Itinerary
Explore a few of Iceland‘s most famous landmarks on Golden Circle Direct as well as go on a search for the northern lights in one day. Begin the day at 12:30 with a Golden Circle tour, where you will visit Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Þingvellir National Park.
Geysir is the place from which all other geysers in the world get their name. The famous Geysir does not often erupt anymore but the smaller, but very impressive, Strokkur erupts every 4-8 minutes and shoots a column of water up to 40 metres up in the air.
Gullfoss waterfall is a part of the glacial river Hvítá which gets its water from Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Iceland. The step-waterfall is quite the sight, and from many viewpoints it looks like the waterfall falls straight into an abyss, but in reality, it falls into a crevice which is 32 metres deep.
The last stop of the day is at Þingvellir which is known for being one of the very few places in the world where you can see the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates above ground (other places are all in Iceland). The park is a UNESCO world heritage site.
You will arrive back in Reykjavík around 18:30. You will have a few hours to spend before you join our Northern Lights tour.
The three-hour long Northern Lights tour will take you out of the city for the best possible view of the lights. The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole.
The locations visited during the Northern Lights tour vary from day to day depending on weather conditions. Because this tour is weather dependent, sightings are not guaranteed. However, if you do not see any northern lights during this tour, you are welcome to join the tour again, free of charge. Indicated return times may vary if the activity is good.
Available departures: Golden Circle Direct: 12:30 - 18:30
The Northern Lights tour: 21:00 - 00:00 (1 October - 15 March) 22:00 - 01:00 (25 Aug - 30 Sept & 16 March - 15 April)

This tour depends on weather and activity, so sightings are not guaranteed.
Indicated return times can vary due to road & weather conditions.
The tour is scheduled daily, however, we do cancel the tour if the forecast for the weather and the aurora is not promising enough.
FAQ: Why was the tour cancelled tonight? A team of experts considers the weather and aurora forecast every day to see if the conditions are favourable or not. If the odds are against the aurora being visible for some reason, we cancel the tour. If we cancel the tour and you are unable to attend at a later date you can get a refund. How far away from the city do you go and where? The average time heading out to the first stop is usually within an hour. The direction of the tour is decided shortly before departure and based on the weather forecast. They took my voucher on the tour last night so I don't have my booking number. If you don't have your voucher in your email and no information about your booking number, please call us and have the information ready on when you were originally booked and under which name your tour was booked. When is the best time of the year to see the lights? From late August until mid-April. Why do I not see the lights as in the photos? The human eye usually sees the northern lights as faint colours of light green, grey and white. Camera sensors do not have our eye limitations as they have long exposure features and other factors.
