Discover the sights of Iceland's renowned Golden Circle and relax at the beautiful Secret Lagoon geothermal spa on this full-day private sightseeing tour from Reykjavik. Travelers who want to see Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and the Gullfoss waterfall with a private guide will love this Golden Circle tour with bonus stops.

The fun begins with collection from your accommodation in the Capital Region, where you'll meet your expert local guide. A private tour offers personalized attention and flexibility. You can tailor the day's route to your preferences and ask plenty of questions of your knowledgeable guide.

Step into the luxurious minivan, your transportation for the day. The comfortable van offers free Wi-Fi, meaning you can remain connected throughout the trip. Your guide will also provide each passenger with a bottle of water and a snack to keep energy levels up.

The first leg of the adventure leads to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site boasting historical and geological significance. The park sits in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, which are slowly drifting apart and changing Iceland's landscape.

You can spend a couple of hours exploring the gorgeous natural attractions in Thingvellir before continuing the expedition to the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. Cascading into a rugged canyon in two tiers, it captivates visitors with its size and raw power.

From here, your driver-guide will take you for a bonus stop at a local horse farm to spend quality time interacting with friendly Icelandic horses. You can feed and stroke them as you learn what makes this breed unique.

The journey continues to the Geysir geothermal area, renowned for its bubbling hot springs and the impressive Strokkur geyser. Witness the magic of Strokkur's eruptions as they send scalding water high into the air, a vivid demonstration of Iceland's geothermal activity.

After the sightseeing, it's time to unwind at the Secret Lagoon spa. Immersing yourself in the therapeutic waters of natural hot springs is a cherished pastime for locals and visitors alike.

When your group is relaxed, you'll move on to the striking Kerid crater. This volcanic crater lake is renowned for its vivid turquoise waters, which contrast against the surrounding volcanic slopes.

It's now time to drive back to Reykjavik — but not without another couple of stops. You'll pause at a local tomato farm using geothermal energy to grow crops. You can try a tomato beer or soup as you learn about the relationship between Iceland's geothermal resources and sustainable farming. On the way back, there's also an optional stop at the town of Hveragerdi.

You'll arrive in Reykjavik 10 or 11 hours after your departure with a camera full of photos and memories to last a lifetime.
