Golden Circle Backpackers Reviews

Location and Contact

Location

• There are two ways of getting to Golden Circle Backpackers:
• Express Route: Drive road no.1 east from Reykjavik (in the direction of Hveragerdi). Once you have passed Hveragerdi town, take a left turn up road no. 35, just before arriving to the town of Selfoss. Drive road no. 35 for approx. 30-40 minutes until you have driven past the small village of Reykholt. 5-10 min later you take a right turn at an Arctic Rafting sign (our next door neighbors). Drive the gravel road for approx. 5-10 minutes following the signs all the way to Golden Circle Backpackers (Drumbodsstadir).
• Golden Circle Route: Drive road no.1 north from Reykjavik. Soon after you have driven through Mosfellsbaer suburb town, take a right turn up road no.36 in the direction of Thingvellir. Drive to Thingvellir National Park and make a sightseeing stop there. From Thingvellir, keep driving road no. 36 for approximately 10 minutes until you make a left turn up road no.365 in the direction of Laugavatn. Drive for about 25 minutes until you reach an intersection by the town of Laugavatn, take a left turn up road no. 37. Drive for 25 minutes until you reach Geysir hot springs and make a stop there for sightseeing. From Geysir drive towards the highlands on road no. 35 (road no. 37 becomes road no. 35 just before Geysir) for 10 minutes without making any turns. Arrive at the Gullfoss Waterfall and take a walk to approach it as close up as possible. You'll be surprised by the power of nature. After your Gullfoss visit, turn back and drive towards Geysir again until you see road no.30 on your left hand side. There is a signpost that says Einholt on it. Drive that road until you get to the junction of road no.358, turn there. Drive on until you see a very old white bridge on the right, don't go over the bridge but turn left. By now you should have seen some Arctic Rafting (our next door neighbour) signposts, they will lead you to Golden Circle Backpackers.
• Make sure you drive safely on the gravel roads.
