This tour has the flexibility to make the most of the seasonal changes such as changes in weather and conditions. During the summer Iceland is characterized by energizing bright nights and midnight sun. Between August and May, if the forecast is suitable, you might even be able to spot the magical show put on by the Northern Lights. It is important to note that a guided Northern Lights hunt is however not included in the tour. Other wonderful and interesting possibilities can also come up during your south coast tour with us as Iceland is full of surprises.
We use a couple of different ice caves for our 3 Day Golden Circle & South Coast tour. Ice caves are ever-changing and unpredictable natural phenomena. We usually visit the Crystal Cave at Breiðmerkurjökull during this tour but when the Crystal Cave is inaccessible we will most likely visit Katla Ice Cave. Which ice cave is chosen will however always depend upon the conditions and safety considerations on the day, sometimes a different ice cave will be visited. If conditions do not allow us to visit an ice cave a glacier hike will be offered as an alternative.
Solo travelers who do not select the single supplement will be accommodated in a shared twin room with another participant of the same gender.

The Famous Golden Circle Route
Lưu Trú
One night at a hotel near Vík.
Thingvellir
Explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between the diverging North American and Eurasian tectonic plates beneath towering cliffs. This remarkable site is also home to the world’s oldest still-functioning parliament, established in 930 CE, offering a powerful blend of natural wonder and historic significance.
Geysir
Next, explore the Geysir Geothermal Area, the namesake of all geysers. While the original Geysir is now dormant, nearby Strokkur puts on a spectacular show, erupting every few minutes and shooting boiling water up to 25 meters into the air. This geothermal hotspot is a true highlight of Iceland’s volcanic landscape.
Gullfoss Falls
Finally, visit Gullfoss—“the Golden Falls”—one of Iceland’s most iconic and beloved waterfalls. Here, the mighty Hvítá River plunges in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon, creating a thunderous roar and a mist that often catches the sunlight in golden hues. It's a breathtaking display of nature’s raw power and beauty.
Kirkjubaejarklaustur
After exploring the Golden Circle, you'll travel south to your hotel near the quaint town of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. This peaceful location is an ideal spot to look out for the mesmerizing Northern Lights—if the skies are clear and luck is on your side. Be sure to keep watch; you might just catch nature’s most magical light show.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Ice Caving

Your accommodation for the night will be at the same hotel – Adventure Hotel Geirland.

Glacier Lagoon
In the morning, you’ll head east to the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach. At the lagoon, icebergs of all shapes and sizes drift gracefully toward the Atlantic Ocean, creating a surreal and ever-changing landscape. Their striking colors—ranging from deep blue to crystal white—are the result of compressed glacial ice and natural light refraction.
Fellsfjara
At Diamond Beach, you'll see icebergs that have washed ashore, sparkling like diamonds against the black volcanic sand. As sunlight hits the ice, it creates a dazzling display of bright blue tones that make for an unforgettable walk along the coast. Keep an eye out for ocean birds—and with a bit of luck, you might even spot a curious seal playing in the waves.
Skaftafell National Park
From Jökulsárlón, head to Skaftafell Nature Reserve for a glacier hike led by a certified guide on Vatnajökull Glacier. Then, explore a natural ice cave, where you can photograph the stunning blue light filtering through the ice. Your guide will explain how these formations are created. The cave visited depends on conditions, with about two hours spent on the glacier and cave combined. This tour suits those comfortable walking on easy terrain. Remember to dress warmly, as temperatures inside the cave are well below freezing.

Breakfast
Fjadrargljufur Canyon
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll begin a relaxed drive back toward Reykjavik with several stops along the way. If road conditions allow, the day starts with a quick detour to the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon.
Eldhraun Lava Field
You’ll first explore the iconic Eldhraun lava field, a vast and dramatic landscape formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Then, continue on to the striking Reynisfjara black sand beach, known for its powerful waves and basalt columns.
Reynisfjara Beach
The powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash dramatically onto the black sand beach, creating a stunning and unforgettable sight. Be cautious—these waves can be unpredictable, so always follow your tour guide’s safety instructions.
Skogafoss
Skógafoss is a stunning waterfall that plunges 60 meters into a peaceful pool below. Climb the 527 steps to the top for breathtaking panoramic views. On clear days, you’ll also catch a glimpse of the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano towering above the falls.
Volcano Hekla
On clear days, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Mount Hekla as you travel toward Seljalandsfoss. This iconic volcano adds a dramatic backdrop to the scenic journey ahead.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall
This waterfall is one of the most unique in the world, offering the rare opportunity to walk behind the cascading water. Experience breathtaking views from both behind and in front of the falls.
Reykjavik
After your final visit to Seljalandsfoss, your 3-day South Coast tour concludes as you travel back to Reykjavík. You’ll arrive between 16:00 and 19:00 depending on road and weather conditions.

