Description

Discover Iceland’s Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Traditional Food Tasting Short on time but craving an unforgettable Icelandic experience? This full-day small group tour from Reykjavík offers the perfect mix of dramatic landscapes, geothermal baths, and authentic local flavor. Visit famous sights like Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and the Secret Lagoon — and enjoy a traditional food tasting inside a historic turf cave home. Golden Circle Highlights Þingvellir National Park Step between two continents at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Iceland’s first parliament was founded in 930 AD. Walk the rift valley created by the shifting North American and Eurasian tectonic plates — a powerful and unique moment. Geysir Geothermal Area At the Geysir Hot Spring Area, you’ll witness Strokkur erupt every 5–8 minutes, sending steaming water high into the air. Explore bubbling mud pots and feel the ground tremble beneath your feet. Gullfoss Waterfall One of Iceland’s most iconic sights. Gullfoss plunges in two tiers into a rugged canyon.
