The Golden Circle
Þingvellir, Gullfoss, Geysir and the Secret Lagoon
This is the Golden Circle tour people actually want. Small group, guided, pickup in Reykjavik. Then you get the extra most tours don’t include: the Secret Lagoon geothermal baths, included. See the sights, then relax — no extra ticket, no extra decisions.
Your day, stop by stop
Itinerary and timings can vary slightly with weather and conditions.
Pickup in Reykjavik
Pickup from designated bus stops and selected hotels between 10:00 and 10:30.
Þingvellir National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site where you walk through dramatic landscapes and stand between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates — and the historic home of Alþingi, Iceland’s first parliament.
Gullfoss Waterfall
The famous “Golden Falls”. Time for photos and viewpoints, and you may feel the spray. On a clear day you can see Langjökull, the glacier that feeds it, in the distance.
Geysir and Haukadalur
Strokkur erupts every few minutes, shooting water 20–30 metres into the air, among bubbling mud pools, steaming vents and the historic Great Geysir.
Lunch stop
A stop at a local restaurant (food not included).
Icelandic horses
A short stop to see Icelandic horses.
Secret Lagoon
Iceland’s oldest swimming pool, admission included. The water stays around 38–40°C year-round, and a small geyser erupts near the water’s edge.
