Description
See the highlights of the Golden Circle on this private day tour from Reykjavik, with the option to end the day at the Blue Lagoon. You walk between continents at Thingvellir National Park, and see Strokkur Geyser, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Oxararfoss Waterfall.
As it's a private tour, you can travel at your own pace, and your guide can add stops when time allows.
Your guide picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart in a rift valley. It's also where the Icelandic parliament first met in 930.
Next is the Geysir Geothermal Area, with its steaming vents and bubbling pools. The highlight is Strokkur Geyser, which shoots boiling water 49 to 66 feet (15 to 20 meters) into the air every 4 to 16 minutes.
Then you visit Gullfoss Waterfall, where the Hvita River falls in two tiers into a deep canyon, often with rainbows in the mist. Gullfoss Waterfall is one of the most powerful waterfalls in Iceland.
The last stop is Oxararfoss Waterfall in Thingvellir National Park, where clear water tumbles over basalt cliffs into a rocky stream.
On request, you can also stop at Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater with a lake at the bottom. The entry ticket isn't included.
If you choose the Blue Lagoon option, the day ends with a soak in the warm, milky-blue water, surrounded by lava fields. Then your guide drives you back to Reykjavik and drops you off at your accommodation.
