from 159.900 kr · group · ≈ 8 hoursHraunfossar at golden hour — our own photographIceland Beyond the Crowds
Discover steaming geothermal springs, lava-field waterfalls, historic Reykholt and the peaceful landscapes of West Iceland with your own private local guide.
The Golden Circle gets the headlines. The Silver Circle shows you another side of Iceland.
The Golden Circle may be Iceland's most famous sightseeing route. The Silver Circle is what we recommend when you want something a little quieter.
West Iceland is a landscape of lava fields, geothermal power, waterfalls, farms, mountains and stories stretching back to the Viking Age. On this private day trip from Reykjavík you'll visit some of the region's most memorable places — from the powerful geothermal area at Deildartunguhver to historic Reykholt and the beautiful Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls.
Because the experience is private, there is no bus timetable to follow. Take your time. Ask questions. Stop for photos. Talk to your guide. And experience one of Iceland's most rewarding regions without feeling like you're following the same route as everyone else.
The Silver Circle receives less visitor traffic than Iceland's most famous sightseeing routes.
Geothermal activity, history, waterfalls, lava fields and rural landscapes — in one day.
This route gives your guide more room to talk about Iceland's history and culture, rather than simply moving between major attractions.
There's no need to rush because another fifty passengers are waiting.
A strong choice if you've already seen the Golden Circle — or simply want something different.
A full day in West Iceland, and back in the city for the evening.
Add a relaxing geothermal spa experience right beside Deildartunguhver — warm pools fed by the hot spring itself. Admission is not included in the base price.
