Description

Discover the enchanting natural wonders on the Golden Circle sightseeing route and enjoy a thrilling monster truck adventure with this fantastic combination tour. Travelers keen to explore Iceland's top attractions and experience an exciting ride across a glacier should book this tour from Reykjavik now.

Your full-day combination trip begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik accommodation or the nearest bus stop. You'll board a comfortable bus before departing on a guided tour of the Golden Circle, the country's most famous driving route.

The driver will take you outside the city to the day's first attraction, Thingvellir National Park. Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historical and geological significance and magnificent natural scenery.

The park lies on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are separating. Therefore, you can enjoy the unique experience of walking between the continents amid the park's rugged scenery.

Next, you'll head to the Geysir geothermal area. This otherworldly landscape features boiling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and erupting geysers.

The park is home to the Great Geysir, which gave all geysers worldwide their name. Although it's mostly inactive now, its neighbor Strokkur produces a dazzling show. Strokkur shoots sprays of boiling water and steam high into the air every 5-10 minutes, a spectacle you'll want your camera ready for.

Afterward, the driver will take you to the Gullfoss waterfall, the day's final Golden Circle attraction. Gullfoss is a stunning cascade, which some say is Iceland's most beautiful!

Gullfoss has well-maintained paths, allowing you to view its splendor from different angles. On sunny days, it sometimes features a rainbow, creating a picture-perfect photo opportunity.

After your amazing Golden Circle tour, you'll depart Gullfoss for the monster truck base. Then, it's time for a guided monster truck excursion on the Langjokull glacier, which lasts 3-4 hours including transfers.

Traverse the glacier's vast expanse in a big red truck designed to handle the icy terrain easily. It's well-equipped for comfort and has a restroom on board.

Expert guides will share fascinating stories and information about the glacier and surrounding area, adding depth to your experience as you appreciate your breathtaking surroundings.

Your group will stop at a scenic area for refreshments. The tour package includes crampons so you can walk confidently on the ice, capturing photos of the glacier.

During the stop, you can enjoy delicious hot cocoa, Jokla liqueur, and tea or coffee, the perfect way to keep warm in the glacier environment. You can also sample "Kleinur," a tasty Icelandic pastry.

When the weather and glacier conditions are decent, you can whiz down the slopes on a sled or play glacier golf! These are both incredible experiences to complete your adventure on the ice.

After a memorable excursion, you'll finish the monster truck ride at Gullfoss waterfall. Then, you will board a bus that takes you back to Reykjavik, where your combination trip finishes.

Don't miss the excellent opportunity to join this combination tour, which includes sightseeing on the Golden Circle and an exhilarating monster truck ride on the Langjokull glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
