Journey along the Golden Circle with its outstanding sights of Þingvellir National Park, where the first parliament was held in Iceland and the continental drift is visible. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the spouting hot spring 'Strokkur' erupts every 5 - 7 minutes, and marvel at the Gullfoss waterfall cascading in two steps into a 35m deep canyon.

Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you through Langjökull Glacier's awe-inspiring landscape. Discover the wonders of glaciers & a natural ice cave, listen to interesting facts, and hear authentic stories of the surrounding area.
What’s fascinating is that natural ice caves form during the summer months and vary in form and appearance each year; simply speaking - they are unique in every sense of the word! The crystal-clear ice is often lined with black volcanic ash from eruptions long ago that are embedded in the glacier.
Lastly, remember to take your camera as this mesmerizing landscape offers unparalleled photo opportunities!

Thingvellir National Park
The first stop is Þingvellir National Park and UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the parliament of Iceland was established in the year 930 and continued to meet until 1798, when it was moved to Reykjavik. The area shows its geological importance with the huge rift valley, created by the drift of the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Geysir
Continue to Geysir geothermal area with its colorful deposits of yellow sulfur, the red oxidized iron rocks, and light grey deposits of Silica. While the original Geysir remains dormant, witness Strokkur erupting every 4-8 minutes, shooting water up to 40 meters into the air. This dramatic display of nature's power is a sight you won't forget.
Gullfoss Waterfall
Marvel at Gullfoss, the 'Golden Falls', that cascades into a deep gorge. Hear the roaring sound of the waterfall and feel the mist on your face. Sometimes you can see rainbows in the water spray.
Sleipnir Tours Iceland - Meeting Point
Now it is time for the Sleipnir ICE cave and Glacier Adventure! Meet us at our Transfer bus at the upper Gullfoss parking space, directly opposite the 'Gullfoss - Panorama Restaurant - Cafe - Shop'.
Langjökull Glacier Adventure
To the Glacier: We set our course to Langjökull, known as the 'Long Glacier'. With every turn, a fresh, mesmerizing sight emerges. While this majestic location was inaccessible in the past, our Gigantic Red Monster Glacier Truck now provides a smooth and safe journey.
Stories Along the Way: Listen to our knowledgeable guides and their interesting facts about glaciers, local stories, and folklore.
Natural Ice Cave Visit: Every ice cave is unique. Each season reveals a new and amazing ice wonder. Natural ice caves are sculpted by the ever-changing glacier. Due to Iceland's volcanic activity, the glaciers often contain black volcanic ash from eruptions centuries ago, frozen within the ice. Marvel at the glittering facets of the crystal-clear ice, black ash frozen in time, and the subtle blue hues of the denser ice.
Photographer's Paradise: Inside the ice cave, glittering walls and a calm atmosphere greet you. Outside, the large glacier and nearby views are just as stunning.
Gullfoss Meeting Point: We head back to Gullfoss waterfall to meet your bus that will bring you back to Reykjavik.
