Golden Circle Private Tour with Kerid Crater & Faxi Waterfall

5.0
(9 reviews)
Reykjavik, Iceland

7 to 8 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

One flat price for 1 to 8 passengers. Solo traveler, couple, or a family of eight - one price for the whole vehicle. No per-person calculations, no surprises at checkout.

Your day, your pace. Stay longer where it matters. Skip what doesn't.

The itinerary bends to your group, not the other way around.
Faxi Waterfall - the Golden Circle without the crowds. Most tours skip Faxi. We don't. This wide, calm waterfall on the Tungufljót River gives you a completely different experience from Gullfoss - and in summer, salmon jumping upstream.

Kerið Crater entry included. No extra fees at the crater - the only paid stop on the Golden Circle is covered in your price.

A private guide, not a driver with a script. Your guide knows Iceland. Ask questions, go deeper, follow your curiosity. The day is a conversation, not a commentary.

Perfect for families. Children of all ages are welcome. The pace adapts to your family, and your guide knows how to bring Iceland's stories alive for every age.
