Enjoy the perfect blend of wellness and adventure on this Golden Circle tour with an entry ticket to Laugaras Lagoon. This full-day journey is perfect for travelers who want to soak in Iceland’s bathing traditions and visit its most iconic natural landmarks without the stress of booking individual experiences.
This small-group tour from Reykjavik makes it easy to enjoy Iceland’s top attractions without the hassle. Ride in comfort, avoid the crowds, and let a local expert handle everything while you enjoy stunning landscapes and local secrets.
Your 9.5-hour adventure begins with a departure from Reykjavik or a more convenient, optional pickup from your hotel in the city. From there, meet your guide and settle in for a scenic drive along the Golden Circle, home to erupting geysers, powerful waterfalls, and ancient lava fields.
Before you dive into sightseeing, take time to unwind at Laugaras Lagoon, the latest geothermal spa in Iceland. Located on the banks of the Hvita River, this Icelandic lagoon spa offers a new way of exploring the Golden Circle.
This two-story lagoon stands out with a 23-foot (7-meter) man-made waterfall that flows between its main geothermal pools. It’s an eye-catching feature you won’t find in most lagoons in Iceland.
With a Birki standard entry at your fingertips, you’ll enjoy unlimited access to the entire outdoor wellness facilities. Your ticket also includes full access to personal lockers, changing rooms, and complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and shower gels.
Relax in one of two saunas or take a refreshing plunge in the cold pool. Swim among the trees in the forest pool, soak in the views from the infinity edge, and unwind in deep relaxation at a secluded grotto.
Once refreshed, you’ll continue your Golden Circle tour. Your guide will take you to Gullfoss, a majestic 105-foot (32-meter) waterfall. Gullfoss holds a special place in Icelandic history. In the early 1900s, Sigríður Tómasdóttir helped stop plans for a hydroelectric dam, preserving one of Iceland’s most photographed natural wonders.
Next, visit the Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur Valley. Here, you’ll watch Strokkur erupt every five to ten minutes, launching boiling water up to 65 feet (20 meters) into the sky. It’s a chance to witness Iceland’s geothermal power up close and capture unforgettable photos of nature in motion.
Finally, you’ll explore the dramatic landscapes of Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and geological wonder. Walk through Alamannagja Gorge, a vast rift valley where two continents meet. This awe-inspiring setting also served as the filming location for the Vale of Arryn in HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones.
Instead of following the usual route, this tour takes you through the Golden Circle in reverse. This gives you the chance to beat the crowds and experience each iconic stop in a more peaceful setting.
After the tour, your guide will drive you back to Reykjavik, allowing you to relax and take in the final views of Iceland’s countryside.
