Want to see the sites of the Golden Circle but have a limited amount of time? Consider this express Golden Circle tour! Experience the landmarks of the classic Golden Circle in South Iceland on this unforgettable day tour. The Golden Circle encompasses the must-see sights of Þingvellir National Park, the golden Gullfoss waterfall, and the bubbling geothermal region of Geysir.
Golden Circle Direct runs several departures throughout the day. As of August 1, 2026, the 08:00 morning departure includes an added stop at Kerið, a striking volcanic crater lake ringed with red and green slopes. Because this departure covers the Kerið admission fee and spends a little longer on the road, it is around 30 minutes longer and priced slightly higher than the others. Every later departure visits the same Golden Circle highlights — Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall — but does not include the stop at Kerið. If seeing Kerið matters to you, choose the 08:00 departure; if you would rather keep the day a touch shorter and the fare a little lower, any other departure time is a good choice.
