Operated by Pickmeup · Reykjavík, Capital Region
You step out of Reykjavík’s gray-blue morning into a landscape that seems wired for drama. The air is clean and sharp; the driver eases the van onto a ribbon of asphalt and the city recedes, replaced by geothermal steam plumes and broad lava fields. The day’s arc—Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and the optional Kerið crater—moves from tectonic quiet to explosive steam and then to the thunder of falling water.
easy.
6–8 hours.
Light activity; mostly seated transport with short walks (200–1,000 m) at each stop, suitable for most fitness levels.
Pickup and drop-off are available anywhere within the Reykjavík capital area; you can also meet at a central departure point if preferred.
Food is not included, but the itinerary includes a recommended lunch stop at Gullfoss cafe and other cafés along the route.
Yes—short walks are stroller-accessible at some viewpoints, and infant seats can be provided in the vehicle.
No—Geysir and Gullfoss are protected geothermal and waterfall sites; swimming is not allowed. For a soak, book a dedicated stop like the Secret Lagoon separately.
The supplier may cancel in severe weather for safety and will refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure; dress for wind and rain as tours generally proceed in light weather.
Most sites and cafés accept card payments; Kerið charges a small admission fee payable by card at the gate.
Þingvellir was the location of Iceland’s Althingi founded in 930 AD—one of the world’s oldest parliamentary institutions and a cultural focal point.
Stay on marked boardwalks and trails—moss and crustal surfaces are fragile and recover slowly; respect signage around geothermal vents.
