Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up in a comfortable private vehicle from your hotel in Reykjavik. This is a private tour, so your group can enjoy a more convenient and relaxing time while traversing the iconic Icelandic route of the Golden Circle.

The Golden Circle is a famous tourist route east of Reykjavik, spanning 190 miles (300 kilometers). This tourist route boasts diverse natural attractions, from waterfalls to valleys, that travelers can visit in just one day.

First to explore is the first UNESCO World Heritage site in Iceland, the Thingvellir National Park. Thingvellir is most known for its breathtaking geological formations, where you can find the rift valley separating the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. 

While taking a stroll in the area, don't miss your chance to see the Oxararfoss waterfall to maximize your trip.

Next, prepare to be amazed as you venture into the Geysir geothermal area. Witness the raw power of nature as the Strokkur geyser erupts, shooting boiling water high into the air at 66 feet (20 meters). Besides geysers, bubbling mud pools and hot springs characterize this unique landscape.

Near Geysir is Gullfoss or "Golden falls", the waterfall that gave the Golden Circle its name. As you approach its 105-foot (32-meter) cliff, its massive drop, thunderous roar, and cold mist will welcome you. If you visit on a sunny day, you might see a rainbow above the Gullfoss waterfall.

After a morning filled with natural wonders, it's time to indulge in a unique culinary experience at Fridheimar farm in Reykholt. Fridheimar features a tomato farm and greenhouse powered by geothermal energy. Your tour package includes a delicious lunch from the farm's fresh produce.

Around this area, the guide will take you to a horse farm where you will meet and learn more about the majestic horses of Iceland.

To end your day of exploration on a high note, your last stop will be the Secret Lagoon in Fludir. This hidden gem offers the perfect setting to unwind and rejuvenate through a geothermal bath. Immerse yourself in the warm, soothing waters, surrounded by untouched Icelandic nature.

After a satisfying time in the Golden Circle, you'll drive back to Reykjavik, marking the end of your nine-hour adventure.
