Operated by Reykjavik Sightseeing · Reykjavík, Capital Region
A low, gray light hangs over Reykjavík as the coach pulls away from BSÍ Bus Terminal, and within an hour the city gives way to open farmland and black lava fields—landscapes that read like a primer on Icelandic geology. The day unfolds as a loop through the Golden Circle’s most visceral scenes: Þingvellir’s rifted cliffs, the rhythmic outbursts of Strokkur at Geysir, the raw thunder of Gullfoss, and finally the white silence of Langjökull, where a custom super truck climbs onto the glacier and releases you to ride a snowmobile across an ancient ice cap.
