The Golden Circle Tour
Iceland's most iconic touring route and the first program most travel agencies add to their Iceland portfolio. The Golden Circle covers three of Iceland's most significant natural and historic sites in a single day — all within 300km of Reykjavik, making it the ideal foundation for both short breaks and longer Ring Road itineraries.
Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly diverge — and where Iceland's first parliament met in 930 AD. The Geysir Geothermal Area is home to Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes. Gullfoss is one of Europe's most powerful and awe-inspiring waterfalls.
- Þingvellir National Park — UNESCO World Heritage Site & tectonic rift
- Strokkur Geyser — erupts every 5–10 minutes to 30m height
- Gullfoss Waterfall — Iceland's most iconic waterfall, two-tiered cascade
- Available as private, small group or self-drive program
- Can be combined with Friðheimar Greenhouse, Secret Lagoon or Fontana Spa
Northern Lights Hunt
The Northern Lights (aurora borealis) are Iceland's most sought-after experience — and the single most powerful driver of winter bookings from Germany, UK and India. Iceland DMC operates dedicated Northern Lights hunting programs designed specifically for travel agency clients who demand a memorable, guided aurora experience.
Our expert guides use real-time aurora forecast data and dark-sky positioning away from Reykjavik's light pollution to maximise sighting chances. Programs include transport, aurora science briefings and hot chocolate under the stars.
- Peak season: October to February — longest dark nights
- Real-time aurora forecast monitoring by our guides
- Dark-sky locations away from Reykjavik light pollution
- Aurora alert service available for FIT clients in city hotels
- Photography tips & assistance from specialist guides
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is one of Iceland's most photographed and emotionally powerful natural wonders. A vast glacial lake where icebergs calve from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier — an outlet of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest ice cap — and drift slowly to sea, the lagoon is a living, ever-changing tableau of ice, water and sky.
Just metres away, Diamond Beach receives these same icebergs as they wash ashore on jet-black volcanic sand — creating one of the world's most surreal and beautiful landscapes. A must-have in every Iceland FIT and group itinerary. Located approx. 5 hours from Reykjavik, typically combined with a South Coast program.
- Jökulsárlón — glacial iceberg lagoon, Europe's deepest natural lake
- Diamond Beach — icebergs on black volcanic sand
- Zodiac and amphibian boat tours available (May–Oct)
- Combine with South Coast: Skógafoss, Vík, Reynisfjara
- A top request from German, UK and Indian photography travellers
Ice Cave Tour
Iceland's natural ice caves are among the most spectacular geological formations on earth — and among the most in-demand winter experiences for travel agency clients from Germany, UK and India. Found inside Vatnajökull glacier, these caves feature walls and ceilings of ancient blue, crystal and black glacier ice, formed by millennia of compression and volcanic interaction.
Natural ice caves are a seasonal phenomenon, accessible only from November through March when cold temperatures keep the caves stable. Iceland DMC works with certified glacier guides and has preferential access to cave sites in the Vatnajökull region.
- Access to natural ice caves inside Vatnajökull glacier
- Blue, crystal and black ice formations — UNESCO Biosphere site
- Certified glacier guides with safety equipment included

