Private Golden Circle tour with Monster truck Glacier ride

The Golden Circle tour is one of the most popular sightseeing tours in Iceland. The main highlights of the route are Þingvellir National Park, Geyser Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss waterfall. To make it even more fun and memorable we have combined it with a glacier experience.

After exploring the classic sightseeing part, our glacier guide takes you on an unforgettable adventure to Langjökull glacier – the second biggest glacier in Iceland.

Fun fact, the ride to the glacier is operated by the biggest glacier truck in the world!

Þingvellir National Park

The first stop of the day is Þingvellir National Park, where you will have a chance to walk between the tectonic rift where North American and Euro-Asian plates meet. You will also have a chance to see the site of the first parliament (known as Alþing) in the world. That’s actually where the name Þingvellir (e. Fields of the parliament) comes from.

Geysir Geothermal Area

From there we will head to a very active place Haukadalur (Geysir) geothermal area, where you will find Strokkur hot spring. It is the most active geyser in Iceland that shoots hot water as high as 20-30 meters (65-98ft), approx. every 5-10 minutes. There are over 20 other sleeping geysers, including the cute Litli Geysir that looks like a boiling pot. Watch out for getting too close to it, its water temperature is about 100°C (212°F).

Gullfoss Waterfall

To cool down, we continue the drive to Gullfoss waterfall, the second biggest waterfall in Iceland. In the summer, if you stand close enough to the falls, you will feel fresh mist touching your face.

At this point, you have covered all three main attractions of the famous Golden Circle route. Get ready for the glacier!

Langjökull glacier

At the Gullfoss parking lot, you will meet our glacier guide who will take you on an unforgetful monster truck adventure to Langjökull Glacier located just 45min. away. The glacier activity is approximately 4 hours long. You will have a chance to get out and walk on the glacier and if the weather allows, we will explore an ice cave.

Please note that the glacier activity is run in a shared group.
