This full-day tour combines the classic Golden Circle route with a 1-hour horseback riding experience on Iceland’s friendly and unique horses, followed by a relaxing stop at a local dairy farm for homemade ice cream.

Designed with families and multi-generation travellers in mind, the day offers a wonderful mix of sightseeing, hands-on experiences, and relaxed pacing.

Golden Circle Highlights

Þingvellir National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s first parliament was founded in 930 AD. Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and enjoy dramatic lava fields, cliffs, and historical landmarks.

Geysir Geothermal Area

Home to the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting hot water high into the air. An exciting stop for both children and adults, surrounded by bubbling hot springs and steaming earth.

Gullfoss Waterfall

One of Iceland’s most powerful and breathtaking waterfalls. Watch glacial water thunder into a deep canyon — an unforgettable sight and a highlight of any Golden Circle tour.

Horseback Riding Experience (1 Hour)

After exploring the Golden Circle sights, enjoy a 1-hour horseback ride through peaceful countryside.

What makes this special:

  • Ride the gentle and friendly Icelandic horse
  • Suitable for beginners and children (experienced guides included)
  • Learn about the horse’s unique history and its famous gait, the tölt
  • Helmets and safety equipment provided

This experience is calm, safe, and a favourite for families.

Farm Visit & Homemade Ice Cream

We finish with a stop at a local family-run farm, such as Efstidalur, where guests can enjoy:

  • Fresh homemade ice cream
  • Views of the cows and surrounding countryside
  • A relaxed break to unwind after an active day

A simple but memorable moment that children especially love.
