Golden Circle, Spa & Bubble Hotel
Description
The first stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and explore the area’s dramatic rift valley. We continue to Brúarfoss, a smaller but strikingly blue waterfall tucked away in the Icelandic countryside.
Next, visit the geothermal area of Geysir, where Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending hot water high into the air. From there, we travel to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, and take in the view of glacial water cascading into the canyon below. In the afternoon, we arrive at Laugarás Lagoon to relax and enjoy dinner in a peaceful setting before continuing to your private Bubble accommodation.
Spend the night surrounded by nature, in a transparent, heated bubble for comfort. On clear nights, the stars — and in winter, the Northern Lights — may be visible right from your bed.
After a restful night in the Bubble, we will journey back to Reykjavík and arrive approximately around 10:30.

Itinerary
Þingvellir National Park
Start your journey at Þingvellir. Here you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, explore the rift valley landscape, and see where Iceland’s first parliament was founded over a thousand years ago. The scenery is both geological and historical, offering a powerful introduction to Iceland’s natural beauty.
Brúarfoss Waterfall
Next, head to Brúárfoss, often called “the blue waterfall” for its striking turquoise color. Though smaller than many of Iceland’s waterfalls, it’s one of the most photogenic, with icy glacial water rushing through narrow channels of black volcanic rock. A short walk brings you to the viewing bridge, where the contrast of colors creates a truly memorable scene.
Geysir Geothermal Area
Continue to the geothermal field of Haukadalur, home to the original Geysir that gave its name to all others. While the Great Geysir remains inactive today, its neighbor Strokkur erupts every few minutes. The surrounding area steams with geothermal vents, bubbling pools, and the unmistakable scent of Iceland’s volcanic energy.
Gullfoss Waterfall
A short drive away lies Gullfoss — one of Iceland’s most famous natural landmarks. Here, glacial water from the Hvítá river plunges into a deep canyon, creating mist and rainbows on sunny days. The viewing platforms offer incredible angles for photography and a close-up sense of the waterfall’s power and scale.
Laugarás Lagoon
Your final stop on the Golden Circle is Laugarás Lagoon, a peaceful geothermal retreat surrounded by nature. It’s an ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring, with naturally warm water and a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy dinner here before heading to your Bubble accommodation, where you’ll spend the night under Iceland’s open sky.
Bubble Hotel
Nestled in nature, the transparent, heated bubbles offer comfort and tranquility beneath the open Icelandic sky. Fall asleep surrounded by nature, and, in winter, the possibility of starlight and the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