Into the Glacier — Langjökull Ice Tunnel
Into the Glacier is a uniquely engineered attraction that allows visitors to experience the interior of a living glacier year-round — making it one of the most commercially valuable Iceland experiences for travel agencies, as it is not weather-dependent or season-restricted like natural ice caves.
A specially designed tunnel system has been drilled into Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier, located near the Golden Circle. Visitors travel by custom 8WD monster trucks to the glacier entrance, then walk through illuminated tunnels carved through thousands of years of compressed ice. Iceland's most accessible glacier interior experience.
- Man-made tunnel system inside Langjökull — open year-round
- 8WD monster truck ride to glacier entrance
- Illuminated ice chambers and glacier cross-section viewing
- Suitable for families, seniors and all fitness levels
- Easily combined with Golden Circle for a full day program
The Golden Circle & Friðheimar Greenhouse
For travel agencies looking to elevate their Golden Circle product beyond the standard route, the Friðheimar Greenhouse extension is one of Iceland's most distinctive culinary experiences — and a genuine differentiator in the competitive Iceland touring market.
Friðheimar is a geothermally heated greenhouse farm that grows tomatoes year-round using Iceland's volcanic heat. Visitors enjoy a farm-to-fork lunch in the greenhouse surrounded by tomato vines, with a menu focused entirely on tomato-based cuisine. It provides a premium, memorable experience that German and UK discerning travellers consistently rate as a highlight.
- Standard Golden Circle route: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss
- Friðheimar geothermal greenhouse lunch — book well in advance

The peninsula features dramatic lava fields, sulphur fumaroles, boiling mud pools and the UNESCO Global Geopark designation. The recent volcanic activity near Grindavík has created one of the world's most accessible active volcanic landscapes — with carefully managed viewing routes available for tour groups. A globally unique addition to any Iceland program.
- UNESCO Reykjanes Geopark — world-class geological heritage
- Active volcanic landscape near Grindavík (access monitored)

South Coast Wonders — Vík & Waterfalls
The South Coast is Iceland's most dramatic day touring route and the backbone of most Iceland itineraries from Germany, UK and India. Travelling east from Reykjavik along the Ring Road, the South Coast delivers a non-stop succession of natural wonders: thundering waterfalls, black volcanic beaches, troll-rock sea stacks and glacier tongues reaching down from Vatnajökull.
Key stops include Seljalandsfoss (where you can walk behind the waterfall), Skógafoss, the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara near Vík, the Dyrhólaey cliff arch, and Mýrdalsjökull glacier. One of Iceland DMC's highest-selling ground programs for both FIT and group travel.

Lava Tunnel & Lava Show
For travel agencies seeking a unique, weatherproof and genuinely Icelandic underground experience, the lava tunnel and lava show combination is one of the most compelling Iceland add-ons available — particularly valuable for programs where Northern Lights have not been visible or weather has disrupted outdoor activities.
Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel is one of Iceland's longest lava tubes — a 1.4km cave formed by a lava flow 5,200 years ago, featuring otherworldly rock formations and ice stalagmites in winter. The Lava Show in Vík is Iceland's only live lava eruption show, where real lava is melted and poured before a live audience — a genuinely unique global experience.
- Raufarhólshellir — 1.4km lava tube, just 30 mins from Reykjavik
- Ice formations inside the cave visible in winter months
- Lava Show Vík — the world's only live lava eruption performance
- Ideal bad-weather program or rainy day alternative

Located on the Reykjanes Peninsula between Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik, it is perfectly positioned for arrival and departure day programs.
The mineral-rich geothermal waters — a striking milky-blue at 37–39°C year-round — are rich in silica, algae and minerals. Iceland DMC arranges Blue Lagoon entry, private transfers from Reykjavik and KEF, and pre-booking of the silica mud mask and in-water treatments.

Wonders of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Known as "Iceland in Miniature," the Snæfellsnes Peninsula packs an extraordinary concentration of Iceland's most dramatic landscapes into a single 90km peninsula — making it the ideal full-day extension for agencies looking to offer something beyond the Golden Circle and South Coast.
The peninsula is crowned by Snæfellsjökull glacier — the setting of Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth — and is encircled by dramatic lava fields, fishing villages, seal colonies, bird cliffs and black sand beaches. It is a National Park, designated for its exceptional natural and cultural heritage.

For travel agencies, it is a commercially valuable addition to Reykjavik city programs, rainy-day schedules and short break itineraries.
The flight experience soars over glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, the Northern Lights and Iceland's wild coastlines — with the sensation of true flight simulated through the suspended ride system, wind, mist and panoramic spherical screen.
