    What you'll see and do

    1. Grabrok Crater

      Grabrok is a crater formed due to a fissure eruption almost three thousand years ago. The fissure that initially opened during this eruption created Grabrok and two adjacent craters that can be seen from the top. In addition, you can see from above the massive lava field covering about seven square kilometers due to the eruption. Climbing to the top is relatively easy as the crater is only 170 meters (560 ft) high. There is a good path with steps leading to the top. Grabrok Crater is one of the natural attractions near Iceland's ring road and has been popular with Icelanders for decades.

    2. Glanni Waterfall

      Glanni is a stunning waterfall in the Nordura River. The locals believe it to be the dwelling place for elves and trolls. Glanni is not far away from the Grabrok volcano, the Grabrokarhraun lava field, and the small village of Bifrost. The waterfall is small but beautiful, with at least three side-by-side drops, each with multiple tiers.

    3. Reykholt

      Reykholt is one of Iceland's most notable historical sites. It houses a cultural center and a church. Reykholt is most famous for being the home of Iceland's best-known author, Snorri Sturluson, during the years 1206-1241. An ancient geothermally-heated pool, Snorralaug, is named after him. It is one of the few things preserved from Iceland´s medieval period. Snorrastofa is a cultural center and institute for research in medieval studies. Snorrastofa offers historical exhibitions, guided tours, and lectures.

    4. Hraunfossar Lava Waterfall

      Hraunfossar (meaning "lava waterfall") was a series of streams emerging from the Hallmundarhraun lava field, appearing as a long 900-meter chain of cascades feeding the blue Hvita River. This feature of springs coming out of lava tubes and jagged grooves within the lava made this waterfall unique.

    5. Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring

      Deildartunguhver is the largest hot spring in Europe and probably the most voluminous natural hot spring in the world. Deildartunguhver is Europe's most powerful hot spring. It provides 180 l/sec of 100°C hot water. Most of the water used for central heating in Borgarnes and Akranes towns is taken from Deildartunguhver.

      15 minutes here

    6. Krauma

      Krauma Spa (optional entrance fee) was renovated in November 2017, so it is very new and modern. Experience nature from its core by bathing in the geothermal baths at Krauma. The hot water used in Krauma Spa originates in Europe’s most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver, at a temperature of 100°C (212°F). To achieve the perfect bathing temperature, we mix the hot water with cold water from Rauðsgil, which originates in the glacier Ok, the most miniature glacier in Iceland. Krauma offers five relaxing natural geothermal baths, a cold tub to get your blood circulation going, two calming saunas, and a relaxation room where you can rest by the fireplace while listening to soothing music.

    Silver Circle Tour

    Great private tour. Got to see incredible sites with far fewer people than the Golden Circle and also learned a lot about the history of Iceland. Definitely recommend it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback and comments on our trip on the Silver Circle route. I was glad to guide your group in places, which are not the most known in Iceland, but no less interesting to visit.

    Perfect!

    This was a spectacular tour- these sites were so special. The baths were very relaxing. Not only was the experience one of a kind, but there were also so many details Christina paid attention to for us and made this experience very personal (taking photos, playing Icelandic music on the bus, providing stories). Anyone can enjoy this tour.

    Silver Circle & West Iceland. Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Silver Circle & West Iceland. Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $620 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 & West Iceland. Private Day 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 & West Iceland. Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 & West Iceland. Private Day 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 & West Iceland. Private Day 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 & West Iceland. Private Day 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 & West Iceland. Private Day 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.
