Tour Description
Experience the very best of Iceland in a single, action-packed day with this Golden Circle, glacier snowmobiling, and Northern Lights combo tour from Reykjavík. Designed for travelers who want maximum adventure and value, this unforgettable journey combines Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route, a thrilling glacier experience, and a magical evening chasing the Aurora Borealis.
Your day begins with a guided drive along the legendary Golden Circle, where you’ll visit three of Iceland’s most iconic natural attractions. Walk between continents at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where erupting hot springs showcase Iceland’s raw geothermal power, and finish the loop at the mighty Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the country’s most breathtaking cascades.
Next, the adventure shifts gears as you head to Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap. After gearing up and receiving a full safety briefing, you’ll ride a snowmobile across the vast, snow-covered glacier landscape. Zoom past ice formations, volcanic craters, and sweeping mountain views on an exhilarating one-hour snowmobile ride — an absolute highlight for thrill-seekers.
After returning to Reykjavík for a short break, your day concludes with a Northern Lights hunt. Leaving city lights behind, your expert guide will track aurora forecasts and weather conditions to maximize your chances of seeing the elusive Aurora Borealis. If the lights appear, you’ll enjoy front-row views of one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena — with free photos taken by your guide to capture the moment forever.

Reykjavík
Reykjavík city centre is approximately forty five minutes by road from Keflavik airport and only 5 minutes away from the cruise terminal on the edge of town. Swim in open-air pools heated by the very geothermal springs that inspired Reykjavik's name. Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is where minerals bubble up from 5,000ft below the earth's surface. The charming old quarter of Reykjavík has colourful wooden houses and narrow streets. Visit the impressive volcanic craters of the Heidmork conservation area, and enjoy a stop at The Pearl, a remarkable and unique building, built in 1988.
