The Golden Circle & The Secret Lagoon pick-up 8 AM/9 hrs (G11)

Discover Iceland’s most famous natural wonders in the comfort of a small-group minibus and enjoy soaking in the geothermal waters at Iceland's oldest swimming pool, the Secret Lagoon.

We'll kick off the day with a morning pick-up from your selected location. A 40-minute drive brings us to our first stop: Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park. It was once home to Iceland's first parliament, Althingi. Stepping into Thingvellir, you'll immediately sense the power of standing in a rift valley, proof of our Earth's constant movement. Exploring the park, you'll walk between the two tectonic plates—Eurasian and North American.

Next up on our itinerary is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls: Gullfoss, translated to "Golden Waterfall." Gullfoss receives glacial waters from Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier.

Next on our itinerary is the Geysir Geothermal Area, which is famous for being home to Iceland's most well-known geysers. This area is actually the namesake of all geysers! Here, you’ll stroll among bubbling water pools, clear geothermal springs, and steam vents. The most active geyser, Strokkur, erupts every 4 to 10 minutes, giving you many chances to see boiling water shoot up between 49 and 65.6 feet (15 to 20 meters) into the air.

After seeing so many attractions, you’ll regain your energy soaking in geothermal waters at Iceland's oldest swimming pool,  Secret Lagoon. Located in the moss-covered lava fields, this pool harnesses geothermal power to keep the water at 100.4° - 104°F (38° - 40°C) throughout the year. As you swim, look out for a small geyser erupting near the edge!

Our final stop of the day is definitely worth the wait. Kerið is a striking volcanic crater filled with a vivid blue lake and framed by steep slopes. The crater is around 6,500 years old, yet it still feels alive with color and texture. In summer, its walls are painted red and green by moss and minerals, while in winter, the blue lake contrasts beautifully with the white snow. Nicknamed the “Eye of the Earth,” Kerið is a photographer’s dream and a scenic finale to your adventure.
