Itinerary
This tour departs at three different start times – the times below show all three options for each stop.
We pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavík to begin your day on the Golden Circle. Three departure windows are available, so your exact pickup time will be confirmed with your booking.
The first stop of the day is Þingvellir National Park, one of Iceland’s most important historical and geological sites. Here, you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and see how the landscape has been shaped by centuries of geological activity. Þingvellir is also the birthplace of Iceland’s parliament, making it a site of great cultural significance, with beautiful views over Lake Þingvallavatn and surrounding lava fields.
Next, the tour continues to the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur. This active geothermal field features bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and Strokkur geyser, which erupts regularly, sending water high into the air. It is one of the most dynamic and photographed locations along the Golden Circle.
From Geysir, the journey leads to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. The glacier-fed Hvítá River plunges in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon below, creating a powerful and impressive natural display. Visitors can walk along marked paths to several viewing platforms and experience the force and beauty of the waterfall up close.
After visiting Gullfoss, the tour stops at Kerið volcanic crater. This striking natural formation features red volcanic rock, green moss, and a vivid blue lake at its base. Guests may walk down to the water’s edge or enjoy panoramic views from the rim, making it a popular and scenic photo stop.
The final stop of the day is the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s world-famous geothermal spa located on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Here, guests can relax in warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by lava fields and rising steam. This peaceful setting provides the perfect ending to a day of sightseeing, offering time to unwind and recharge before returning.
After your soak in the Blue Lagoon, we drop you off back at your pickup location in Reykjavík, concluding a full day of sightseeing and relaxation around the Golden Circle.
