Reykjavik Golden Circle & Northern Lights Tour - Kerið Crater & Hot Chocolate

From the Golden Circle
to the Northern Lights in One Day

This combo tour allows you to fully experience Iceland's nature from morning to night. In the daytime, you'll tour the representative attractions of the Golden Circle, and after returning to Reykjavik, you'll have free time for dinner and rest.

In the evening, you'll join the Northern Lights tour again, venturing out of the city lights to find clear, dark skies. There are a few hours of free time between the day and evening tours, and the evening Northern Lights tour may be conducted with a separate bus and guide. 

Encounter Iceland's Nature at Þingvellir and Geysir

At Þingvellir National Park, marvel at the unique geological landscape where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. It's also known as the historic site where the Icelandic parliament, the Alþingi, was first established in 930 AD.

Next, head to the Geysir geothermal area to witness the steaming hot springs and the dynamic eruptions of the Strokkur geyser.

Explore Gullfoss Waterfall and Kerið Crater

Visit Gullfoss, meaning 'Golden Falls' in Icelandic, and witness the spectacular sight of massive water volumes cascading into the canyon.

Then, explore the Kerið volcanic crater, where the red volcanic rock contrasts beautifully with the crater lake. After seeing these iconic volcanic formations of the Golden Circle, you'll return to Reykjavik for some free time. MrShuttle
