Din Golden Circle-heldagstur starter med en bekvem afhentning i Reykjavik. Fra hovedstaden vil du udforske de klassiske Golden Circle-attraktioner: Thingvellir, Gullfoss, Geysir og Kerið-vulkankrateret. Plus, nyd yderligere fascinerende stop på nærliggende steder, hvilket gør dette til en uforglemmelig rejse gennem Islands mest ikoniske landskaber.
Vores første stop er kun 40 minutter fra Reykjavíks centrum. Þingvellir (Thingvellir) Nationalpark er et sted, hvor naturens vidundere blander sig problemfrit med rig historie, hvilket gør den til en af Islands mest fængslende attraktioner. Når du kommer ind i Þingvellir, vil du befinde dig i en sprækkedal, en kraftfuld påmindelse om jordens dynamiske skorpe. Det dramatiske landskab, formet af adskillelsen af de eurasiske og nordamerikanske tektoniske plader, fortæller en geologisk historie, der er undervejs i millioner af år. Men der er mere ved Þingvellir end dets geologiske vidundere. Her vil du opdage Althing, Islands første nationale parlament, sammen med den fortryllende Silfra-sprække, den imponerende Almannagjá-kløft og en fantastisk udsigt over Þingvallavatn-søen. Forbered dig på at fordybe dig i naturens vidundere og afsløre hemmelighederne ved dette ekstraordinære sted.
Vores eventyr vil derefter føre os til det betagende Gullfoss, passende navngivet "det gyldne vandfald", som ligger i udkanten af det islandske højland. Gullfoss strømmer yndefuldt ind i Hvíta-flodens canyon og fodres af Langjökull-gletsjeren mod nord, hvilket giver den en majestætisk aura. Som et vandfald i to niveauer ser det ud til, at Gullfoss forsvinder ned i dybet nedenunder, med dets vand på imponerende 32 meter. Vandfaldet byder på en fascinerende visning af naturens kraft, der viser de rå kræfter i islandske landskaber. Uanset årstiden betager Gullfoss med sin ærefrygtindgydende skønhed, hvilket gør det til et must-see destination på vores rejse gennem Islands naturlige vidundere.
Vores næste destination er Geysir geotermiske felt, hjemsted for en af verdens mest berømte gejsere - selve navnebroren til disse utrolige naturlige vidundere! Her har du chancen for at vandre blandt boblende vandbassiner, krystalklare geotermiske kilder og dampventiler. Hold øjnene åbne for det spektakulære syn af en gejser, der går i udbrud foran dig. Selvom det nu var i dvale, havde Geysir engang titlen som den højeste gejser i historien, og tårnede sig en imponerende 122 meter (400 fod) op i himlen. Men frygt ej, for Geysirs lillebror, Strokkur, er trådt ind i rampelyset. Som den mest aktive gejser i Island, sætter Strokkur et fascinerende show i gang, der går i udbrud hvert 4. til 10. minut, hvilket sikrer, at du har masser af muligheder for at se dens betagende udbrud.
Efter din gyldne cirkel-tur bliver du sat af i Reykjavík i nogen tid for at spise middag og nyde byen, før du bliver hentet senere på aftenen til nordlysjagten!
Når du er blevet samlet igen fra et udpeget afhentningssted, tager vi dig til nogle af de bedste skjulte steder på landet for at se nordlys på nattehimlen. Det er altid et ærefrygtindgydende og magisk øjeblik at se deres glitrende, juvel-lyse farver. Du vil ofte se grøn og gul, nogle gange hvid og blå, og nogle gange violet, lilla og rosa. Selvom vi ikke kan garantere, at du vil se lysene, da de er et naturligt fænomen, holder vores guider nøje øje med nordlys og vejrudsigter for at give dig den bedste chance. Din guide vil evaluere vejrforhold og KPI-data for at finde det optimale sted til at se nordlyset. Når du er ankommet til det bedste sted, har du mulighed for at få taget dit billede med nordlyset, nyde varm chokolade og nogle chokoladegodbidder, holde dig varm med uldtæpper og nyde skuet over dig. Turen kommer tilbage til Reykjavík omkring midnat, hvor du bliver sat af ved eller meget tæt på dit hotel.

Spent 8 days touring Iceland and searching for Northern Lights. While the organized lights tours (2) didn't offer any rewards, we saw a great display of lights on our 2nd night out. The tour guide (Vjeran) was knowledgable and informative and very fun. He kept us all on track at a good pace. Accommodations and restaurant choices were also excellent.
