Golden Circle Tour

We'll pick you up and begin the journey to the Thingvellir National Park, taking the Golden Circle Tour. This tour will take you to some of the most spectacular landscapes of Iceland, such as the Gullfoss Falls and the Geysir geyser fields

We'll be back in Reykjavík around 6:30 pm, approximately. Afterward, you'll have between 3 and 6 hours of free time to relax and have dinner at your own pace before we begin the northern lights tour.

Northern Lights Tour

After lunch, we'll pick you up at the meeting point between 8 and 10 pm, depending on the season of the year. After booking, we'll contact you to establish the activity's exact starting time with enough time.

We'll leave Reykjavík behind, heading to an area with minimal light pollution, where we'll admire the northern lights in optimal conditions. The itinerary is the same as our Northern Lights Tour.

The tour ends back at the meeting point in Reykjavík after 3 hours.

Important Info

As this is a natural phenomenon, it's impossible to be certain you will be able to see the lights. If they can't be seen on your tour, we'll offer you another opportunity to see them without an additional fee, but unfortunately may not offer a refund.

Pickup Info

During the booking process, you’ll see a dropdown menu with different pickup hotels in Reykjavík. Next to each hotel, the nearest bus stop will be shown, which is where you’ll need to go. If your hotel isn’t listed, you’ll need to choose the closest one. You’ll also have the option of going directly to the BSÍ Bus Terminal, located at Vatnsmýrarvegur, Reykjavík 101, IS.
