Description

Begin your day the Icelandic way with sund, the beloved morning ritual of soaking in warm geothermal pools. This is where locals gather, reset, and start the day in the most natural Icelandic rhythm. The Sunny Valkyrie will guide you through the simple traditions and meaning of sund before giving you time to enjoy the warm pools, hot pots, and refreshing morning air at your own pace. After sund, step into the Land Cruiser for a light Icelandic snack basket and fresh thermos coffee, a perfect post-soak boost as you begin your journey into the Golden Circle. Expect small, comforting Icelandic bites—flatkaka, skyr, a little sweet—just enough to refuel without feeling heavy. Your private day continues with Iceland’s most iconic landmarks: walking between continents at Þingvellir, watching Strokkur erupt at Geysir, and feeling the roar of Gullfoss. At Friðheimar, enjoy an optional warm, greenhouse-fresh tomato lunch. The afternoon brings the turquoise crater Kerið, followed by a meaningful drive through Grindavík, a community shaped by Iceland’s living geology and resilience. Throughout the day, the Sunny Valkyrie shares stories from her family farm, teaches fun Icelandic phrases, and brings the landscape to life with local humor, warmth, and lived knowledge. This is a private, authentic experience designed for travelers who want to soak, taste, see, and feel Iceland the Icelandic way.

Includes

Start your day the Icelandic way with the traditional sund ritual, including access to warm geothermal pools, hot pots, and steam. Your private guide—the Sunny Valkyrie—introduces the local customs and offers light coaching for a seamless, authentic experience. After sund, enjoy a curated Icelandic snack basket with flatkaka, skyr, a small sweet bite, and fresh thermos coffee served in the Land Cruiser. Your full-day private Golden Circle tour includes premium transportation, all parking fees, bottled water, and curated storytelling at Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, Kerið, and the village of Grindavík. The experience also includes Icelandic phrase-teaching, local cultural insights, and photography support throughout the day.

Important Information

  • Please arrive ready for the sund ritual with a swimsuit; towels can be rented at the pool. Showering without swimwear is required before entering the water, in line with Icelandic hygiene rules. The sund portion takes place in a local geothermal pool where facilities and conditions are authentically Icelandic, not spa-style. Timing and routes may be weather dependent, as Icelandic conditions can shift quickly—dress in warm layers and bring a hat and gloves. Walking paths at Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss are generally accessible but may be icy in winter. Lunch at Friðheimar is optional and paid on-site. This is a private tour with a flexible pace, but the schedule may adjust based on weather or road conditions. Morning snacks and coffee are provided; additional food and drinks can be purchased along the route.
