DT 321 Private Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon
Private tour of the Golden Circle and the Secret Lagoon
Our first stop takes us to Thingvellir National Park where the Icelandic parliament was founded over 1000 years ago. At Thingvellir, you will see how the earth is ever so slowly pulling apart along the North-America and Eurasian tectonic plates and you will be able to stand where the Viking settlers stood centuries ago to edict national laws.
Next, you will visit the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur where you can see geysers, hot springs, steam vents and eerie blue algae. Strokkur is one of the largest and most powerful geysers and erupts almost every 5 minutes.
The final stop of the Golden Circle takes you to Gullfoss waterfall, which many consider to be the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, as it is both high and mighty and stumbles dramatically in a deep gorge. We then have a lunch break at Gullfoss Café, before trying out our Superjeep vehicles off-road: the ride will take you to the highlands, rough terrain and glacier area of Langjökull (Icelandic for "long glacier"), known to be the second largest ice cap in Iceland (953 km2). You will enjoy the landscape from your Superjeep while occasionally stopping at incredible sights.
After an off-road ride, we visit Faxi, a small but beautiful waterfall, and Secret Lagoon, which is a natural hot spring located in the small village of Flúðir. It is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland made in 1891. and its water holds at 38-40 Celsius (100-104 Fahrenheit) all year. It has magical surroundings with a small geyser erupting on the side.
We reserve the right to reverse the circle to escape the crowds.
