About this tour

Golden circle + Secret Lagoon

Combine the popular Golden Circle sightseeing tour with a relaxing trip to the phenomenal Secret Lagoon natural hot springs. Soak in the unique and natural waters of the hot springs and enjoy all the wonders of the attractions that make up the famous Golden Circle - on this 9 hour, small group tour directly from Reykjavik that ensures a more personal experience. Thingvellir National Park, Geysir hot spring area and Gullfoss waterfall are three of the most popular attractions in Iceland and together they combine some of the most iconic landmarks of Iceland.

Thingvellir

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, where nature's wonders intertwine with rich history, creating one of Iceland's most captivating attractions. As you step into Þingvellir, you'll immediately notice its unique setting in a rift valley—a powerful reminder that our planet's crust is in constant motion. The striking landscape, marked by the pulling apart of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, tells a story millions of years in the making.

But that's not all! Here, you'll also discover Althing, Iceland's very first national parliament, along with the mesmerizing Silfra Fissure, the dramatic Almannagjá rift, and breathtaking views of Þingvallavatn lake. Get ready to immerse yourself in nature's wonders and uncover the secrets of this extraordinary place.

Gullfoss

Our adventure will then lead us to the breathtaking Gullfoss, aptly named the "golden waterfall," situated at the very edge of the Icelandic Highlands. Cascading gracefully within the canyon of the Hvíta River, Gullfoss is fed by the Langjökull glacier to the north, lending it a majestic aura.

As a two-tiered waterfall, Gullfoss seems to vanish into the depths below, with its waters plunging an impressive 32 meters. The waterfall offers a mesmerizing display of nature's power, showcasing the raw forces of Icelandic landscapes.

Regardless of the season, Gullfoss captivates with its awe-inspiring beauty, making it a must-see destination on our journey through Iceland's natural wonders.

Geysir

Our next destination is the Geysir geothermal field, home to one of the world's most renowned geysers—the very namesake of these incredible natural wonders! Here, you'll have the chance to wander amidst bubbling water pools, crystal-clear geothermal springs, and steam vents. Keep your eyes peeled for the spectacular sight of a geyser erupting before you.

Although now dormant, Geysir once held the title of the tallest geyser in history, towering an impressive 122 meters (400 ft) into the sky. But fear not, for Geysir's little brother, Strokkur, has stepped into the limelight. As the most active geyser in Iceland, Strokkur puts on a mesmerizing show, erupting every 4 to 10 minutes, ensuring you'll have plenty of opportunities to witness its breath-taking eruptions.

Secret lagoon

We'll make a final stop at the Secret Lagoon, Iceland's oldest pool. Nestled amidst natural surroundings, this man-made pool harnesses the Earth's geothermal warmth, maintaining a soothing temperature of 38-40° Celsius (100° Fahrenheit) throughout the year.
