Golden Circle Cruise Arrival: Exclusive Small Group Tour
Overview
Explore Iceland's breathtaking nature on a Golden Circle tour departing from Skarfabakki port.
Unlike traditional tours, we don't have a set departure time. We wait for your cruise to dock before beginning, allowing up to 2 hours after arrival.
Our small group approach ensures a more personal experience, allowing our knowledgeable guides to provide exceptional service and share Iceland's fascinating history, culture, and geology.
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous sightseeing route, combining stunning landscapes with stories that span from the settlement era to the present day.
Highlights include the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, the erupting hot springs of Geysir, Thingvellir National Park and the beautiful Öxarárfoss waterfall. We also visit the striking Kerið volcanic crater, where colorful red slopes surround a tranquil blue lake, creating one of Iceland's most picturesque natural landmarks.
