If you’re visiting Iceland for the first time, the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon are absolute must-sees. This iconic route is one of Iceland’s most popular day tours, covering a distance of just 250 km (155 miles), making it a perfect fit for any itinerary.
When I designed this tour, my goal was to introduce you the most symbolic wonders of Icelandic nature. Throughout the day, we’ll explore a variety of unique locations that capture the essence of Iceland’s natural beauty.
You’ll have the chance to walk around the crater of an extinct volcano and witness the eruption of geysers up close. There’s also time to unwind and soak in Iceland’s oldest thermal pool, the Secret Lagoon.
The tour includes a visit to the stunning Gullfoss waterfall and a unique dining experience at Friðheimar, a geothermal greenhouse where you’ll enjoy lunch among thriving tomato plants. This tour also offers a glimpse into Iceland’s history at Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of Icelandic democracy.
Every stop on this tour has been carefully selected to create the Ultimate Golden Circle experience.
I do my best to make my trips as comfortable as possible. That’s why I provide complimentary hot chocolate to keep as WARM 🙂 Additionally, I offer crystal clear Icelandic Glacial water in my car at no extra charge. Your comfort and safety is my priority! So you can also take advantage of Rain Gear and Crampons.
Please. Remember to take hiking boots, a rain jacket, rain pants, and WARM layers underneath the jacket and waterproof gloves.
You might be lucky with the lovely weather, but you should also consider the windy and rainy/snowy options.
Before our expedition, I will pick you up directly from your accommodation or place of your choice.
Kerið is a crater of an extinct volcano in Grímsnes Valley in South Iceland and is about 3000 years old, which makes him half the age of most volcanic calderas in Iceland.
Kerið is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (558 ft) wide, and 270 m (886 ft) in circumference. We will take a hiking path around the crater’s edge and descend to the shore of the aquamarine waters of the crater lake.
Secret Lagoon natural hot springs are located in the geothermal area near the small village of Fludir. Founded in 1891, it is the oldest thermal pool in Iceland.
The place kept its natural and unique form with brand new facilities next to the pool with a locker room and showers for women and men. The pool’s natural surroundings and steam rising into the air create a magical feeling. The warm water stays at 38-40 Celsius all year. In the whole area, there are several geothermal spots with small geyser in the corner of the pool erupting every couple of minutes. It’s a perfect place for relaxing soaking on our Golden Circle expedition.
Friðheimar is a perfect example of Icelandic farming. It’s a family-run geothermal farm where vegetables grow year-round in perfect harmony with nature.
In the year 2010, the farm owners came up with a brilliant idea to open a restaurant in the Piccolo- tomato greenhouse. All dishes served in the restaurant are based on vegetables and herbs grown in Friðheimar.
Dining inside the greenhouse among tomato plants growing around is a unique food experience you will never forget.
I’m a huge fan of this place. Visiting Friðheimar in cold, snowy, wintery weather is like entering the Narnia through the wardrobe.
Gullfoss is one of the most iconic waterfalls of Iceland. Because of his cascades, Gullfoss could be split into two separate waterfalls. The first drop is 11 m (36 ft), while the second is 21 m (69 ft) high. The Hvita River supplies the waterfall and falls into the over 70 m (230 ft) high Gullfossgjúfur Canyon. It is a mighty waterfall in which the water flow depends on the time of the year. In the summer, around 140 cubic meters (459 cubic feet) of waterfalls down the waterfall every second, while in winter, flow drops to about 109 cubic meters (358 cubic feet) per second.
The geysers’ valley is home to one of Iceland’s most iconic symbols, the Great Geysir, and his little brother Strokkur. Even though Great Geysir is sleeping and rarely erupts these days, geyser Strokkur is still very active and erupts up to 30 m (98 ft) high every five to ten minutes. It’s a unique phenomenon in this part of the world that makes admiring it a lifetime experience.
Þingvellir is the birthplace of Icelandic democracy and, for every Icelander place of historical, cultural, and geological significance. Located on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it an excellent place to witness the effects of continental drift.
On the 1000th anniversary of the Alþingi changed its status to become a National park. Since 2004 has its place on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
Straight from there, we will go to your hotel or place of your choice in the Reykjavik area.
