the very few human-made waterfalls in Iceland. The channel of the river Öxará was moved in the 10th century in order to provide water for all the parliament assistants.
