Private 8-Hour Sightseeing Tour in the Golden Circle with Secret Lagoon from Reykjavik in Jeep

Visit three of the most visited natural attractions in Iceland on this private luxury tour to the Golden Circle. If you want to pack your day seeing waterfalls, geysers, and more landscapes with a bonus hot spring bathing at the Secret Lagoon, then this itinerary is the perfect adventure to book.

For your convenience, your tour in Iceland begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik or a designated bus stop. You'll meet your private guide here, doubling as your driver, who will enrich your day with exciting trivia and local tales. Feel free to ask them questions for the next eight hours.

Your first stop is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site 28 miles (45 kilometers) from Reykjavik. The park's unique geological features are a testament to the powerful forces shaping Iceland. 

Here, you'll witness the breathtaking Almannagja gorge, a dramatic fissure that marks the Mid-Atlantic ridge. As you explore this historic location, your guide will share fascinating stories about the park's significance in Icelandic history and culture.

Next, you'll head to the Geysir geothermal area, where the earth comes to life with powerful hot springs and geysers. The most active of these is Strokkur, which erupts with boiling water up to 66 feet (20 meters) high. 

Make sure to ready your camera here because Strokkur gives a dramatic eruption every five to 10 minutes.

The Golden Circle's last feature is its namesake, the Gullfoss waterfall, known as the "Golden Falls." As you stand beside this awe-inspiring cascade, you'll feel the sheer force of the glacial river Hvita as it plunges into a two-tiered flow and a narrow canyon. 

The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, with dramatic cliffs and lush valleys stretching as far as the eyes can see. On a sunny day, it's even possible to see rainbows above the waterfall's heavy mist.

After a day of sightseeing, it's time to unwind and relax in the village of Fludir, where you'll find the enchanting Secret Lagoon. This geothermal hot spring is a hidden gem of Iceland, and your guide will introduce you to its soothing waters.

The Secret Lagoon is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. As you slip into the warm and tranquil waters, you'll understand why hot spring bathing is an integral part of the Icelandic culture. 

You can add an entrance ticket to the Secret Lagoon during the booking process.

Throughout your Golden Circle adventure, you'll travel in style in a luxurious SUV that accommodates up to six guests. This small-group setting ensures that you receive personalized attention from your guide, making the experience even more memorable. 

After sightseeing and geothermal bathing, the guide will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
