Golden Circle, Glacier Snowmobiling & Northern Lights Tour

The iconic Golden Circle is a perfect start to our Icelandic adventure! This 300 km (190 mi) circular route takes you to the three top attractions in Iceland: 

The first stop is Þingvellir National Park. You will find yourself standing in the exact location where the first Icelandic parliament gathered a thousand years ago. But that's not all. The park is also the only place on Earth where you can witness the boundary between two continents on land and walk in the valley between the two tectonic plates! 

The next stop is the Geysir hot spring area. It nests in Haukadalur valley, which is famous for its geothermal activity. Witness the Great Geysir, one of the oldest geysers in Iceland, and see the country’s most active geyser Strokkur, erupting to a height of around 40 m (131 ft) into the air every 7-10 minutes!

Our snowmobiling adventure starts at the base camp beside the Langjökull glacier. You will receive everything you need for this experience: warm overalls, gloves, and helmets. Our professional guides will show you how to operate the snowmobile safely, and the journey will begin!

Enjoy a whole hour of riding through the magnificent landscapes of Iceland’s second-biggest glacier and create unforgettable memories!

The last stop of the tour will be at Kerið crater, a striking volcanic caldera known for its vivid contrasts and otherworldly beauty. Formed over 3,000 years ago, this 55 m (180 ft) deep crater is filled with a bright aquamarine lake, surrounded by red volcanic rock and patches of green moss. A short walk along the rim offers panoramic views of the crater’s dramatic slopes, while a pathway leading down allows you to stand right at the water’s edge—a peaceful and unforgettable moment to close the circle. 

Note: There will be enough time to rest and enjoy lunch and snacks after the Golden Circle excursion. Remember to bring your own meals, as lunch is not included in the tour. You can also purchase food on-site.  

After an exciting and adventurous day, it’s time to relax and explore the magic of Icelandic nights. Following our exhilarating snowmobile drive, we’ll return to Reykjavik for a quick meal. Then, we’ll journey to a remote spot away from city lights to start our Aurora hunt.

We’ll travel by minibus, which allows us to access offbeat locations that are inaccessible to larger buses. Once we reach our destination, the guide will take pictures of you under the Northern Lights, preserving this unforgettable moment.

Note: The destination is flexible as it depends on the weather forecast for the specific day. Our experienced guides are specially trained to track the most promising places to witness the Northern Lights.

Snowmobiling Activity

Remember, you must have a valid driver’s license to ride a snowmobile.

If you don’t have a valid driver’s license, you can book an extra guide to drive for you for an additional fee. To find out the cost and availability, make sure to contact us.

The snowmobiling tour is priced for two people sharing one vehicle.

Northern Lights

As the success of the Northern Lights tour is heavily dependent on weather conditions, we can’t guarantee that the Aurora Borealis will be visible on our trip. In this case, we offer you a free-of-charge Northern Lights trip retry valid for 3 years. Please contact us to re-book.
