Overview

Our Golden Circle & Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik allows you to fit two uniquely Icelandic experiences in one bumper tour.

Start the day with our fantastic tour featuring the natural highlights of the Golden Circle, Iceland´s most famous tourist trail. Highlights include the winding path between the continental plates at Thingvellir National Park as well as the world renowned Geysir where Strokkur erupts every 5 to minutes.

After a full day spent exploring those and other highlights of the Golden Circle, you return to the city for a few hours to rest and have dinner.

Feeling re-energized, join our evening northern lights hunting tour. We search for clear skies. We wait patiently for nature´s great display and while we do so you can enjoy complimentary hot-chocolate and local candy.
