After a hearty Icelandic breakfast at your hotel, you’ll join a small group tour to explore the legendary Golden Circle — Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route — followed by relaxation at the world-renowned Blue Lagoon.

Thingvellir National Park

Your first stop is Thingvellir (Þingvellir), a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history and geology collide. This dramatic rift valley marks where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart — you can literally stand between two continents!

Thingvellir was also the birthplace of Iceland’s parliament, the Althing, founded in 930 AD. For centuries, Vikings gathered here to settle disputes and make laws. The “Law Rock” and the “drowning pool” tell tales of a rougher justice era.

Geysir & Haukadalur Geothermal Area

Next, venture into the Haukadalur geothermal valley, home to the original Geysir — the geyser that gave all others their name! While Geysir itself rarely erupts anymore, its neighbor Strokkur puts on a spectacular show every 5-10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters into the sky.

The surrounding area bubbles with hot springs, fumaroles, and colorful mineral deposits. The smell of sulfur is strong — you’ll know you’re in geothermal country!

Gullfoss — The Golden Waterfall

Gullfoss is Iceland at its most powerful and majestic. This two-tiered waterfall plunges 32 meters into a rugged canyon, sending up clouds of spray that can create rainbows on sunny days. Fed by the Hvita glacier river, Gullfoss roars with an intensity that you feel in your chest.

In winter, the surrounding rocks glisten with ice, creating an ethereal frozen wonderland. On clear days, you can even glimpse Langjokull glacier gleaming on the horizon.

Kerid Volcanic Crater

The Kerid crater is a stunning volcanic caldera formed about 3,000 years ago. Unlike most craters with dark rock, Kerid glows with vivid reds and oranges due to iron-rich volcanic deposits. At the bottom lies an striking azure lake that may be frozen in winter, creating perfect photo opportunities.

Blue Lagoon — The Ultimate Relaxation

The grand finale of your day awaits at the legendary Blue Lagoon. Nestled in a black lava field, this geothermal spa is one of Iceland’s most iconic attractions — and one of the hardest to book, often selling out months in advance. Your admission is included in this package, so you can relax knowing your spot is secured.

Soak in the milky-blue mineral-rich waters (maintained at 37-39°C/99-102°F), apply a silica mud mask, and let the day’s adventures melt away. The contrast of warm water and crisp winter air is unforgettable — and if you’re lucky, you might even spot the Northern Lights from the lagoon!

After approximately two hours of relaxation, you’ll be transported back to Reykjavik to enjoy dinner and reflect on an incredible day.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in central Reykjavik

Day three takes you along Iceland’s famous Route 1 (Ring Road), following the dramatic South Coast through farmland, past glaciers, and to some of the country’s most photogenic waterfalls and beaches.

Seljalandsfoss & Gljufrabui Waterfalls

Your first stop is Seljalandsfoss, the famous waterfall you can walk behind. This 60-meter cascade plunges gracefully from the cliffs, fed by meltwater from the infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano (yes, the one that shut down European airspace in 2010!). In winter, the trail behind may be closed due to ice, but the front view is equally stunning.

Just a short walk away, don’t miss the “secret” waterfall Gljufrabui — hidden inside a narrow cave. Step through the gap in the rocks to discover this magical cascade, often missed by other visitors.

Skogafoss Waterfall

Continuing east, you’ll encounter the mighty Skogafoss — one of Iceland’s largest and most iconic waterfalls. This 60-meter-wide, 25-meter-high wall of water is so powerful that on sunny days, it creates brilliant double rainbows. Featured in “Game of Thrones” and numerous Hollywood films, Skogafoss is simply unforgettable.

Climb the stairs beside the falls for panoramic views of the South Coast stretching to the ocean — a worthwhile workout with incredible rewards!

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Your final stop is the otherworldly Reynisfjara, consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful non-tropical beaches. Jet-black volcanic sand stretches for miles, contrasting dramatically with the crashing white Atlantic waves.

Marvel at the towering basalt column formations resembling a church organ, carved into the cliffsides. Out to sea, the jagged Reynisdrangar sea stacks rise from the waves — according to legend, they’re trolls turned to stone by the sunrise.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in central Reykjavik

On your final morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before checking out. Depending on your flight time, you may have a few hours to explore Reykjavik’s shops, museums, or grab a final Icelandic coffee.

Your private driver will pick you up from the hotel lobby and transport you directly to Keflavik International Airport (approximately 45 minutes). No rushing for shuttle buses or navigating public transport — just a comfortable, stress-free farewell to Iceland.

Thank you for choosing Iceland Highlights. We hope to welcome you back for more Icelandic adventures!
