What's included

Itinerary

1. Tour stop

   Start the day with a leisurely swim in the Secret Lagoon, one of the oldest natural geothermal pools in Iceland, nestled amongst bubbling hot springs and a small erupting geyser. Steam rises from the surrounding geothermal area as you relax in the warm mineral-rich water, which holds at 38-40*C year-round.

2. Tour stop

   In the Geysir geothermal area in the Haukadalur valley, Strokkur fountain geyser spouts water high into the air every few minutes. In case hunger is eating you up enjoy some traditional Icelandic food at the Glíma Geysir restaurant.

3. Tour stop

   The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7 minutes’ drive from Geysir – located in the glacial river Hvítá. It's elegant and majestic form is like no other, where the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32 meters deep canyo

4. Tour stop

   Þingvellir National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also a place charged with history, as the site of the national parliament since 930. Þingvellir tells stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. Þingvellir was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its cultural values in 2004.

5. Tour stop

   A traveler visiting Kerid Crater Lake would typically take a short walk around the crater’s rim to admire its striking turquoise waters and vibrant red volcanic rock. They might descend a set of steps to the water’s edge for a closer look or snap photos of the contrasting colors and dramatic surroundings. Guided tours often include background on the lake’s volcanic origins, and visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while learning about Iceland’s natural history. Some people linger to appreciate the landscape’s changing light and enjoy the unique vantage point over the crater from different angles around the rim.
