Reykjavík: Golden Circle & Ice Cave in Monster Truck

Journey along the Golden Circle and take in the outstanding sights of Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s first parliament was held and the continental drift between tectonic plates is clearly visible. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the spouting hot spring Strokkur erupts every 5–7 minutes, and marvel at Gullfoss waterfall, cascading in two dramatic steps into a 35-meter-deep canyon.

From Gullfoss, begin your ultimate Glacier and Ice Cave adventure aboard one of the largest Glacier Trucks!

Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you across the awe-inspiring Langjökull Glacier, sharing fascinating glacier facts and authentic local stories along the way.

Walk into a ice cave, hidden deep within the glacier! The crystal-clear ice, often streaked with black volcanic ash from ancient eruptions, creates a truly otherworldly scene.

Don’t forget your camera—this mesmerizing landscape offers unparalleled photo opportunities you won’t want to miss!

Choose pick up point in Reykjavik

You will start your Icelandic adventure from the convenient pick-up locations around the city. Pick up starts at 08:30 and can take up to 30 min.

Thingvellir

Start with a scenic drive in Superjeep/modified small bus to Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s first parliament was founded in 930 AD. Þingvellir is also a geological marvel—here, you can see the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This unique blend of history and geology earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004.

Geysir

Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where you'll see vibrant yellow sulfur, red iron-rich rocks, and pale silica deposits. Strokkur erupts every 4–8 minutes, shooting water up to 25 meters into the air, while the original Geysir remains dormant. Before heading to the next location, you’ll have the chance to buy a quick lunch on-site.

Ice Cave & Langjökull Glacier Adventure

To the Glacier: We head toward Langjökull, the “Long Glacier,” where each turn reveals breathtaking new scenery. Once inaccessible, this majestic glacier is now within reach thanks to our powerful, specially designed Red Glacier Truck, offering a smooth and safe ride to the top.

Stories Along the Way: Enjoy fascinating insights from our expert guides, who share stories of local folklore, glacial science, and the unique geology of Iceland.

Ice Cave Exploration: Step inside the glacier itself and explore a stunning ice cave, where layers of crystal-clear ice are streaked with black volcanic ash from ancient eruptions. The deep blue tones of compressed ice and frozen ash create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere—like walking through frozen history.

A Photographer’s Dream: Capture unforgettable moments inside the ice cave or outside on the vast, snowy expanse of Langjökull, with panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Return to Gullfoss: After your glacier adventure, we return to Gullfoss waterfall.

Gullfoss

Marvel at Gullfoss, the spectacular “Golden Falls,” as it thunders into a dramatic gorge below. Walk right up to the edge along the viewing paths to feel the power of the falls up close—the roar of the water, the mist on your face, and on sunny days, rainbows dancing in the spray. It's a moment you won’t forget.

Back to Reykjavik
