Description

See the three classic Golden Circle sights and the colourful Kerid crater on a private day with your own driver-guide. Walk between two tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur erupt at the Geysir geothermal area and feel the spray at Gullfoss waterfall, then finish at Kerid, a volcanic crater with a bright blue lake. The day runs at your pace: stop for photos whenever you like and spend longer where you enjoy it most. Choose a sedan for 1-3 travellers or a van for up to 8. Your guide collects you from your Reykjavik accommodation with a VAREN name tablet, helps with your luggage and has water on request.
