Immerse yourself in the stunning nature of Iceland on this 10-hour tour that combines the classic Golden Circle route with a visit to Reykjavik’s Perlan museum. This tour will bring you close to the country’s most famous natural attractions and allow you to learn about them through exhibitions.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik or a nearby designated tour bus stop. A spacious coach will transport you comfortably throughout the day, ensuring a relaxing journey as you explore some of Iceland’s most iconic sites.

This tour provides in-depth insights into Iceland’s history, geology, and culture through a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. Your guide’s commentary will bring each destination to life for an educational and enjoyable trip.

The first part of your tour covers the renowned Golden Circle. Starting at Thingvellir National Park, you’ll explore a site of immense geological and historical importance. Here, you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and visit the location of Iceland’s first parliament, the Althing. 

Next, you’ll head to the Geysir geothermal area to witness the Strokkur geyser’s powerful eruptions. The geothermal field is a fascinating display of Iceland’s volcanic activity, with bubbling hot springs and steaming vents adding to the otherworldly atmosphere.

The tour continues to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. The mist from the waterfall often creates rainbows on sunny days, making it a perfect spot for photography.

Finally, you’ll visit Kerid, a volcanic crater lake with impressive red slopes. Kerid provides a unique glimpse into Iceland’s volcanic history with sightseeing and hiking opportunities.

After exploring the Golden Circle, you’ll return to Reykjavik for the second part of your tour. The coach will drop you off directly at the Perlan museum, where you can dive into the Wonders of Iceland exhibition.

Perlan, an iconic landmark in Reykjavik, is known for its unique architecture and stunning city views. The museum houses various exhibitions highlighting Iceland’s natural wonders, with one of the main attractions being the man-made ice cave, where you can experience the feeling of walking through a glacier. 

For an unforgettable visual experience, Perlan’s Northern Lights Planetarium offers a breathtaking simulation of the aurora borealis. Other exhibits include interactive displays on Iceland’s volcanoes, geothermal activity, and wildlife.

After exploring the exhibitions, your 10-hour itinerary ends. Before exploring other attractions in the city independently, don’t forget to check out Perlan’s observation deck to see panoramic views of Reykjavik.
