What's included

Itinerary

1. Tour stop

   Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Here you can walk through the historic rift valley, enjoy beautiful views of lakes and lava fields, and learn about the site of Iceland’s ancient parliament. If conditions allow, you may also stop at Oxarafoss, a charming waterfall located within the park and surrounded by striking volcanic cliffs.

2. Tour stop

   The journey continues to the Geysir geothermal area, a fascinating landscape filled with bubbling hot springs and steaming vents. The highlight here is Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, sending a powerful burst of hot water high into the air.

3. Tour stop

   Just a short drive away is Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls, where glacial water rushes down two dramatic stages into a deep canyon, creating unforgettable views and mist rising from the falls.

4. Tour stop

   The adventure continues to Kerid Crater, a colorful volcanic crater lake known for its striking red volcanic slopes and vivid blue water. A short walk around the rim provides excellent views of this unique geological formation.

5. Tour stop

   After exploring the Golden Circle highlights, the tour continues toward the famous Blue Lagoon. Here you will have time to relax in the warm, mineral rich geothermal waters surrounded by dramatic lava fields. The milky blue water and peaceful setting provide the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Finally, sit back and enjoy the comfortable drive back to Reykjavik, where your driver guide will drop you off at your accommodation, completing a memorable day filled with Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders and a relaxing spa experience.
