The Pearl Tour, a Golden Circle Super Jeep and Snowmobile adventure, is an incredible experience where you’ll explore some of Iceland’s most famous and breathtaking natural wonders, culminating in an unforgettable snowmobile ride on Langjökull glacier. This tour of the Golden Circle is one of the oldest and most popular, having been offered for over 20 years, and it’s our highest-rated tour on TripAdvisor. If you want to discover Iceland’s most iconic locations in the comfort of a small group, this is the perfect way to do it.
Our first stop on the Golden Circle is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Iceland’s first parliament, which also holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving parliamentary institution in the world. Founded in AD 930, it is Iceland’s most significant historical site.
Þingvellir is also renowned for its geological features, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly separating, ever so slightly year after year. After many millennia, you can witness the wide gap formed at this geological marvel.
From Þingvellir, we head inland toward the highly active Geysir Hot Spring area, known for its boiling mud pits and erupting hot springs. For some wet and wild excitement, if the winds are right, you can experience the refreshing spray from the mighty geyser.
Next, we continue on to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls. Located on the Hvítá River, this waterfall, fed by Langjökull Glacier, drops 32 meters in two stages into a rugged canyon. While you’re there, keep your fingers crossed—on a sunny day, a rainbow might greet you.
To cap off the day, we drive to Langjökull Glacier for another thrilling Icelandic adventure. Here, we’ll race across snowfields on snowmobiles, taking in the breathtaking mountain peaks while surrounded by this icy wilderness.
