Description
Discover the best of Iceland in one unforgettable day with a tour that combines the iconic Golden Circle, the luxurious Blue Lagoon, and the awe-inspiring northern lights. This all-in-one adventure offers a comfortable and enriching journey through some of the country's most breathtaking attractions.
The adventure begins with a morning pick-up in Reykjavik. Traveling in a small group aboard a comfortable minibus, you'll enjoy a relaxed, intimate setting as your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights and stories about Iceland's natural wonders.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its dramatic geology and profound history. Here, you'll walk along Almannagja gorge, the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and learn about Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, established in 930 AD.
The other two highlights of the Golden Circle are the Geysir geothermal area and the Gullfoss waterfall. While Geysir is home to bubbling hot springs and the active Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss is the most famous waterfall in Iceland with its two-tiered cascade and rainbows.
Before leaving the sightseeing route, the guide will take your group to the Keird crater. The crater is 6,500 years old and features red slopes going down a turquoise lake.
The second part of this day tour is thermal bathing at the Blue Lagoon. This world-famous spa is situated on a moss-covered lava field and boasts a vast lagoon with milky-blue waters.
With the Comfort admission package already included in the tour price, you can enjoy a relaxing soak at the lagoon. You can also take advantage of the Blue Lagoon's amenities and facilities, including a face mask, towel use, a drink of your choice, sauna, steam rooms, and more.
For an extra cost, you can also buy drinks from the in-water bar or try out the relaxing massages.
Following the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon visits, you will return to Reykjavik for a quick break. Late in the evening, the minibus will pick you up for the last part of your adventure, northern lights hunting.
Your guide will lead you to remote locations with minimal light pollution, maximizing your chances of witnessing the aurora borealis. With the right forecast and weather conditions, you'll watch the sky come alive with ribbons of green, pink, red, or purple light.
The trip will make its best effort to hunt for the aurora borealis. However, please note that sighting is not guaranteed because the lights are natural phenomena and depend on specific conditions.
