Day 1: Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon & Reykjavik
Stop At: Golden Circle Route, Iceland
Your 3-day adventure starts with an afternoon pick up from authorized Reykjavik pick up points. From the capital, you will head towards the famous Golden Circle.

Take a walk in the rift valley that has been formed by the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drifting apart before making your way to Geysir Hot Spring area. At Geysir experience gurgling and spouting geysers spout waters up to 40 meters high. Geysir is a favorite stop for many along the popular Golden Circle route.
Next up is Gullfoss. This mighty waterfall sometimes referred to as the Golden Falls is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. This iconic waterfall cascading 32m in two stages is the perfect stop for a great photo so make sure to bring your camera along.

- We use a couple of different ice caves for this tour. Ice caves are ever-changing and unpredictable natural phenomena. We usually visit the Crystal Cave at Breiðmerkurjökull during this tour but when the Crystal Cave is inaccessible we will most likely visit Katla Ice Cave. Which ice cave is chosen will however always depend upon the conditions and safety considerations on the day, sometimes a different ice cave will be visited. If conditions do not allow us to visit an ice cave a glacier hike will be offered as an alternative.
