Experience the ultimate adventure in Iceland on this 12-hour private Golden Circle tour with entry to the Blue Lagoon. Explore Iceland’s most famous natural wonders and end the day with a relaxing soak in its most iconic geothermal spa, combining sightseeing and relaxation.
Everything is taken care of for you, including your Blue Lagoon ticket, so you can skip the hassle of planning and focus on the adventure.
Your private day tour in Iceland begins with a pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik at 9:00 AM. From there, relax and enjoy the comfort of a luxury vehicle as your private driver navigates Iceland’s scenic roads.
The first stop in the Golden Circle is Thingvellir National Park, one of the few places in the world where you can see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge above ground. Walk between tectonic plates at Almannagja Gorge, pass the site of the first parliament, and admire the beauty of Oxararfoss Waterfall.
You’ll also visit Thingvallavatn, the country’s largest lake, while your guide shares fascinating stories of shifting geology and Viking legends that shaped the land.
Next is the Geysir Geothermal Area, a landscape of hot springs and steaming vents. While the Great Geysir is mostly dormant today, its neighbor Strokkur steals the show by erupting every few minutes. Watch as each eruption sends a towering column of boiling water and steam into the sky.
Then, visit Gullfoss Waterfall, where a two-tiered thundering cascade plunges into a deep canyon. At the viewing platforms, you’ll feel the spray and hear the roar of rushing water. You’ll also learn how this natural wonder was saved from modern development.
Unlike most Golden Circle tours, this journey continues to Kerid Crater, a volcanic caldera formed around 6,500 years ago. Its red slopes and blue lake create one of the most photogenic scenes in Iceland. Walking the rim offers excellent viewpoints of the colors of Iceland’s volcanic landscapes.
Finally, you’ll go for a scenic drive to the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s world-renowned geothermal spa. Located in a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula, this site was named one of National Geographic’s “25 Wonders of the World” in 2012 for its unique geothermal seawater.
With your included Blue Lagoon Comfort ticket, you’ll have two hours to unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters. Treat your skin with a complimentary silica mask before relaxing with a drink from the in-water bar. A towel is provided for your convenience.
Conclude your adventure with a comfortable drive back to Reykjavik. Your guide takes you back to your accommodation, leaving you with lasting memories of fascinating stories and Iceland’s remarkable landscapes.
