This itinerary is designed as a two-day adventure but offers the flexibility to expand based on your schedule and interests. Whether you prefer a guided experience or the independence of a self-drive tour, our team can tailor the journey to your preferences. Arrival and departure days, along with any extra time you wish to add, will be thoughtfully organized to ensure a stress-free trip. If time allows, we suggest setting aside at least one full day in Reykjavík to soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere and explore its nearby attractions.
Day 1 | Explore The Golden Circle
Embark on Iceland’s famous Golden Circle tour, a day trip packed with natural wonders and cultural history. The journey begins at Thingvellir National Park, where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and visit the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD.
Next, experience the raw power of Icelandic geothermal energy at the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to the active Strokkur geyser, which erupts spectacularly every few minutes. Conclude your adventure at Gullfoss Waterfall, where glacial waters tumble dramatically into a rugged canyon, creating a breathtaking sight.
The Golden Circle can be comfortably completed in one day, whether you choose a guided tour or drive yourself. Start early to avoid crowds and dress in layers to stay warm and dry, as Icelandic weather can be unpredictable.
Be sure to bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery, and take time to soak in the unique atmosphere at each site. With its rich history and natural beauty, the Golden Circle offers an unforgettable glimpse into the heart of Iceland.

01 Day
Explore The Golden Circle
We’re starting from the bustling city of Reykjavik, venturing straight into the heart of Iceland’s incredible beauty – the Golden Circle.
Stop 1 - Thingvellir National Park
First up is Þingvellir National Park. Picture this – we’re walking in the middle of a rift valley, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. It’s not just about the stunning views here, it’s also about standing on a spot that has seen centuries of history unfold. Quite a start, right?
Stop 2 - Geysir Geothermal Area
But we’re just getting warmed up. Next, we’re off to the Geysir geothermal area. Imagine standing next to a geyser right before it erupts, feeling the thrill as the water and steam shoot up into the sky. It’s Mother Nature showing off, and trust me, it’s a sight you won’t forget!
Stop 3 - Gullfoss Waterfall
Then, we’re heading to Gullfoss waterfall. This place is seriously impressive – the sheer power of the water, the deafening roar, the mist spraying your face – it’s going to take your breath away. No matter what the weather’s like, Gullfoss always steals the show.
Stop 4 - The 5 Million Star Hotel
As night falls, you’ll settle into your private bubble — a snug little world surrounded by trees and silence. There’s no city glow out here, just the sound of the wind and the vastness of the Icelandic sky above. Through the clear walls, you’ll watch clouds drift, stars flicker to life, and maybe even catch the aurora painting the horizon. It’s part comfort, part wilderness — and completely unforgettable.
