Reykjavík: Golden Circle, Gullfoss, Geysir & Kerið Day Tour
Pickup included · 11 hours
Explore Iceland's iconic Golden Circle on a 9-hour small-group tour from Reykjavík. Visit Þingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur erupt at Geysir, marvel at Gullfoss waterfall, stop at Friðheimar tomato farm, and walk the rim of Kerið crater lake.
This 9-hour small-group tour covers the full sweep of Iceland's Golden Circle, combining the route's classic landmarks with two distinctive extras: a lunch stop at Friðheimar tomato farm and a visit to the vivid volcanic crater of Kerið.
The journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, the only place on Earth where you can stand between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The park is also the founding site of Iceland's first parliament, the Alþingi, making it as historically significant as it is geologically dramatic. Inside the park, the photogenic Öxarárfoss waterfall tumbles through a lava canyon.
From Þingvellir the tour continues to Efstidalur dairy farm, where you can meet the resident cows and sample fresh Icelandic dairy products, before heading to the Geysir geothermal area. Here the Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, sending a column of boiling water skyward. Nearby, Gullfoss — one of Iceland's most celebrated waterfalls — thunders into a deep glacial canyon.
Lunch is at Friðheimar, a working tomato greenhouse where farm-to-table dining is taken literally. The day closes with a walk around the rim of Kerið crater lake, whose rust-red volcanic walls frame a striking turquoise pool. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík are included, and free Wi-Fi is available on board throughout the tour.

Your guide collects guests from Reykjavík hotels and designated city bus stops in the morning. The small-group format keeps numbers low, so you receive attentive, personalised commentary throughout the 9-hour day.
The tour operates in all weather conditions. Dress in layers, wear sturdy footwear, and bring a camera.
The small-group format is the defining advantage of this tour. With fewer passengers than a standard coach excursion, you get closer access to each site, more time for questions, and a more relaxed pace overall.
The itinerary goes beyond the standard Golden Circle by adding Friðheimar farm and Kerið crater — two stops that many comparable tours omit. Free Wi-Fi on board, a professional local guide, and door-to-door Reykjavík pickup and drop-off are all included in the price, keeping logistics straightforward. The minimum age is 4 years, making this a practical choice for families travelling with older children.
