Exciting 10-Hour Golden Circle and FlyOver Iceland Tour from Reykjavik

Dive into Iceland’s top attractions on this exciting 10-hour Golden Circle tour with an immersive experience at FlyOver Iceland in Reykjavik. This tour offers a perfect mix of scenic exploration and cutting-edge virtual adventure, making it a must for anyone wanting to experience Iceland from multiple perspectives.

The journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik or a nearby designated tour bus stop. You’ll travel in a spacious, comfortable bus designed for a smooth ride through Iceland’s diverse landscapes.

Your adventure is guided by an experienced local expert who will bring the sites to life with engaging stories and deep knowledge. The guide’s insights not only add context to the sights you’ll see but also connect you with Iceland’s rich history, unique geology, and vibrant culture.

The first part of the tour explores the Golden Circle, a route renowned for its popular and stunning landscapes. Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a place where Iceland’s history and geology converge. Unlike any other place on Earth, Thingvellir lies in a rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. 

This dramatic setting is not only a geological wonder but also a key historical site where Icelanders established the world’s first democratic parliament over 1,000 years ago. 

Next, you’ll journey to the Geysir geothermal area, where the earth is very much alive. The area is named after the now-dormant Great Geysir, but it’s Strokkur, a nearby geyser, that steals the show today with its regular eruptions every few minutes. 

The tour continues to Gullfoss, a powerful waterfall known for its size and force. Unlike waterfalls where water cascades gently, Gullfoss features a multi-tiered vast drop at 105 feet (32 meters) that plunges into a deep canyon.

Before returning to Reykjavik, you’ll stop at the Kerid crater, a volcanic marvel formed around 6,500 years ago. The crater is particularly striking due to its vibrant red slopes and the serene blue lake that sits at its base. 

Back in Reykjavik, the tour concludes with a visit to FlyOver Iceland, located at the Old Harbor. This innovative attraction uses cutting-edge technology to simulate the experience of flying over Iceland’s most breathtaking landscapes. 

As you’re suspended in front of a 20-meter spherical screen, the sensation of soaring over volcanoes, glaciers, and fjords is enhanced by wind, mist, and scents. This incredible experience at FlyOver Iceland will take around 35 minutes.
