Itinerary

Gullfoss Waterfalls

We start our journey to Gullfoss waterfall, the second-largest waterfall in Iceland. It is only 5min. walking from the parking lot to the viewpoint of the waterfall.

In the summertime, for those who are fine with hiking, we can walk with you all the way to the side of the waterfall where you will have an opportunity to feel the vibration and the fresh breeze from the waterfall cascades.

Geysir Geothermal Area

We will reach the Haukdalur/ Geysir geothermal area next. Here we will explore some of the most geothermally active areas in Iceland. At the park, you will find the most active geyser in Iceland “Strokkur” which shoots hot water as high as 20-30 meters (65-98ft), at approximately 5-10 minutes intervals. Then we have Litli Geysir (“the small one”) which looks like a boiling pot and around 20 other dormant ones that can wake up at any time. Watch out for getting too close to it, its water temperature is about 100°C (212°F).

Þingvellir National Park

The next stop is Þingvellir National Park, where you will have a chance to see Thingvellir Lake, the second biggest in Iceland, and walk in a rift where North American and Euro-Asian tectonic plates meet.

It is also known as the site of Althing, the first parliament in the world that was established year 930 AD. That’s actually where the name of the park Þingvellir (e. Fields of the Parliament) originates from. If you are not in any rush our guide will walk with you over to the Öxarárfoss Waterfall which falls into the rift and merges with Thingvellir Lake.

The Blue Lagoon

The world-famous Blue Lagoon is located on the other side of Grindavik, we will make sure to end the day with a nice, relaxing bath in its mysterious waters. You will have the opportunity to apply a silica face mask and benefit from its healing effects while sipping on a refreshing drink from the swim-up bar. You also have the option to upgrade your Blue Lagoon experience to the Premium package, which includes the use of a bathrobe, additional face masks of your choice, and a glass of sparkling wine if dining at the Lava restaurant, or at a Retreat Luxury Spa for a complete, full 5-hour experience of this Icelandic national wonder.

When you purchase a ticket to the Blue Lagoon (available as a Tour-Add On during checkout) together with your tour with us, your visit to the lagoon will be reserved for you. You will gain the advantage of avoiding the regular line and will have extra time to spend at the Blue Lagoon as a result.
