About this experience

This tour offers an unparalleled Icelandic experience by expertly weaving together two of the country's most breathtaking regions. In one exhilarating day, guests journey from the historical rifts of Thingvellir and the explosive power of Geysir, to the majestic Golden Falls of Gullfoss, before venturing along the dramatic South Coast with its iconic waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss (walk-behind magic!) and Skogafoss, the mystical black sand beach of Reynisfjara, and the stunning Sólheimajökull Glacier.

What makes this private adventure truly unique is the seamless fusion of Iceland's signature "fire and ice" landscapes, condensed into a perfectly paced itinerary. Guests don't just see the highlights; they immerse themselves in the raw power of erupting geysers, the grandeur of cascading waterfalls, and the otherworldly beauty of a glacier, all while enjoying the flexibility and personal attention that only a private tour can provide.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. You can walk right up to it but be prepared to be drenched. It is overwhelming standing next to it.

Stop 2

Reynisfjara is a world-famous black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, just beside Vik í Myrdal, which is the southernmost village on the mainland of Iceland.

Vik, is a charming coastal community surrounded by Iceland's breathtaking scenery. Vik, with its lovely red-roofed homes, offers a peaceful respite from the South Coast's untamed beauty. Vik is a location where modern civilisation coexists peacefully with the untamed strength of the earth, surrounded by towering cliffs, black sand beaches, and the famous Reynisdrangar sea stacks. It's a mesmerising stop that urges you to appreciate this particular coastal haven's tranquil beauty.

Stop 4

Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier of the mighty icecap of Mýrdalsjökull on the South Coast of Iceland. It is one of the most easily accessible glaciers to reach from Reykjavík, just 158 kilometers (98 miles) away.

The Great Geysir, located in the Haukadalur geothermal area, is one of Iceland’s most famous natural wonders.
Just a short distance from Geysir, you’ll find Strokkur, a very active geyser that erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 20–30 meters (65–98 feet) into the air. This makes Haukadalur one of the best places in the world to witness the incredible power of geothermal energy.

Stop 6

Þingvellir (pronounced "Thingvellir") National Park is one of Iceland’s most important and breathtaking natural sites. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its unique geology, rich history, and stunning landscapes. Located about 40 km (25 miles) from Reykjavík, Þingvellir is part of the popular Golden Circle route, along with Gullfoss Waterfall and Geysir.

Gullfoss Waterfall – The Golden Falls of Iceland

Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls," is one of Iceland’s most stunning and iconic waterfalls. Located in the southwest of the country, it is part of the famous Golden Circle route, making it a must-visit destination for travelers.