Dear Traveler, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that Vjeran helped make your Northern Lights and Golden Circle adventure so enjoyable, and that you loved other aspects of the tour as well. We would love to welcome you back to Iceland for more amazing experiences! — Arctic Adventures Team
Golden circle tour very nice. Silvana the guide very professional... Good explanations. Aurora tour disappointing... The guide made only one stop. No attempts to search for best spots... We left at 20h30 were back at hotel at 22h30. I saw more aurora from downtown reykiawick Tuesday night.
Dear Traveler, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! It is good to hear that you enjoyed the Golden Circle with Silvana. We also appreciate your feedback on the Aurora tour as we’re always looking for ways to make the experience even better for everyone chasing the Northern Lights. Hope to see you back on another adventure soon! – Arctic Adventures Team
Never got picked up for the Golden Circle touring even while waiting at the designated pick up point for over an hour. Poor communication from the travel agent despite calling 12 times before, during and after pick up times.
Dear Traveller, we sincerely apologize for the experience you had with the Golden Circle tour. This situation is completely unacceptable and it is not the level of service we aim to provide. Should you wish to discuss this matter or if there is anything we can do to address your concerns, please feel free to reach out to us via email at info@adventures.is.
Amazing trip out with a fantastic guide . It was a long freezing night but the guide kept our spirits up with laughter and spirits 😀😀he went out of his way to make sure we saw the lights
We had an amazing time on this tour! The scenery was breathtaking. Our guide, Boga was outstanding. She was the tour guide, driver and luggage handler. Like the Viking queen she is! She made sure we didn't miss a thing. We even had a snow storm one day and she was a pro driving through it. I never once felt unsafe. She came up with little extra stops for pictures or just to see something she thought we would like. And we always did! Our contact at Nordic Visitor, Clarence, was amazingly helpful. Especially with a payment error, booking excursions, and any question we had. He was very prompt in responding to emails. All in all a fantastic trip and I would definitely do a tour with them again.
How can you see so much of Iceland in a short time- use Artic Adventures!! Our guide for the Golden Circle was wonderful, kind and very timely to assure we saw the most in the short daylight hours of Iceland's November days. He was a very safe driver and so pleasant, it was like having your favorite uncle take you around. He even shared chocolate with the tour! Hjortur was our Northern Lights guide. He was FABULOUS- we enjoyed his great sense of humor, speedy driving and knowledge. My cheeks hurt from laughing! He took so many wonderful pictures for the bus creating memories we will never forget. There is not one iota of a moment that he could have done any better. Arctic Adventures- 100% the best we could ever ask for!
Late review but we took this tour on the 19th of February for my 23rd birthday and couldn't have had a better time. Pickup was quick and easy, and our tour guide Mitch was so lovely, kind, and knowledgeable, and I learnt more about Iceland on this tour than I did throughout the entirety of my trip. We had enough time at the stops to see everything we wanted to and it was just amazing. The second half of the tour was good. The tour guide didn't really talk much so it was a very different experience to the afternoon, but he was still really nice and he waited until 12:30PM for us to finally see the lights. Definitely would book with this company again, love the small groups and how organized it is :)
The geyser and the views were amazing, however the guide Temu was not very engaging. He seems annoyed the whole length of the trip. Additionally, since the trip started at noon the weather seems to be warm. We were boiling inside the coach and he seems not a bit concerned. We learned from another guest that the northern lights tour in the evening was cancelled but did not receive an email of cancellation. It is only when I asked the guide Temu if he is going to pick us up again, he said it was cancelled and advised us to just email the tour operator. The only good thing was that the refund for the cancelled trip was quick and hassle free
Very cozy and amazing tour, our guide was really friendly. He did an extra stop to pet the super fluffy icelandic horses! You see the geysir and the wonderful gullfoss waterfalls. Our night tour for nirthern lights was cancelled because of bad weather but the afternoon only was absolutely enough to spend an unforgettable day!
Dear Climber34905279252, Thank you for this wonderful review. We are very happy to know you had a great time. We can't wait for you to come back and have another great adventure! Warm wishes from Iceland.
Did a great job showing all the sights in less than a day. Didn't quite get to see the green and purple Northern Lights you see in photos, but we definitely saw something.
