Your guide will give you plenty of time to enjoy each of these magnificent locations starting at the Geysir geothermal area.
Located in the Haukadalur Valley, Geysir is a fascinating site of geothermal activity. In addition to the Strokkur geyser, which goes off every ten minutes, visitors can see steaming vents, fumaroles, and boiling pools.
Next is Gullfoss, one of Iceland's best-known waterfalls. Cascading 105 feet (32 meters) over two drops and flowing at 4,944 cubic feet (140 cubic meters) every second, this powerful waterfall is an awe-inspiring attraction you shouldn't miss.

Thingvellir National Park is one of the most interesting geological sites in Iceland and the location of the first Icelandic parliament, Althingi.
After exploring the Golden Circle, it's time to relax. You'll briefly return to Reykjavik and grab a quick meal before heading south to the Reykjanes peninsula, where the world-famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is located.
The Blue Lagoon is known for its warm temperatures, milky-blue blue water, and silica mud skincare. The spa also offers massages, saunas, steam rooms, and delicious food.
