Description

Discover some of Iceland's best natural attractions on this fantastic Golden Circle sightseeing tour, which includes a bonus stop at the Secret Lagoon geothermal spa. Travelers who want to visit the most renowned attractions in Iceland and enjoy a relaxing soak in soothing geothermal waters will love this combination trip from Reykjavik.

The tour begins at your accommodation in the Icelandic capital. Your expert local guide will collect you in a minibus from your hotel or a nearby bus stop. After the other guests have boarded the bus, you'll head out of the city to the day's first stop.

Today's first attraction is the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural attractions. This impressive waterfall is about 105 feet (32 meters) tall and almost 70 feet (20 meters) wide. Its two-tiered cascade provides a breathtaking spectacle.

Stand on the viewing platform and feel the mist on your face as you photograph this beautiful waterfall. 

Continuing your expedition, you'll head to the Geysir geothermal area, an otherworldly landscape dominated by the famous Strokkur geyser. 

The Strokkur geyser erupts every five to ten minutes, sending jets of hot water up to 100 feet (30 meters) into the air. Make sure you have your camera on hand to capture this fascinating display.

The next stop is Thingvellir National Park, one of three in Iceland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

The park sits in the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which pull apart and dramatically change Iceland's landscape. Visitors can explore the Mid-Atlantic Rift Valley and learn more about the area's history.

Thingvellir National Park is where Iceland's parliament, the Althingi, first formed in 930 AD. As you head into the park in the minibus, your guide will tell you more about the area's history and geology. 

Most Golden Circle tours conclude with these three sights, but this one includes a trip to the Secret Lagoon geothermal spa. Relax in the mineral-rich waters and enjoy their healing properties. The spa is thought to be home to the country's oldest swimming pool. 

At the end of your tour, the minibus will take you back to Reykjavik in time for a fun evening in the city center or a quiet night at your accommodation. 

On this day trip from Reykjavik, you can explore the sights of the Golden Circle sightseeing route and soak in a geothermal swimming pool. Check availability now by choosing a date.
