About this experience
Combine the Golden Circle with a relaxing soak on a private day from Reykjavik. Walk between two tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur erupt at the Geysir geothermal area and feel the spray at Gullfoss waterfall. Along the way you also see the colourful Kerid crater, then end the day with 2 hours at Hvammsvik Hot Springs, natural pools on the shore of Hvalfjordur fjord.
The price is per person and includes your Hvammsvik Natural entry ticket. The day runs at your pace, only for your group: a car for 2-3 travellers or a van for 4-8.
Your guide collects you from your Reykjavik accommodation with a VAREN name tablet, helps with your luggage and has water on request.
