What To Expect
Start with morning pickup from your Reykjavik hotel or cruise port. Then, settle into a comfortable, shared coach, and admire Iceland’s volcanic interior as you travel along the Golde Circle Route.
Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park. Learn about the foundation of the world's oldest, and still functioning parliament, which happened here in 930AD. Then, view the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates that are slowly pulling apart.
Then, visit the majestic “Golden Waterfall” of Gullfoss, considered by many to be Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall, and the Strokkur geyser that spouts water high into the air every few minutes. The final stop on the Golden Circle tour is the enormous Kerid volcanic crater, for a quick walk around the edge.
Then it's time to rest your muscles at the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest swimming pool. Relax in a fairytale-like setting, made even more magical by the clouds of steam rising from the lagoon. Fed by underground hot springs, the warm waters give off steam and stay at 100-104° Fahrenheit (38-40 Celsius) all year round.
Use the changing facilities, and enjoy ample time to soak in the waters, admiring the scenery as you bathe. If you’re here in winter, you may catch a display of the Northern Lights in the skies overhead as you bathe.
After you will hop back inside a coach for the return ride to Reykjavik, where your experience ends with a drop-off at the cruise port or your central Reykjavik hotel.

Great trip day trip, I highly recommend. You see so much in a day which is great if you are staying for a short time. My fave was the secret lagoon, very relaxing. Our tour guide Dave was ABSOLUTELY the best. He was very knowledgeable and funny, great personality for a guide. Also this trip is run on a tight schedule, however you have more than enough time at each stop. You will not be disappointed.
Oh one last thing, they do stop for a quick breakfast as well as lunch. So if you are not an early riser like myself you don’t have to worry about missing breakfast to catch the bus.

This was a great tour - had a mixture of a bunch of things on the bucket list. We kept switching around which thing was our top but decided the waterfall was #1 and coming in at a close 2nd was the secret lagoon!

Elliott_T, Apr 2024
This experience is definitely worth it if you are on a short trip and want to hit all the must see spots of Iceland. It was comfortable, imformitatve, and affordable. Our tour guide was well intuned of the culture and current conditions of Iceland which was a plus being we learned a lot about the history and culture of this beautiful nation.
FleurKristine_B, Apr 2024
Organized and on schedule, I’d say it’s perfect for a solo but guided adventure. In addition to Daniel being an amazing guide, his smooth voice complements the serene views of the drive.
Daniela_C, Apr 2024

Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We saw so many wonderful parts of Iceland and totally fell in love. The Secret Lagoon was a highlight. The tour was all day but we felt relaxed and each stop was well timed. The guide was informative and good humoured. Would definitely recommend.
