Experience Iceland’s most iconic sights on this eight-hour private Golden Circle tour, complete with a luxury jeep and an optional visit to the Secret Lagoon. This tour is designed for travelers seeking comfort and exclusivity while exploring breathtaking natural attractions.
Your day in Iceland begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik accommodation. A luxury jeep that can navigate Iceland’s rugged landscapes comfortably will be your tour vehicle for the next eight hours.
With this guided private tour, your day will be filled with stories, facts, and insights that make each location come to life. You also get to enjoy flexibility in the itinerary and a more immersive experience compared to bus tours, with ample opportunities to stop for photographs.
The Golden Circle’s first highlight is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and natural beauty. Here, you’ll explore the rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates create a unique geological setting.
Thingvellir also boasts Iceland’s oldest parliament, the Althing, dating back to the 10th century.
As you journey through the park, you can discover spectacular viewpoints overlooking Thingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest natural lake. An up-close look at Silfra fissure awaits you in this area, a favorite spot among divers worldwide due to its crystal-clear glacial waters.
Next, you’ll make a quick stop at Laugarvatn lake. Stunning countryside views surround the lake, home to a well-known hot spring spa. This stop also offers an optional lunch at Efstidalur Organic Farm, where fresh Icelandic dishes and homemade ice cream highlight local flavors.
Following this, you’ll arrive at the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur valley. Its main draw, Strokkur geyser, erupts every five to ten minutes, sending steaming water 66 feet (20 meters) into the sky.
Nearby, the Gullfoss waterfall, another Golden Circle highlight, showcases a dramatic and vast two-tier cascade. The area has multiple viewing platforms to enjoy its breathtaking flow and rainbows.
To make your day extra special, you can visit the Secret Lagoon in the village of Fludir. This charming geothermal pool, one of Iceland’s oldest natural swimming spots, offers a chance to soak in warm waters surrounded by peaceful countryside.
If you add an entrance ticket during the booking process, you can enjoy the Secret Lagoon’s relaxing ambiance. The thermal bath is often accompanied by gentle steam rising from the lagoon’s surface.
If time allows, additional stops, such as the Faxi waterfall or the crater lake at Kerid, offer bonus photo opportunities and a chance to explore more of Iceland’s lesser-known landscapes.
The guide will drop you off at your accommodation in Reykjavik at the end of your trip.
