What you'll see and do
Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring
The hot spring will surely impress you by its power and rising steaming mist coming from the bubbling water. The towns nearby, Akranes and Borgarness are provided with hot water from this fully functioning heating system. The hop spring is a natural and environmentally friendly way for human water consumption.

Krauma
The Natural baths use the heated water from Deildartunguhver and are mixed with actual glacial water from Iceland’s smallest glacier. Combining those two sources of water gives the ideal temperature for you to bath in. While letting the geothermal and nutrient-rich water rejuvenate you, you can relax in the beautiful place of the natural spa.

Hraunfossar
These waterfalls truly are majestic and are well known as the wide and gentle falls. They are different in a way where a normal waterfall is a single body, this one is made up of many smaller streams that make a multitude of small white waterfalls. Hraunfossar Waterfalls then joins the Hvita river. You will enjoy a magnificent view of color with gleaming black rocks, green, red and yellow plants and of course the deep blue river combined with the white-water streams.

Barnafoss
The second waterfall on this journey is the Barnafoss Waterfall or “the children’s falls” It received that name because two children fell into the falls and drowned. Even though the falls bare this horrifying tale the Barnafoss Waterfalls is breathtaking to look at.

not worth it at all
our guide did not speak englixh well, and his car and himself smelled heavily of cigarettes. It was a very expensive tour, we drove 5 hrs to see 1 waterfall, It was not worth it at all, I asked him several times to tell us of Iceland and point out things and show up cities and he barely spoke and showed us nothing He did answer questions when I asked but most of the time was in car looking at same landscape with no commentary. would not recommend at all, dont know why they call it silver circle, It was 1 waterfall and 6 hrs of driving
Response from the operator: Hello Cynthia I´m shocked after reading your reviwe. This is so far from whant we want our clients experience. First of all SMOKING ARE FORBIDDEN in all our cars and the cars that comes from our partners. Bad smell in the cars or from the guied we ues is NOT something I can approve. Both guide and cars should be clean and tidy. This guide you had on your tour comes from one of our partners. He was highly recommended. In this recommendation was said that he spoke English very well, that he had great deal of knowledge of saga and nature in the area that the Silver Circle tour is about, I will look into this ASAP and be in touch with you Thorir Th Oak Travel Founder / Owner

Silver Circle Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Silver Circle Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,178 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 Silver Circle Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Silver Circle Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Silver Circle Tour?
+
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 Silver Circle Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Silver Circle Tour?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Silver Circle Tour 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.
What is included in Silver Circle Tour?
+
Included: Certified Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Silver Circle Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 61 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Silver Circle Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Silver Circle Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Silver Circle Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
