Itinerary
Explore the Golden Circle and Finish with FlyOver Iceland
Spend the day visiting Iceland’s best-known Golden Circle attractions before returning to Reykjavík for an immersive simulated flight over the country. This combination gives you both first-hand sightseeing and a cinematic introduction to landscapes from across Iceland.
1. Reykjavík Departure
Begin from Reykjavík at approximately 09:00 and travel into the Icelandic countryside with your professional guide. Learn about the country’s geology, history and folklore as you approach the Golden Circle.
2. Þingvellir National Park
Visit Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Icelandic history meets dramatic geology. Explore the rift landscape associated with the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates while learning about the site’s importance in Iceland’s early parliamentary history.
3. Geysir Geothermal Area
Walk through an active geothermal landscape filled with steam vents and hot springs. Watch Strokkur erupt at regular intervals and experience one of Iceland’s most recognisable geothermal attractions.
4. Gullfoss Waterfall
Continue to Gullfoss, where the Hvítá River descends dramatically through a rugged canyon. Explore the designated viewpoints and take in the scale, sound and spray of this famous Icelandic waterfall.
5. Kerið Volcanic Crater
Visit Kerið, a striking volcanic crater known for its colourful rock walls and crater lake. Walk along the rim and enjoy views into the crater, with admission already included in the tour.
6. Return to Reykjavík
After completing the Golden Circle, travel back towards Reykjavík for the final experience of the day. Your tour includes drop-off at FlyOver Iceland.
7. FlyOver Iceland Experience
Enter FlyOver Iceland for an immersive simulated flight experience over some of the country’s dramatic landscapes. Large-scale imagery, motion technology and sensory effects create the feeling of travelling above Iceland without boarding an aircraft.
This is an indoor attraction and simulated flight, not a sightseeing flight in a real aircraft.

The guided portion of the day concludes at FlyOver Iceland. According to the current package information, the attraction is approximately a 15-minute walk from central Reykjavík.

EXCELLENT Based on 232 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Anthony OVerified Tour guide with a sense of humour What can I say!! We were SO LUCKY with this tour, not only did the Northern Lights put on a show, the tour guide was funny/charismatic and charming!Posted on Tripadvisor Scott Van HornVerified Highly recommend for a day! Our guide Lina was amazing! She knew exactly how long we needed at each place and made sure we did not miss anything! Her timing was perfect to avoid the crowds. Her driving was impeccable too. At one place she took us to the top, let us walk downhill, then picked us up at the bottom! And she made sure she took special group photos of us along the way. It was an amazing day.Posted on Tripadvisor James HVerified A great tour with Lina Our tour guide, Lina, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, personable, flexible, and made the whole day a fun experience. I would highly recommend her, and this tour.Posted on Tripadvisor FLYJADEVerified Wonderful Golden Circle tour with Lina This tour of the Golden Circle was SO worth it! Our group of 6 saw so much in our 7 hour tour. We were visiting Reykjavík before getting on a cruise ship and wanted to see as much as possible. This was the best way to do it, as we saw more things than we would have compared to a tour with a big group. The day before, our driver Lina messaged me on whatsapp to confirm pickup location and time. The day of, she was there as promised. We saw everything we wanted to and Lina was very knowledgeable about each of the sights and surrounding areas during the drive (we were never bored). She was a great guide and answered all of our questions! I’m so happy we booked this experience to make the most of our trip.Posted on Tripadvisor Ross FVerified The Golden Circle Tour was a wonderful introduction to Iceland. As beautiful as previous visitors had said made all the better by our guide, Lina. Though not a native of Iceland, Lina knew a number of “off the beaten path” stops to add to the tour. Our family could not have enjoyed the tour more. Thanks Lina.Posted on Tripadvisor Bob IVerified Iceland Golden Circle Tour with Nice Travels Amazing day with our guide Bart. Saw so many amazing sites in Iceland. Waterfalls, volcano, Geyser, Tectonic plates, and ending with a dip in the Blue Lagoon. Nice Travel did a great job. Van was very clean and comfortable. Felt safe at all times. A trip I will never forget. I highly recommend Nice Travel group.Posted on Tripadvisor shuchita mVerified Great guide great service We did a ring road tour and were lucky to have Maria as our guide. Literally the ultimate tour guide. Born with generations of Icelandic blood, being a local gives her immense knowledge. She took us to some amazing additional spots apart from the typical tourist itinerary. Her humor helped gel with our group perfectly. She was attentive to every person's wishes in the group. She is truly a gem of Tourism Iceland.Posted on Tripadvisor namita pVerified Maria - The Simply Amazing Guide Iceland tour was a dream come true ! Our tour guide Maria was beyond superlatives. She made us tour every small little place that we wouldn’t ever have imagined to do ourselves….the tomato farm , the lupin fields, the brooks on the way & of course the must - see places of Iceland. She went out of the way to help do video and photo shoots in our chiffon Sarees by the black beach and waterfalls! We even danced and dedicated a song to her. She was so cooperative and proactive to make us feel comfortable. Highly recommended, especially for family tours .Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
