Meals are not generally included unless specifically stated in your selected hotel rate.

Your hotel and rate details will confirm whether breakfast is included with your booking.

Yes. Round-trip flights are included in the package.

Available departure airports and flight options depend on your travel dates. If you'd like to explore an alternative departure airport or flight option, contact the Yes Getaways team before booking.

Seat selection, checked baggage, and cabin upgrades may be available as paid add-ons, subject to availability and the airline fare selected.

The package includes a Golden Circle Superior Small Group Tour, a full-day experience of approximately 8 hours with hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavik.

The tour takes you along the famous Golden Circle route, visiting:

• Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the historic site of Iceland's first parliament
• Geysir geothermal area, home to Strokkur and other active hot springs and geysers
• Kerið Crater Lake, known for its distinctive red volcanic rocks and aquamarine water
• Hveragerði, a geothermal town known for its hot springs, greenhouses, and earthquake activity
• Faxi Waterfall, a beautiful and peaceful waterfall often described as a hidden gem

After pickup in Reykjavik, you'll travel into the Icelandic interior with your local guide.

At Þingvellir, you'll discover one of Iceland's most historically significant locations and see the landscape shaped by the meeting of the Eurasian and American tectonic plates.

You'll then continue to Haukadalur Valley and the Geysir geothermal area, where you'll see geothermal springs and geysers, including Strokkur, which typically erupts every 6–10 minutes and can shoot boiling water up to 20–40 meters high.

The tour continues to Kerið Crater Lake, followed by Hveragerði, where you can experience the atmosphere of one of Iceland's geothermal towns. The final stop is Faxi Waterfall, before returning to Reykjavik.

The Golden Circle experience is a small-group shared tour, not a private excursion.

You'll travel with a local guide and other guests, allowing you to experience Iceland's most famous Golden Circle attractions in a more intimate setting than a large-group tour.

The experience involves walking at several outdoor and natural attractions, including Þingvellir, the Geysir geothermal area, Kerið Crater, and Faxi Waterfall.

Overall, the tour is suitable for travelers who are comfortable with light to moderate walking outdoors. Some locations may have uneven or natural surfaces, and conditions can vary depending on the weather.

Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

No. A rental car is not required.

Your package includes airport transfers, and your Golden Circle experience includes hotel pickup and drop-off.

Reykjavik itself is easy to explore independently, so you can enjoy the city without the need to drive. If you'd prefer to explore more of Iceland independently, rental cars can be arranged separately.

Iceland's weather can change quickly, so layers and waterproof clothing are recommended year-round.

For the Golden Circle tour and general sightseeing, we recommend bringing:

• Warm layers
• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes
• Gloves
• Warm hat or other headwear

The right clothing will make it much easier to enjoy Iceland's outdoor attractions comfortably, regardless of the season.

No. This is a flexible city-and-sightseeing package rather than a fully guided tour.

Your Golden Circle experience is guided, with a local guide and hotel pickup and drop-off.

The rest of your stay is independent, giving you the freedom to explore Reykjavik at your own pace or add optional experiences.

An expert trip manager is also included to help support your journey.

Yes. Your free time gives you plenty of opportunities to add experiences according to your interests.

Depending on availability, you may choose to add activities such as a Blue Lagoon visit, whale watching, additional sightseeing tours, museums, or other Icelandic experiences.

Optional activities and entrance fees are not included unless specifically stated in your booking.

Yes. Subject to availability, you can request additional nights, alternative flight options, hotel options, or additional experiences.

This allows you to turn the 7-night escape into a longer Iceland vacation if you'd like more time to explore beyond Reykjavik and the Golden Circle.

Contact the Yes Getaways team before booking if you'd like help customizing your itinerary.

Yes. Package pricing is generally based on two travelers sharing a room, so a single supplement may apply for solo travelers.

You can check the available price by selecting 1 traveler when choosing your travel dates, or contact the Yes Getaways team for assistance.

Any local taxes or fees charged directly by the hotel are not included in the package price and must be paid by the traveler during the stay, if applicable.

Your booking details will provide the relevant information for your selected hotel.

Yes. Iceland is widely regarded as one of the world's safest countries, with low crime rates and a welcoming environment for international visitors.

Reykjavik is easy to explore independently, and English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, attractions, and tourist areas.

As with any international destination, we recommend taking normal travel precautions and keeping your personal belongings secure.

Iceland is a year-round destination, but each season offers a different experience.

Summer brings long daylight hours and generally favorable conditions for sightseeing and exploring Iceland's natural landscapes.

Spring and autumn offer changing scenery and generally fewer visitors.

Winter brings shorter days and colder weather, but offers dramatic winter landscapes and the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, depending on weather and solar activity.

Because Iceland's weather can change quickly, it's important to be prepared for variable conditions regardless of when you travel.

Tour schedules can occasionally be affected by weather, road conditions, or other circumstances outside the local operator's control.

If the Golden Circle experience needs to be modified or rescheduled, the local operator or Yes Getaways team will provide the relevant information and assist with the arrangements.

No. U.S. and Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for tourist stays in Iceland of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Iceland is part of the Schengen Area, so the 90-day limit applies across the Schengen countries, not just Iceland.

You will need a valid passport that meets Iceland's entry requirements. 

Travel requirements can change, so travelers should check the latest official passport and entry requirements before departure.

⚠️ Please note that entry into the United Kingdom requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for many visa-exempt travellers, including eligible U.S. and Canadian citizens. If your itinerary includes arrival in, departure from, or a transit or layover through the United Kingdom, you may be required to obtain an ETA before travel. Entry requirements can change, and it is the traveler's responsibility to verify current visa, passport, and transit requirements before departure through their government's official travel advisory website.

For general assistance during your trip, you can contact the Yes Getaways team at (647) 694-5673, available every day from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM (UTC). Your travel documents will also include an emergency contact number for urgent assistance outside regular support hours.

For local emergencies in Iceland, including police, fire, or medical assistance, call 112, Iceland's national emergency number, available 24/7.
