Golden Circle Super-Jeep & Langjökull Glacier Day Tour from Reykjavik
A full-day Super Jeep loop from Reykjavik that pairs Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss with a highland run to Langjökull glacier — ideal for travelers who want geology, waterfalls, and an optional glacier ride in one long, scenic day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Weather changes fast; bring a waterproof outer shell and insulating mid-layers to stay comfortable from geothermal heat to glacier wind.
Book glacier options ahead
Snowmobile rides on Langjökull are subject to capacity and weather — reserve the glacier activity when you book the tour.
Watch your footing at Gullfoss
Paths can be wet and icy; stay on marked trails and use traction on slippery sections.
Protect electronics from spray and cold
Carry waterproof protection and extra batteries—cold drains power quickly and falls of water can damage cameras.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Laugarvatn shoreline — quieter geothermal pools and farm-run cafés nearby
- •West-bank view at Gullfoss above the lower path for a less crowded angle
Wildlife
- •Icelandic horses along rural stretches
- •Varied waterfowl and ground-nesting birds near lakes and wetlands
Conservation Note
Stick to boardwalks and marked trails in geothermal zones and avoid disturbing fragile moss and lichens; the highland environment is slow to recover from damage.
Þingvellir hosted the Alþingi (Iceland’s national assembly) from 930 AD and is where the Mid-Atlantic Rift is visibly expressed on land.
