For travelers short on time but looking for a packed day trip, the Golden Circle delivers: geysers, waterfalls, tectonic plates, and a relaxing dip in Iceland’s oldest natural pool, the Secret Lagoon. Treat yourself to a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Golden Circle Highlights:
Þingvellir National Park: Walk through Icelandic history where the first parliament was founded in 930 AD. You can even cross between the North American and European tectonic plates.
Geysir: Visit the geothermal area where Strokkur erupts every 5-8 minutes. Have your camera ready to capture this incredible natural display.
Gullfoss Waterfall: A powerful waterfall plunging into the Hvítá canyon. When weather allows, walk down for a closer look at this breathtaking cascade.
Secret Lagoon: End the day with a soothing soak in Iceland’s oldest natural swimming pool. The warm geothermal waters provide the perfect relaxation.
Friðheimar Tomato Farm: Visit a greenhouse famous for fresh tomato soup and bread (lunch not included).
Stunning Sights & Unique Stops
We start by leaving Reykjavik and passing by Hellisheiðavirkjun, Iceland’s largest geothermal power station. Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park.
Þingvellir National Park
Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not just home to Iceland’s first parliament, but also lets you walk between two continents. A historic and geographic marvel, it's a must-see for any traveler.
Geysir Geothermal Area
At Geysir, Strokkur takes center stage, erupting every few minutes. Be ready with your camera to capture this impressive and fun natural wonder.
Gullfoss Waterfall
Next, we visit Gullfoss, Iceland’s 'Golden Waterfall,' which plunges into a deep crevice. If conditions are favorable, take a short walk to the falls and experience its raw power.
Secret Lagoon
We finish the tour with a dip in the Secret Lagoon, a natural hot spring that maintains a comfortable 38-40°C. Surrounded by stunning scenery, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.
