Private Golden Circle Tour with Secret Lagoon & Dairy Farm Experience

Discover the best of Iceland’s natural wonders on a private Golden Circle tour with a local guide. This 10-hour tour takes you to Iceland’s most popular sightseeing route with opportunities to enjoy a delicious farm-to-table lunch and a relaxing soak in a secluded lagoon.

This full-day tour is perfect for travelers who want to skip the crowds, avoid the hassle of big buses, and enjoy a more personal experience in Iceland. With private transportation and a knowledgeable guide, you can focus on enjoying the beautiful scenery around you.

Your adventure begins with a stress-free pickup directly from your accommodation in Reykjavik. From there, your local guide is ready to take you straight to the Golden Circle sightseeing route without the hassle.

Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO-listed site where you can have a rare chance to walk between two tectonic plates. Iceland’s first parliament, Althingi, met here over a thousand years ago, which gives this geological wonder deep historical significance.

Next is the colorful Kerid Crater. Unlike most of Iceland’s dark volcanic scenery, Kerid’s red slopes and striking blue lake stand out in bold contrast. The easy walk around the rim offers wide-open views and a refreshing perspective on Iceland’s volcanic past.

From there, it’s time to slow down and enjoy a peaceful lunch at a local dairy farm. Inside the cozy farmhouse, you can order fresh skyr, homemade cheese, and other traditional treats, subject to additional costs.

After lunch, you'll explore the Haukadalur Geothermal Valley, home to the Great Geysir, which lent its name to geysers worldwide. While Geysir is now mostly dormant, nearby Strokkur steals the show, erupting every five to ten minutes with boiling water that can reach up to 66 feet (20 meters) high.

Continue your Golden Circle tour at the mighty Gullfoss Waterfall. Here, water crashes into a deep canyon in two tiers, filling the air with mist and often creating rainbows. A short, well-kept trail from the parking lot makes it easy to get close and enjoy the full view.

After exploring the Golden Circle’s natural wonders, unwind like a local in the Secret Lagoon, the oldest pool in Iceland. With steam rising all around and an open sky above, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure.

Soaking in a hot spring is part of Iceland’s long-standing traditions and one of the best ways to connect with the local way of life. The entrance ticket to the Secret Lagoon can be added during the booking process.

With a private guide, you get more than just transportation. You get stories, insights, and a flexible pace that allows you to truly enjoy each stop. Whether interested in geology, history, or beautiful scenery, this tour brings together one unforgettable experience.
