Golden Circle
Private Snowmobile Tour on Langjokull Glacier

Today we explore the famous Golden Circle. This route encompasses many of Iceland’s most famous landmarks: Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the location of the world's first parliament; Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfalls. At Thingvellir National Park history and nature meets. This is the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface and forms a rift valley between tectonic plates. Filled in the fissure created by the separation of the plates is glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.

The history was made at Thingvellir when in 930AD was formed Althing, the oldest parliament still in operation. Therefore Thingvellir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage for both, natural and cultural importance.

At Geysir geothermal area Strokkur, "the butter churn”, erupts about every 4-8 minutes. The big Geyser, which gave name to all other geysers, has been in recent years inactive.

Gullfoss is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá River which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day, shimmering rainbow can be seen over the falls.

Optional Inside the Volcano

The Inside the Volcano Tour

To be able to experience this wonder, all you need is the willingness to do a moderate 45–50 minute hike (to get to the crater) and the guts to descend 120 meters/400 feet to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift. The hike to the volcano is an integral part of the tour, not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but also because it’s one of only two ways of getting to the base of the volcano. The other option is to use a helicopter.

Supplied

  • All safety gear, helmets, harnesses, etc.

What do I need to bring?

  • Good shoes – We recommend wearing hiking boots on the tour since the trail is rocky and can get wet and muddy on a rainy day.
  • Outdoor clothing. The weather in the mountains can be very different from the conditions in the city. It’s important for guests to realize that the weather is very unpredictable, and you should definitely bring warm, rainproof clothes with you, even if the weather in Reykjavík is nice and the forecast looks good. Not least because it’s always the same temperature inside the crater – about 3°C (37°F). That’s cold!
  • A camera. You will want to remember this trip. Yes, you can take as many pictures as you want!
  • A good spirit. This tour is all about having fun.

Your stay in Iceland is incomplete without a taste of our infamous bathing culture. Indulge in the refreshing 7-Step Ritual, blending warm and cold water therapies, steam baths, and fresh ocean air. Feel the stresses of travel melt away as you take in the North Atlantic’s beauty at one of our favorite spa.
