Full description

Embark on a bus tour of Iceland’s legendary Golden Circle and soak in the thermal waters of the Secret Lagoon. Explore the southwest, including the spectacular Geysir area, Gullfoss Waterfall, Kerið Volcano, and Þingvellir National Park.

After pickup in central Reykjavik, the day's first stop is at the Kerið Volcanic Crater. Here you can circle the crater top along a winding path and descend into the crater to reach the lake at its center.

Next, head to the Secret Lagoon where you'll have 1.5 hours to unwind in the thermal waters and admire the peaceful surroundings.

Continue to the active hot spring of Strokkur and watch it spout steaming water 30 meters every 8 minutes. Arrive at Gullfoss Waterfall and feel the spray of the glacial Hvítá River as it plummets down into a 32-meter-deep crevice.

Next, visit Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimeters every year. Þingvellir was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.

The tour was fantastic. Although there were barely any empty seats on our bus, it felt like a tour with a small group. This was probably in large part due to our wonderful guide Beggi. He really made the bus drives quite entertaining and memorable with a lot of stories and jokes. The bus drive was also quite relaxing thanks to the driving skills of the bus driver Addi. We also were quite satisfied with the amount of time spent at the different stops. Although there were no long hiking sessions, we recommend shoes which you don't mind getting dirty since the wind can make them quite dusty.

It was one of the most amazing day trips I ever did. I did it on my first day in Reykjavik and immediately fell in love with Iceland. Guide Monika and driver Michael did a wonderful job in showing us the best spots of the golden circle and giving us some nice insights in the Icelandic culture. Thank you! Absolute recommendation for everyone. (I did the tour on a sunny day in March, which gave perfect views on the frozen Gulfoss etc.)
