Golden Circle & South Coast combined day tour

On this combined Golden Circle & South Coast tour we wisit many of the most popular attractions in all Iceland – in one day. 

The two most popular daytours in Iceland combined into one – a little long summerday but after all we have 24 daylight.

Þingvellir National Park with all its beatiful nature and the tectonic plates is the first stop and from there we go on to Geysir geothermal area with the magnificent and erupting Strokkur hot spring – and just few minutes away the amazing Gullfoss. 

Friðheimar tomato- and horsefarm – very famous for its tasty and authentic tomato soup is on our way from the Golden Circle to the South Coast and a ideal stop for lunch. 

As we drive into a very different landscape with views to glaciers and mountains we will visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall – maybe even walk behind it. Skógarfoss waterfall and the Black Sand Beach also awaits us before we head back to Reykjavík after this memorable daytour.

Trip Highlights

Overview

The two most popular daytours in Iceland for decades combined in to one – magnificent nature, tectonic plates, erupting hot spring, three breathtaking waterfalls, glacier view, black sand beaches – this tour has it all and is the perfect choice for those who want to see more of Iceland which can be done in summer when we have 24 hour daylight. 

Þingvellir National Park our first stop with its breathtaking nature and of course a Games of Thrones site – you might recognise some parts of The Wall. To walk down the Almannagjá tectonic rift looking upp the wall – seeing how nature just takes its course no matter what is a experience you don’t want to miss. 

Geysir geothermal area has been active for a long time and Strokkur, the erupting hot spring is of course the main attraction erupting every few minutes up in to the air. 

Gullfoss or the Golden waterfall as it can be translated is by many said to be the most beatiful waterfall in Iceland and we have many to choose from. You have to be the judge of that after visiting on this Golden Circle and South Coast daytour.

Friðheimar greenhouse, restaurant, tomato farm and horse farm is a ideal stop for lunch on our way from the Golden Circle to the South Coast. The tomato soup with bread is the obvious choice and for drinks…well…tomato beer or on of the many Mary’s available at the bar.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skógarfoss waterfall will be our first stops at the South Coast of Iceland followed by the Black Sand Beach which is so much more than just a beach as you will find out.
