Private Farm Stay with Golden & Silver Circle Wonders
Explore Iceland's most celebrated routes and spend a night on a working family farm in the heart of West Iceland.
This private Golden Circle and Silver Circle tour brings together Iceland's most celebrated natural landmarks and a genuine overnight farm experience, giving travelers a rare combination of iconic scenery and authentic countryside living. The journey unfolds over two full days, with a private vehicle, personalized stops, and a hosted stay at a working family farm.
The first day follows the legendary Golden Circle, pausing at Kerið volcanic crater, the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, the erupting Strokkur geyser, and the UNESCO-listed plains of Þingvellir. Each stop offers a distinct perspective on Iceland's geology and history, and the private format means the pace is set entirely by your group.
The evening brings you to Hvassafell, a family farm in West Iceland where Icelandic country hospitality takes center stage. Guests stay in a private three-bedroom apartment, share quiet time with the farm's horses and sheep, and wake to a farm-fresh breakfast before the day's second adventure begins.
Day two explores the Silver Circle, with highlights including the Grábrók volcanic crater hike, the folklore-rich Glanni waterfall, the historic village of Reykholt, a tomato greenhouse lunch near Deildartunguhver, and the extraordinary lava-field waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. The return to Reykjavík can include a dinner stop, timed to your group's preference.
Tour Highlights
Walk the rim of Kerið volcanic crater and descend to its vivid blue-green lake, one of Iceland's most visually striking geological features.
Stand beside Gullfoss as glacial meltwater from Langjökull plunges in two dramatic tiers into a rugged canyon below.
Spend the night at a private working farm in West Iceland, where you can meet the horses and sheep and experience true Icelandic sveitarómantík.
During winter months, the farm's minimal light pollution and a nearby dark-sky area offer excellent conditions for spotting the Northern Lights.
Climb the wooden steps of Grábrók crater for sweeping panoramic views over West Iceland's ancient lava fields and open valleys.
Witness Hraunfossar, where glacial water seeps from beneath a vast lava field and fans out in countless streams across black volcanic rock.
Visit Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk the rift between two tectonic plates and stand on the birthplace of Iceland's parliament.
Itinerary Overview
Pickup in Reykjavík begins the journey south toward Kerið crater, followed by the Geysir geothermal area where Strokkur erupts every few minutes. The afternoon continues to Gullfoss waterfall and concludes at the historic and geological landmark of Þingvellir National Park.
After the Golden Circle, the route heads west to Hvassafell, a working family farm where guests are welcomed into a private three-bedroom apartment. The evening is spent with the farm animals, enjoying the quiet of the countryside, and watching for the Northern Lights in season.
Day two begins with a hearty farm-fresh breakfast and a relaxed morning to revisit the horses or walk the surrounding land. Departure is set for mid-morning, giving guests ample time before the Silver Circle begins.
The second day's route includes the Grábrók crater hike, a stop at the legend-laden Glanni waterfall, and a visit to Reykholt, the historic home of medieval writer Snorri Sturluson. A tomato greenhouse lunch near the powerful Deildartunguhver hot spring adds a distinctive local flavor to the day.
The journey closes with a visit to Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, two visually contrasting waterfalls set within the same lava landscape. Guests are then driven back to their preferred location in Reykjavík, with an optional dinner stop along the way.
