Description
Enjoy Iceland's most magnificent natural sites and round off your day with a relaxing dip in the Sky Lagoon on this 10-hour tour. Those curious to visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a geyser, a beautiful waterfall, and a hot spring should book this Golden Circle and geothermally bathing excursion now.
Your bus will leave the tour departure point and head for the first site of the Golden Circle, Iceland's most famous geothermal sightseeing route. Thingvellir National Park is a place rich in history, culture, and geological significance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Walk the rift valley between two tectonic plates where Icelanders first established their democracy more than 1,000 years ago and hear the tales of Viking-age justice.
The next stop is "The Great Geysir" hot spring, which consists of vividly colored earth, bubbling mud pools, and hissing steam vents. The Strokkur geyser shoots water high up into the sky every few minutes.
From there, you'll travel to see Gulfoss, one of Iceland's most photographed waterfalls. It lives up to its name, which means "golden falls" in Icelandic. Gullfoss is a majestic waterfall that flows down rocky steps before plunging into the gorge below.
On sunny days, rainbows abound in the mists that rise from the cascade. There are multiple paths around the waterfall to take photos from various vantage points. You'll have some extra time here to eat lunch, which you can purchase from Gullfoss Cafe.
After visiting these iconic sites, the bus will take you outside Reykjavik for the ultimate relaxation experience at the Sky Lagoon. Enjoy this typical Icelandic pastime by submerging yourself in a first-class geothermal spa located on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
Visiting involves a process called the Skjol bathing ritual that will make you feel incredibly refreshed. Start by relaxing in the lagoon and breathing in the fresh Icelandic air. Then move to the glacier-cold pool to get your blood flowing. Afterward, head to the sauna and take in the breathtaking view.
Walk through the cold fog-mist space to refresh your senses, and then apply the body scrub for glowing skin. Head into the steam to maximize the scrub's hydrating effects and, finally, take a shower to finish off the ritual.
Don't miss out on this unique 10-hour experience to see the iconic natural sites of the Golden Circle and then wind down in the Sky Lagoon's warm waters. Check availability now by choosing a date.
