Golden Circle and the Langjokull Glacier
If you have just one day at your disposal to visit Iceland, the discovery of the “Golden Circle” is a must.
This trip will allow you to discover the Thingvellir national park, representing both a historical and a geological site of the utmost importance, the Gullfoss spectacular waterfall, and the atypical site of Geysir, world-widely known for its hot springs and the wide range of geothermal phenomena. Then, we take the route leading to the Langjokull glacier. If you want, optionally, you can drive a snowmobile on the glacier for an hour, accompanied by a guide. Later, on our way back to Reykavik, we pass by the beautiful Faxi waterfall and the Hveragerdi village.
Experience many of Iceland's natural gems in a magnificent day tour – Do it in style and comfort in our Super Jeeps.
