Why not add a Golden Circle Afternoon tour to your Whale Watching tour for a full day of fun? This is a perfect combination of tours AH75 Whale Watching and AH11 Golden Circle Afternoon.
On this whale watching tour you can see the whales in their native environment which is an unforgettable experience. The local bird life is diverse, including birds as the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of Gull.
After the Whale Watching tour, passengers have time for lunch and a visit to the Whale Exhibition. Passengers that do not want to walk the 5-10 minutes back to our office and bus terminal are picked up at the harbour at 12:30 for the Golden Circle Afternoon tour, which leaves Reykjavík at 13:00. Those wishing to walk are asked to be at our office at the latest at 12:50.
We start the afternoon tour by visiting Þingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was established in the year 930 AD. Geologically it is remarkable and there you can see tectonic plate boundaries that form a breathtaking scenery.
We also visit the impressive Gullfoss waterfall and the spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur.
Although this trip is a shortened version of our AH12 Golden Circle Classic tour, you will be visiting some of the very best historical sites and natural phenomena in the country. Before we return to Reykjavík we will pass Hveragerði greenhouse village.

My time in Iceland was limited, just one day to myself, so I choose this combination tour to try and get the most out of that day. My best expectations were fully met. It was a not the most favourable day for whale watching, but the crew was very professional and after some efforts they managed to find a whale, and we saw another on the way back. It was very cold, so dressing warmly is a must, but sea was calm, it was a sunny day, so we had no difficulties in spotting the whales once we found them, and I got a tan as an unexpected bonus. The Golden Circle afternoon was a spectacular experience - the scenery just amazing all the way, the waterfall and geyser, some other short stops (I was on a smaller bus, so there was more flexibility as to what we could do and less people to manage). I also have only good things to say about the guide and other people that were managing the tours, so I can sincerely recommend this experience.

The whale watching was not that good, the whales were not in the mood to show up! But the the Golden Circle was amazing, incredible places to see, its quite an experience! The guides in both programs were very good. --- Iceland Excursions: --- Thank you for your comments and review. Glad you enjoyed the tour with us. Rembember though that your whale watching tickets are valid for two years if they were not sighted on that particular tour, so come visit us in Iceland again.

Although it was misty and rainy and the see rough (April 6): whale watching was great: dolphins and humpbacks! After that we had a wonderful time at the Golden Circle. Along the way our guide Silke told us so much about the area, saga's etc. We can recommend this tour and especially the friendly Grayline people to everybody!
