Reykjavik Sightseeing

Located on the northern shores of Þingvallavatn (Iceland&#39;s largest lake), Þingvellir (anglicized as &#39;thingvellir&#39;) is the national pride of Iceland and our first National Park. It is, for one, a key location in Icelandic history as the oldest existing parliament in the world first assembled there in 930 AD. For this reason, Þingvellir has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is, therefore, a protected national park due to its unique geology and natural features. From the viewing area, the Almannagjá canyon between two tectonic plates can be seen, a visual representation of continental drift.As the first stop along the tour, you will have an opportunity to walk through the park and use the restroom if needed.

Þingvellir National Park

A favorite stop along the Golden Circle is the highly active Geysir Hot Spring Area with boiling mud pits and the lively Strokkur which spouts water 30 meters (100 ft) into the air every few minutes.The area became active more than 1000 years ago and comprises more than a dozen hot hot spring holes. Although one can only see steam emerging from the surface of Geysir these days, its name was adopted to represent spouting hot springs all over the world.Along the tour, the newly opened Geysir Center offers guests and travelers a chance to use the restroom and to catch some refreshments as well as lunch.

Geysir Geothermal Area

As one of the most popular attractions in all of Iceland, Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in the southwest of the country. The beautiful Hvítá river rushes southward in three steps into a narrow canyon with a breathtaking roar and grandeur. Furthermore, on clear days the magnificent Langjökull glacier, Iceland&#39;s second largest glacier, can be seen in the distance.  Guests and Travelers may use the restroom and purchase food and refreshments at this location as well.

Gullfoss Waterfall

The perfect way to round off the golden circle tour. You will have the chance to relax in the natural hot spring pool next to a spouting geyser which erupts every 5 minutes. The water stays at a warm 38-40 Celsius (100-104 Fahrenheit) and is sure not to disappoint, regardless of the weather conditions.

End of Tour 

Join us for a private bespoke Golden Circle journey in a luxury vehicle, where Iceland’s most celebrated landscapes unfold at your pace. This tour blends history, geology, and natural beauty while allowing flexibility to tailor stops around your interests. Whether you prefer scenic walks, geothermal bathing, cultural visits, or culinary experiences, your guide shapes the day to suit you.Departing from Reykjavik, you travel through farmland and lava fields toward Iceland’s most famous sightseeing circuit. The Golden Circle’s core highlights include the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir National Park, the erupting hot springs of Geysir Geothermal Area, and the dramatic cascade of Gullfoss Waterfall. Along the way, optional stops add depth and personalization — from geothermal spas to greenhouse dining.At Þingvellir, you stand between continents where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930. Walk the Almannagjá rift valley, admire Öxaráfoss waterfall, and witness the tectonic plates slowly drifting apart. The park also marks Iceland’s conversion to Christianity and remains a place of deep cultural importance.At Gullfoss, glacial meltwater plunges dramatically into a canyon, often cloaked in mist and rainbows. The waterfall’s preservation story highlights Iceland’s early environmental awareness.The geothermal landscape of Geysir introduces bubbling pools and erupting geysers. While the original Geysir is mostly dormant, Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending steaming water skyward.Beyond the classic trio, guests may choose to explore the vivid red slopes of Kerið Crater, relax in geothermal waters, snorkel between tectonic plates, or dine inside a tomato greenhouse.

Silfra constantly fills with glacial melt water from Langjökull, trickling through underground lava rock for 30 years. This remarkable crack between two tectonic plates is filled with the clearest water on our planet, allowing for over 100 meters of visibility.On the snorkeling tour, we will dress you in a dry suit and guide you through the four parts of the Silfra fissure. Floating through Silfra&#39;s crystal-clear water is an otherworldly experience. The near-freezing water, stunning colors, and flying sensations provide a unique environment for liquid meditation that you will never forget.<h5 style="font-size:28px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 52 , 64 , 78 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Laugarvatn Fontana</h5>In Fontana Spa, you can enjoy relaxing in geothermal hot pools. Soak in a natural pool, listen to the bubbling hot spring in the steam rooms, or take a dip in the refreshing lake for the more venturesome.Lauga, Sæla, and Viska are connected outdoor mineral baths that vary in depth, size, and temperature. The pools and hot tub are perfect for both relaxation and recreation, featuring playful artwork in stone made by Icelandic artist Erla Thorarinsdottir.Viska, the hot tub, is built at a slightly higher level, providing a panoramic view of the beautiful surroundings. Since 1929, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths by Lake Laugarvatn. Hot, healing steam simmers directly from the ground through grids in the cabin floors of the three traditional steam rooms.The temperature of the steam varies depending on the temperature of the hot spring and the weather. It is usually between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F). Humidity is very high in the steam room cabins. Grids in the floor of the steam rooms allow guests to hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring right underneath, creating a natural and unique experience.Completing the ensemble is the lake itself and the beach. Bathers can walk from a pier to the calm lake or on the warm black sand beach. A cool dip between the hot steam rooms and sauna is a refreshing temperature shift for a healthy heart. Cold bathing is believed to have beneficial health effects, such as improving blood circulation and speeding up muscle soreness and recovery. It has also benefited those with arthritis and other joint illnesses.<h5 style="font-size:28px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 52 , 64 , 78 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Secret Lagoon</h5>The Secret Lagoon, known locally as Gamla laugin (the Old Pool), is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. It was made in 1891 at Hverahólmur, a geothermal area near Flúðir.What makes the place unique is the rich natural resources of warm water coming from hot springs. Vaðmálahver, Básahver, or Litli Geysir (active geyser which spouts every few minutes, showing off for the guests), provide 100% of the water supply in the lagoon.The pool water flows continuously, and it takes only 24 hours for its complete replacement. Warm, clean, and rich in sulfur, it stays at 38-40 degrees Celsius all year round.Centuries ago, people used the hot springs of Hverahólmur to wash their clothes and bathe. The Old Pool was where people were taught how to swim between 1909 and 1947. However, after that, the pool fell into disrepair, and people slowly forgot about it. In 2005, it was decided to give it a second life. The idea was to make the pool more comfortable than it had been but still authentic, and, in the end, the Secret Lagoon was born and opened in June 2014.The Secret Lagoon has been kept natural, simple, and unique for you to get the authentic Icelandic experience.<h5 style="font-size:28px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 52 , 64 , 78 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Friðheimar Tomato Farm</h5>Have you ever been out for a meal in a greenhouse? Enjoy a unique food experience at Friðheimar Greenhouse restaurant, with tomatoes growing all around! Tomato soup, fresh-baked bread, and other goodies in a charming environment among the plants.As the name suggests, tomatoes are grown all year round, despite Iceland&#39;s long dark winters. They use artificial lighting in greenhouses to do that. Visitors can enjoy a taste of their crop, and many agree you will get the best tomato soup you will ever taste there!The farm grows about 370 tonnes of vegetables yearly (primarily tomatoes and cucumbers). All additional activities that extend the tour duration will incur separate charges. Examples of such activities include visiting the Blue Lagoon, glacier hiking, snowmobiling, and similar excursions. Additionally, the tour price will increase for each hour added beyond the standard duration of the tour.
