Thingvellir National Park
Few locations in the world provide a finer and clearer perspective of this vast geographic activity than Thingvellir National Park, home to one of the most amazing natural wonders in the world: tourists can observe the effects of two moving tectonic plates: the North American and Eurasian ones. The national park is frequently referred to as "The Galapagos of the North" because it is also home to Iceland's largest natural lake and is home to a wide variety of fish and bird species! Thingvellir, the location of the parliament's founding in 930 AD, is deeply ingrained in Icelandic national history. The translation of "Thingvellir" is "Parliament Plains." Because of this, the park is a must-visit location for anybody interested in Icelandic history or culture.

Bruarfoss Waterfall
Often referred to as "Iceland's Bluest Waterfall," this waterfall is a true hidden gem nestled within Iceland's most breathtakingly secretive surroundings. Its size may seem little in comparison to other waterfalls, and the sound of its waters flowing over lava rocks transports you to a place of unparalleled tranquility! Its smooth waters produce an ethereal image of the environment, and its sapphire blue hues create a striking contrast with the vivid green of the surrounding moss and the dark lava rocks they slide over. It's a charming spot ideal for photographers and environment enthusiasts looking to get a closer look at Iceland's unspoiled landscape.

Gullfoss Falls
Next, we'll head for The Golden Waterfall, one of Iceland's most magnificent waterfalls! The breathtaking "Golden Falls" are formed when the melting water of Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull, pours into a deep canyon. On clear days, you can even see Langjökull in the distance, as the waterfall's mist creates a stunning rainbow effect. This is an ideal spot for a breathtaking photo opportunity!

Kerid Crater
Kerid is a volcanic crater well-known for its striking color contrast. This 6.500-year-old volcano crater in South Iceland is the ideal side trip from the Golden Circle. Picture yourself positioned above a crater formed by volcanic eruptions, where distinctive red volcanic rocks cascade down a slope that is 270 meters in circumference, 170 meters broad, and 55 meters deep. Visitors can get a closer look at this shallow lake, which still has much of its caldera intact, by taking a short trek along the crater's edge. The minerals in the surrounding soil give blue water its aquamarine hue. Bright green moss envelops the lake, save for the cliffs of red volcanic rocks. Reykjanes peninsula and Langjökull Glacier are both located in the Western Volcanic Zone, which features Kerid, one of Iceland's three most recognizable volcanic craters.

Our guide Bjord was really amazing! He explained a lot of things with a sense of humour, which often filled the entire bus with laughter. If I had the opportunity, I would definetely do the tour again! The sights were gorgeous too!

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide
This tour was guided by Bjorn, an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide. His explanations were interesting and gave us a thorough understanding of the geography and culture of Iceland. He was willing to go beyond the usual. Highly recommend.

Read ahead, I'm not good with titles
A great day! I got to see the geysir erupt after two decades of having it on my bucket list - what a gorgeuous phenomenon! Our guide Viðir was fun, very professional, present and it felt like he really cared about our experience during the tour. Safe and sound back to Reykjavik with a phone full of pictures. :)

An enjoyable and scenic Golden Circle tour.
Our bus arrived promptly at our bus stop 6. Didir our driver and guide for the day gave us the history of Iceland en route to our locations. He joined us when exploring the various stops or pointed us in the right direction. Didir continued his prompt timing throughout the day so we were able to enjoy the tour as scheduled (in reverse) so avoiding crowding at some of the stops. Beautiful scenery. An enjoyable day. Thank you Troll and Didir.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 784 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik?
+
Around 274 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden Circle, Bruarfoss & Kerid Crater by Minibus from Reykjavik start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
