A Golden Circle small group tour that adds two extra stops to the classic route. Along with Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss you visit Brúarfoss, a small waterfall with bright blue water, and the red Kerið crater lake.
The Golden Circle is the most popular day trip from Reykjavík, and this version keeps the group small and adds two quieter stops. You start at Þingvellir, then visit Brúarfoss before going on to Geysir and Gullfoss. The last stop is Kerið crater on the way back to the city.
Brúarfoss is a low waterfall on the Brúará river, but the colour of the water is what people come for: a bright, milky blue that is hard to believe in photos. Kerið is an old volcanic crater with red and black walls and a lake at the bottom. Together they give a good break from the crowds at the big three.
Walks are short and on paths, but some are uneven and can be icy in winter. In winter daylight is short, so your guide may adjust the timing of stops. In summer the main sites are busy in the middle of the day, and a small group makes it easier to get on and off the bus quickly.
It is a small group of up to 18, and it adds Brúarfoss and Kerið crater to the three classic stops.
No. At lunch time the group stops where you can buy a warm lunch, and there are other stops for snacks and drinks.
Yes, from age 6. The walks are short, but it is a long day.
No. Pick-up is only from set locations in greater Reykjavík.
This tour was absolutely great - I can highly recommend it. Bruarfoss was my favorite part of the tour.

Sarah T. · October 2024The Golden Circle tour with a stop at Bruarfoss Waterfall was absolutely fantastic! The small group size made it feel more personal, and our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Seeing the iconic sights like Thingvellir, Gullfoss, and Geysir was incredible, but Bruarfoss was a real hidden gem – the blue waters were stunning! The tour was well-paced, giving us plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a more intimate and unique experience of the Golden Circle. Perfect day in Iceland!
Ryan L. · September 2024I can’t recommend this Golden Circle tour enough! The added stops at Brúarfoss waterfall and Kerið crater really set it apart from other tours. Seeing Brúarfoss's brilliant blue water was a true highlight, and Kerið crater's vibrant colors were stunning. Of course, the regular Golden Circle stops like the Geysir and Gullfoss were spectacular as well. The small group format made the experience more enjoyable and allowed for plenty of time at each location. If you want a tour that goes beyond the basics and gives you a deeper dive into Iceland’s wonders, this is the one to choose!

The small group size allowed for a more personal and relaxed atmosphere, and our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Iceland's natural wonders. The regular stops like Geysir and Gullfoss were breathtaking as always, but Brúarfoss was the highlight—its vibrant blue water is something you have to see in person. If you’re looking for a more intimate and comprehensive Golden Circle tour, this is it!
Alessandra B. · September 2024We had a lovely day on this tour. The attractions were very beautiful like almost everything in Iceland. It was interesting to get to know the history of Thingvellir National Park but Gullfoss was our favorite stop of the day.
Abriana · December 2022Golden Circle tour was a great day. I liked the south coast tour better because of the locations so if you have to choose one tour go on the south coast of iceland tour. If you can go on 2 tours I can really recommend this golden circle tour also. Gullfoss was my favorite.
Amanda · July 2022This was a really good day in Iceland. Golden Circle is very beautiful and we visited all places that we wanted on the golden circle on this tour. The farm visit was also a very nice add on. Will tell my friends to go on this tour who are visiting Iceland next summer.
