Over the years in the tourism industry, I have noticed that many of my quests struggle with limited time to explore. Very often, people have to make a tough decision “Which tour to choose?” That gave me the idea to design a one-day tour that covers all of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders from GEYSIR TO VÍK.
It will be a full-day attraction, and I guarantee we will create unforgettable memories together. This tour is perfect for those with limited time in Iceland, allowing them to experience the best of what Iceland has to offer in a single day.
Itinerary
PICK-UP
Before our expedition, I will pick you up directly from your accommodation or the place of your choice in the Reykjavik area.
Þingvellir is the birthplace of Icelandic democracy and, for every Icelander place of historical, cultural, and geological significance. Located on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it an excellent place to witness the effects of continental drift.
On the 1000th anniversary of the Alþingi changed its status to become a National park. Since 2004 has its place on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
The geysers’ valley is home to one of Iceland’s most iconic symbols, the Great Geysir, and his little brother Strokkur. Even though Great Geysir is sleeping and rarely erupts these days, geyser Strokkur is still very active and erupts up to 30 m (98 ft) high every five to ten minutes. It’s a unique phenomenon in this part of the world that makes admiring it a lifetime experience especially on a tour from GEYSIR TO VÍK.
Gullfoss is one of the most iconic waterfalls of Iceland. Because of his cascades, Gullfoss could be split into two separate waterfalls. The first drop is 11 m (36 ft), while the second is 21 m (69 ft) high. The Hvita River supplies the waterfall and falls into the over 70 m (230 ft) high Gullfossgjúfur Canyon. It is a mighty waterfall in which the water flow depends on the time of the year. In the summer, around 140 cubic meters (459 cubic feet) of waterfalls down the waterfall every second, while in winter, flow drops to about 109 cubic meters (358 cubic feet) per second.
Gljúfrabúi 40m (131 ft) waterfall is one of Iceland’s most gorgeous hidden gems. It’s tough to find a place that is so unique and unrealistic as Gljúfrabúi. I will say no more, and I’m so excited to take you there on a tour from GEYSIR TO VÍK!
Thanks to the melting glacier cap of the well-known hero of the year 2010, Eyjafjallajokull. Today we have a chance to admire one of the most exciting waterfalls in Iceland.
Seljalandsfoss is a 60m high (200 ft) waterfall.
What makes this waterfall so special is the path that allows my guests to walk behind the waterfall in the summer.
Don’t worry about getting wet. I have you covered. We have a few raincoats on board, which I make available to my guests on request.
Unfortunately, during the winter season, due to safety reasons, the path it’s closed.
Skógafoss is wide at 25 m (80 ft), 60m high (200 ft) waterfall.
You can experience his charm in two ways. First, if you are not afraid to get a bit wet, the flat surrounding underneath allows you to walk right up to the waterfall. The second way is the viewing platform at the top of the waterfall. If we are blessed with sunny weather, you will have a chance to admire often a double Rainbow at Skogafoss. Used as a set of many famous movie productions, Skógafos is also the beginning of Iceland’s most famous hiking trail, the 22 km (14 ml) Fimmvörðuháls Pass.
Dyrhólaey cliffs are approximately 120m high (390ft) and form a small peninsula with a historical lighthouse. Dyrhólaey is home to a large Atlantic Puffins population between May and September. When the weather is good, it’s a perfect place to admire magnificent views of the Mýrdalsjökull glaciers, the black sand beach, and the massive rock formations of volcanic origins.
According to National Geographic, Reynisfjara is one of the Top 10 none tropical beaches you should visit. This famous black-sand beach is located in the middle of the Icelandic South Coast near the small village of Vík. With basalt columns, a cave, black sand, and Reynisdrangar 66m(216 ft) rock pillars, Reynisfjara is truly a unique place.
Straight from there, we will go to your hotel or place of your choice in the Reykjavik area.

What my guests
Julisa March, 2024
Our trip to Iceland was amazing and in part it had to do with how Michal conducted his tour. His knowledge of the Iceland and all the locations we visited helped the experience be so much better. My husband and I truly appreciated his attention to detail and going out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. If anyone goes to Iceland Michal is your man hands down. We hope to return in the summer to see all the amazing places when all the moss is green and flowers are blooming.
Side Note: his hot chocolate is truly the best!
