The Express Golden Circle

Designed for cruise ship passengers docking in Reykjavík. You see Þingvellir, Gullfoss, Geysir and Kerið crater with the peace of mind that you’ll be back at your ship well before its evening departure. We pick up directly at Skarfabakki and will postpone departure by up to 1 hour if your ship is delayed.
