Experience Iceland’s most popular attractions on the world-famous Golden Circle route, with the turquoise waters of Kerid Crater and the relaxing Fontana Spa adding unforgettable highlights. This family-friendly adventure is perfect for travelers seeking a balance of Icelandic exploration, delicious local food options, and relaxing experiences.
Throughout this small-group Golden Circle tour, you’ll witness Iceland’s natural beauty, enjoy family-friendly activities, and find moments of relaxation along the way. Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from Reykjavik, so you can start exploring without any hassle.
The first destination is Kerid Crater, a 3,000-year-old volcanic caldera that’s as photogenic as it is fascinating. The steep red slopes frame a vivid blue-green lake at the bottom, creating a striking contrast. You can walk around the rim for panoramic views or descend to the lake’s edge to get a closer look at this geological marvel.
Next, you’ll stop at Faxifoss, a wide, gentle waterfall nestled in lush greenery. Unlike Iceland’s larger, more dramatic falls, Faxifoss offers a peaceful, calm setting that’s perfect for families with small children.
From there, you’ll visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, with its bubbling mud pools and steaming vents creating an otherworldly landscape. The star attraction, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes, sending boiling water up to 66 feet (20 meters) into the air. Kids and adults will be amazed as the geyser bursts from the earth, giving everyone a chance to capture the perfect action shot.
Not far from Geysir lies Bruarfoss Waterfall, a glacier-fed cascade flowing through a narrow volcanic channel. Its striking blue waters tumble over black lava rocks and shimmer in the sunlight, making it a truly enchanting spot for photos.
After the morning adventures, you’ll head to Efsti-Dalur, a charming family-run dairy farm nestled in Iceland’s scenic countryside. Here, you’ll have the option to enjoy a delicious farm-to-table lunch featuring fresh Icelandic dishes and homemade ice cream.
Finally, your Golden Circle tour unwinds at Laugarvatn Fontana Spa, perched beside a peaceful lake and powered by natural geothermal energy. Kids can enjoy the shallow geothermal pools, splashing and playing in safe, warm water. Meanwhile, adults can relax in the hotter baths or steam rooms, making it the perfect ending to a full day of adventure in Iceland.
Hop on this family-friendly Golden Circle tour and explore geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic craters, ending the adventure with a relaxing soak at Fontana Spa. Check availability now by checking a date.
