What to expect
Your winter adventure combo tour starts with an afternoon pick up at 1:00 PM from authorized Reykjavik pick up points. From Reykjavik, you will head towards the Golden Circle, the historical and geological site of Thingvellir National Park. Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for holding one of the world’s oldest still existing parliaments, Althingi. Situated between the North American an Eurasian tectonic plates it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. Make sure to drink in the history of Thingvellir before continuing your Golden Circle journey.
Next up is Geysir hot spring area. Experience gurgling geysers and spouting Strokkur, spouting water every 6-10 minutes sometimes up to 40 meters high. The last stop of the Golden Circle is Gullfoss waterfall, better known as the Golden Waterfall. This stunning waterfall is one of Iceland’s most renowned sites. Cascading water elegantly down a wide curved staircase. Gullfoss is the perfect photo opportunity, so make sure to bring your camera.
After exploring all that the famous Golden Circle route offers, you will be dropped off at your original pickup location. You will have free time to get some dinner, and then picked up again from your original pick-up location for the Northern Lights adventure.
Your expert northern lights guide will take you to the best spots to see the lights out in the countryside. Since the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and very hard to predict your guide will decide which spot will provide you with the best opportunity to catch the dancing lights.
Due to this, there is no guarantee that the Northern Lights will be visible, but our team will always do their best to provide a great experience. If the Northern Lights tour is cancelled by the operator due to weather or unfavourable viewing conditions, customers may choose to reschedule this part of the tour free of charge (subject to availability) or receive a full refund for the cancelled portion. If the Northern Lights tour operates as planned but no lights are seen, no refund is issued; however, customers are offered a free rebooking for the Northern Lights tour, subject to availability.
You will return back to Reykjavik around midnight where your guide will drop you off to your original pick-up point. It is important to note that this tour is a combination tour of 2 separate tours, that is the popular Golden Circle sightseeing and an exciting hunt for the Northern Lights.
Terms & conditions

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed, as visibility depends on weather and cloud conditions.
