Golden Circle and Sky Lagoon

Embark on a thrilling adventure through the vast and stunning landscapes of South Iceland’s Golden Circle and Sky Lagoon. Discover the best of Iceland’s natural beauty on a single-day excursion, where you’ll witness geysers and waterfalls up close, traverse continents, and wander around a multi-colored crater. Finally, unwind in the luxurious surroundings of Sky Lagoon, and let the warm waters soothe your body and soul.

Thingvellir the National Park

The tour will start with a short drive from the city to Thingvellir National Park. In this dramatic rift valley, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart from each other along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge you can stand on two continents simultaneously. Thingvellir was also Iceland’s first parliament. For hundreds of years, the Vikings of Iceland came here each summer for festivals and settled their disputes. The “Law Rock” and the “drowning pool” saw rough justice delivered for thieves and murderers.

Geysir & Haukadalur Geothermal Area

As we head deeper into the highland of Iceland, the next stop is Geysir, the most impressive sight in the Haukadalur “hot spring” area. Geysir is the Icelandic for “gush” and gave its name to all spouting hot springs. The actual Geysir doesn’t erupt very much now. But there is another gusher called Strokkur just a few meters away, which sends boiling fountains of water high into the sky every few minutes. Make sure where you stand while you wait to see the show, or you might get a soaking. Tips, don’t stand in the direction of the wind. One of the special things is the strong smell of sulfur, which you will probably feel from a far distance.

Gullfoss – The Golden Waterfall

Gullfoss waterfall is beyond a doubt one of the most stunning and majestic sights in Iceland. It won‘t show you the soft and gentle side of Iceland, this is the really wild and rugged side of Icelandic nature. In clear visibility, you will even get a glimpse of Langjökull glacier, its white brilliance meeting the sky high on the horizon. Listening to the thunder of wild water and feeling the airborne droplets of moisture in the air, you will know you are in the presence of a great waterfall the moment you leave the car park. Photogenic, glorious, turbulent, and mesmeric in any season of the year, Gullfoss is all of these and far more. For me, these falls are at their loveliest when the giant boulders they drop over are cloaked in a patina of shimmering ice, but always take care in slippery conditions. There can be ice within the waterfall but it never freezes. It is also very special in the bright Arctic summer light.

Kerid Volcanic Crater

After the Gullfoss stop, your will be moving on to the multi-colored crater at Kerid crater. Only a few thousand years old, the volcanic rocks are still rich in iron deposits, turning the caldera a vivid crimson color. There’s also an azure lake and blankets of soft green mosses too. That makes Kerid one of the brightest spots you’ll see anywhere in the country.

Sky Lagoon experience with premium admission included

On the way back to the city, there is one more extraordinary experience awaiting us ahead, the locals love to bathe in geothermal hotpots, and now you can do the same at the Sky Lagoon. This is a brand-new spa, located just outside Reykjavik, and features an immense 250-foot-long heated infinity pool, a swim-up bar, and oceanfront views. You’ll enjoy two heavenly hours lapping up the luxury here at Sky Lagoon. This might be the perfect way to end your Golden Circle experience.  During the booking process, you can select one of the two types of admission: Pure and Sky. Nowhere else can you see so many natural marvels in one day? Rich in fascinating history and magnificent sights, this tour is your chance to experience Iceland at its best.
