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.

This was probably the highlight of my trip to Iceland! Emily was a wonderful tour guide who was so insightful and interesting to listen to. The bus was comfortable and the pace of the day was great. Emily was so passionate about the topics and really got a good attitude with the bus. I was with my dad and after he asked about her jumper she even let us do a quick stop off at a local farm that sold them. She went above and beyond for everyone on board :) The tour itself was really interesting and the pace of the day worked well. We had more than enough time at each stop and they let us know roughly how long each drive would be. We saw; the crater, the secret lagoon, the waterfall, the Geysir, and the tectonic plates (and the farm stop) all in the one day. Fabulous value for money. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again :)

Wonderful day on this golden circle tour. Both Bryndis and Tomek were amazing. Bryndis has a wonderful way of telling stories, l was laughing all the way and she was very informative. Made the world journey really enjoyable. The trip was incredible, all four places were jaw dropping, especially Gulfoss waterfall. What a magnificent sight. Enjoyed relaxing in the secret lagoon, it was lovely and warm. Highly recommended this trip and my tour guides.

We were picked up promptly and transferred to our coach for the day. Our guide Heidi greeted us and was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient throughout the day. We went to all the sights and the only issue was the extreme weather on the day, snow and hail blizzards! We were in Iceland afterall so I suppose we had an authentic experience! It didn't impact our enjoyment as it made the whole trip very memorable. The highlights were the Secret Lagoon and the Waterfall which was spectacular. Huge respect to our driver for getting us back safely in a Yellow weather warning.
