Experience Iceland's most celebrated route in complete privacy – no shared buses, no strangers, just your group and a dedicated guide. This full-day private tour takes in the classic Golden Circle and extends the day with two distinctive extras: the vivid Kerið Volcanic Crater and the warmth of the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir.
The journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the historic birthplace of the world's first parliament, the Alþing, established in 930 AD. The walk through the Almannagjá gorge offers dramatic scenery and a direct connection to Iceland's deep history. From there, the route continues to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur erupts reliably every five to eight minutes, shooting columns of water up to 30 metres into the air. The sheer force of Gullfoss follows – a glacial waterfall cascading in two tiers into a 32-metre canyon carved by the Hvítá river, with viewpoints that place you close to the spray.
On the return route south, the tour visits Kerið – an oval crater with steep walls of vivid red and ochre rock framing a calm turquoise lake at its base. A short walking path around the rim takes in the full scale of the crater. The day concludes at the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir, Iceland's oldest naturally heated pool, in continuous operation since 1891. Floating in 38-40°C water with a small natural geyser bubbling nearby is a deeply satisfying way to end the day before the drive back to Reykjavík.
Your private vehicle – a sedan for groups of 1-3 or a minivan for groups of 4-8 – is yours exclusively throughout the day. The pace is yours to set, and your guide is on hand to share knowledge and answer questions in a relaxed, professional way.
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik. As you leave the city, you will enjoy views of colorful houses, the coastline, and the peaceful Icelandic landscape. This is the perfect start to a relaxing and scenic journey.
Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Here you can walk through the historic rift valley, enjoy beautiful views of lakes and lava fields, and learn about the site of Iceland’s ancient parliament. If conditions allow, you may also stop at Oxarafoss, a charming waterfall located within the park and surrounded by striking volcanic cliffs.
Next, you’ll visit the famous Geysir geothermal area, home to bubbling hot springs and steaming vents, where you can watch the Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes, explore colorful geothermal pools, and learn about Iceland’s volcanic activity.
Just a short drive away is Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls, where glacial water rushes down two dramatic stages into a deep canyon, creating unforgettable views and mist rising from the falls.
The Secret Lagoon is included as a stop in your itinerary, giving you the chance to enjoy one of Iceland’s most authentic geothermal bathing experiences. Relax in the warm natural waters surrounded by steaming landscapes and peaceful countryside. Please note that entrance tickets are not included in the base price and can be easily added during checkout.
The adventure continues to Kerid Crater, a colorful volcanic crater lake known for its striking red volcanic slopes and vivid blue water. A short walk around the rim provides excellent views of this unique geological formation.
After a full day of exploration, you will head back to Reykjavik. Sit back and relax as you enjoy the scenic drive, reflecting on the incredible landscapes and experiences of the day.