Amazing Tour!!

5.00We had an amazing 3-day tour! There were so many great stops and activities planned out each day, and our amazing guide, Wendy, gave us such interesting information along the way. We had a mix of both snow and sunshine this week, but the weather didn’t stop us at all! Wendy led us on a hike to a waterfall through a snowstorm that was 100% worth it, and we also had some warm sun on our last day at the ice caves and beaches. Wendy was also spot on for telling us when the Northern Lights would appear, and we got some awesome photos and memories of the night sky!! Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour!

5.00It was truly an amazing 3-day Golden Circle experience with Wendy. She made sure we could fully enjoy everything Iceland has to offer during those three days, and she guided us with kindness the entire time. I would like to say thank you to the wonderful and fun Wendy and the Arctic Adventure team for giving us the best honeymoon. 🏔🌌🥰🌟

5.00Wendy is an excellent tour! She ran the whole schedule very efficiently. She foot stomps on being on time and everyone plays by her rules. We saw northern lights on Day2 night all because of her incredibly accurate prediction. I called her “the prophet”.

5.00This was probably the best experience I could have ever asked for. It was the first time outside of the USA and the tour and tour guide Tom were fantastic. I cannot recommend Tom enough - he was knowledgeable, kept us on track for time best he could (I made us late one morning and many people didn't come back exactly when he said we should be back), kept us safe, and he answered every question I had. Following this tour, I had a camper-van booked and Tom gave me a lot of helpful advice and information on driving safely in Iceland, where to go, what to look for. I was going to wing it, but with his help, it made my full week stay absolutely stunning. I don't regret a second or even a penny spent on this trip. I just wish I had more Northern Lights!!! But during the tour was one clear night and the lights were dancing. Tom said it was a 7-8/10 for seeing the aurora. I came for Ice caves and I want to go back for the Aurora. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am so glad I got time at so many locations with this tour. It really helped me settle into being in a new place, getting oriented to the geography and having a fantastic start to my vacation. With Tom's input, I believe this tour is the best bang for your buck. A longer tour might be too much if you have limited time, and trying to squeeze in more than we did in 3 days would have been too much and we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the views. Tom said this tour gave us nearly everything you would want to see in winter that you can access and suggested I go to Snaefellsnes in my Camper. Best advice ever. As a photographer, there were some sights I wanted to see that I saw online but had no idea where they were. The tour got me half of them, Snaefellsnes got me the rest of them. I don't think it's possible, but if you can book with Tom specifically, do it. And ask LOTS of questions. Take the moment to learn as much as you can. while you have the guide with you. Sorry I don't have photos at the moment. I hope to update this later with a few!
Iceland nature is hard to beat!

5.00Terrific tour for small group or family. Second day was outstanding. Weather changed by the hour in late March so lots of layers and rain gear for top and bottom is key for comfort. Overnight lodging was great and tour had plenty of stops for restrooms and food. Tour guide was knowledgeable, timely, and full of Icelandic surprises. Saw a seal, icebergs, many may waterfalls, glacier, beaches, canyons - hard to beat.

5.00I did this tour with Hjalti at the end of March 2026. It was a wonderful experience, and I would strongly recommend everyone consider it, especially if it is your first time visiting Iceland! The group size was only 14 people. The pacing was perfect, plenty of stops so you don’t feel stuck in the car and enough time to explore each stop. There was such a good variety of landscapes and activities. Even though it was a relatively short trip for us, I don’t think I could have spent it in a better way. Our tour guide, Hjalti, was so knowledgeable, kind and funny. We learned a lot about the history of Iceland, and had fun doing so. Can’t recommend this tour enough! Would love to do a tour with Hjalti and arctic adventure again in the future.

5.00We actually booked a 5day tour but it included the golden circle, ice caves, and glacier tour. It was the best tour ever. We have our guide, Hialti, to thank for. He is an awesome, knowledgeable, and interesting person who made our trip very unforgettable. The views were insane, though some access were limited due to snow and weather but not at all an issue. He paced everything so nicely and there was never a dull moment. 10/10 would recommend. If I come back, I’m hoping Hialti from Arctic Adventures will be our your guide again.
Awesome Iceland experience!
