Highlights
- Thingvellir National Park - Embark on an adventure to discover Iceland’s greatest pride: its stunning natural landscapes. Your guide will share fascinating tales, including the story of Iceland’s victory over England in the 2016 European Cup, their second greatest pride. Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a site rich in history and natural beauty. This remarkable location is the best place to learn about Iceland’s history and heritage. It was here that Iceland’s first parliament was established, and many significant events in the nation’s history took place, making Thingvellir a cherished spot for all Icelanders.
- Geysir - Next, you’ll visit Geysir, the hot spring that lends its name to all geysers worldwide. Located in the geothermal area of Haukadalur Valley, this hot spring’s spectacular eruptions, shooting water meters into the air, are a sight to behold. It’s an experience that words can’t fully capture—you have to see it to believe it.
- Gullfoss Waterfall - Your journey continues to Gullfoss, also known as the Golden Waterfall. This breathtaking waterfall is one of Iceland’s most magnificent natural wonders. Its awe-inspiring beauty will leave you speechless, and you could easily spend hours admiring it.
- Kerid Crater - Next on the itinerary is Kerid, a volcanic crater featuring a stunning lake. Unlike most of Iceland’s terrain, which is characterized by black caldera, stones, and sand, Kerid boasts red caldera and rocks, adding to its unique charm.
- Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin - Finally, you’ll visit Iceland’s best-known hidden gem, the Secret Lagoon. Soaking in the warm waters amidst Icelandic nature is an unforgettable experience.
In between these stops, you’ll enjoy a lunch break and have the opportunity to sample Iceland’s unique whiskey.

Amazing Tour with friends - We did the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Private Tour with Reykjavik Outventure, and it was an absolutely spectacular experience.
Right from the start, we were struck by the beauty of the places we visited. Þingvellir National Park, the majestic Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysirs geothermal area left us marvelling at every stop. Each place had its own unique atmosphere.
Our guide was a real treasure. With his experience and knowledge, he not only took us to the best places, but also told us fascinating stories about Iceland's history and culture. His explanations made all the difference, adding an extra dimension to our adventure. I highly recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Private Tour by Reykjavik Outventure to any group of friends who want to explore Iceland in an authentic and memorable way. It was a journey that will remain etched in our hearts forever.

Golden Circle Private Tour (family of 4 with 2 teenagers) - We chose to do a private Golden Circle tour with Outventure because 1. the cost for 4 adults was not much more than 4 seats on the small tour 2. we wanted to cover as much ground as possible in one day (daylight 11am-4pm in January) 3. we wanted to make the most of our first trip as a family to Iceland 4. their customer service pre-trip was fabulous - they even replied on New Year's Day 5. they were a recommended provider by our hotel 6. we didn't feel confident driving ourselves in minus 10 and snow.
Our guide Asgeir collected us promptly at the hotel, at our chosen time of 10am so everyone had a lie in ahead of a whole day out, drove safely everywhere, and was a mine of historical and cultural information. I enjoyed asking questions about the areas we travelled through and learned a lot during the tour. We visited the National Park, the waterfall, and the Geysirs, all at an unhurried pace, and allowing for extra time at the gift shop he recommended. It was the small things that made a difference - we would not have chosen the lamb soup for lunch at Gullfoss cafe but he was right it was absolutely delicious, and he showed us the different areas at the Geysirs we would have missed, and having the description as an easy conversation as we walked around the National Park. He was particularly helpful to me as I trod very gingerly over the ice in some areas and we all went at my pace not a big group pace. There was not one question we had he could not answer.
I would recommend this tour if you want to travel in comfort, at your own speed, and with full access to a charming, warm guide, it was better than having a guide book. We felt well looked after from enquiring about the trip to being dropped back at our hotel at the end.

Falls, Food Culture, Geysers and Geothermic Pools - Outventure tours picked us up right at our hotel. Jacob was our tour guide for the day and he was wonderful and knowledable. The tour takes you the national park, Pingvellir where you are witness to the forces of tectonic plates and the history of early Icelandic government. Next, a visit to an Icelandic farm and to learn about Skyr, icelandic yogurt and lunch of hearty soup, bread and homemade ice cream (yum). We finished the day enjoying soaking in the oldest geothermic pool on the island. We never felt rushed and truly enjoyed the insightful commentary of our guide Jacob. In the winter this tour gives you an opportunity to see sights and enjoy the food of Iceland you might not if you were driving your own car.

The lights !! Omg the lights -
We are so glad we booked the golden circle (wed 29 jan) and northern lights (tues 28 jan) tour with this company !! Well worth the money.
The guides were fantastic Omar and Kristinn always informative, joking, friendly, polite and very patient with us.
Nothing was to much.
I would tell everybody to checkout reykjavik out venture
We booked through the tourist office and they did a great job of pointing us in your direction.
We loved it !!!!
And also ladies when Kristinn enters the secret lagoon the temperature rises ( and we don’t just mean the water )
And the lights OMG !
This company gave us the best memories!
Thanks from
