GOLDEN CIRCLE · STOP
The loop's standouts.
These are the 6 standout glacier & ice cave tours on Iceland's Golden Circle loop. Where each one goes, who runs it, what it costs, and the verdict left by travellers who took it.
Golden Circle geysers, Gullfoss and Thingvellir, then a truck up to Langjökull for a snowmobile and ice cave visit.
“Memorable trip and enjoyed the snowmobile drive. Amazing effort by the one of guide who showed the ice cave he himself made it. It was not huge but I really appreciated the efforts put in to build the cave.”
3-day Golden Circle and South Coast tour with waterfalls, black sand, optional glacier hike, and a Jökulsárlón amphibious boat ride.
“This was by far one of the best decisions I’ve made! The memories made just within 3 days will stay with me for the rest of my life. Our tour guide, Jonas, was top tier and deserves his roses. The best views you can imagine intentionally planned out and executed!”
Three days hitting Golden Circle and the South Coast with a glacier hike, ice-cave visit, and Jökulsárlón icebergs, plus two breakfasts-included nights.
“A delightful 3 days getting to experience Iceland--everything from visiting the place where Iceland sits atop two tectonic plates to breath-taking waterfalls, The Black Sand Beach, glacier lagoon and ice caves. Plus, our guide, Juliana was friendly, informative and fabulous. She even has her own welcome recording curated with fun music.”
4 days linking Snæfellsnes, Golden Circle, and South Coast with glacier gear and a blue ice cave, plus tips to catch northern lights.
“Everything really! Iceland is beautiful all around including its people. The down-to-earth people are super pleasant. The scenery is breathtaking. Every where we were taken was absolutely amazing!”
Small-group 3 days from Reykjavik to the Golden Circle, South Coast, Jokulsárlón, a natural ice cave, plus Vatnajökull glacier hiking.
“Activities were amazing and our guide, Sindri, was so patient and knowledgeable in sharing with us about Iceland!”
Ice cave visit on the Sleipnir monster truck from Gullfoss: crampons, guided Langjökull stories, and waterfall photo stops.
“The views were amazing the bus a little overheated on the way out and then a little cooler on the way back. The only problem is that you have to drive to get to Gulfoss and then you are on a big bus so quite a lot of time in a vehicle. But very glad…”
