Kerið is an iconic volcanic crater of 55 meters depth.
The Secret Lagoon is Iceland's second most famous lagoon. It derives from a hot spring which makes it a relaxing bathing spot. A friendly reminder: Since Secret Lagoon will be closed for facility upgrades from May 13th to 23rd, we will be using Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal spa instead.
The Golden Circle is a must-see if you are travelling to Reykjavik. It covers three very different and remarkable destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
Strokkur is the little brother or the famous Geysir which not active anymore. Strokkur though is still very active blowing water up into the air every 7 to 10 minutes. At this stop can you also purchase food.
Gullfoss is a waterfall of the White River Hvítá. It has two steps of 11 and 21 meters and there are pulling more 100 m3 water through it at a second.
The Thingvellir are both historically and geologically a important location. Here was the first icelandic parliament founded in the late 900s and this is also the a visible division between the eurasian and the north american continental plates.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the entire day interesting. Seeing Golfoss Falls was definitely a highlight as was sitting in the warm water of Secret Lagoon.
Halli brought us through the beauties of this land. It took so many years to come finally in Island and I couldn’t do with a better guide! 🤍
Excellent tour and guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
I liked the option to leave 10am since we had a pretty long day the day before. Our guide Ragnar was excellent, easygoing and very informative
Odysseus (Ody) the tour guide is a one of a kind, made the golden circle a special and magical experience with his kind hospitality and the wealth of knowledge he provided to the guests. The tour is great bang for the buck, especially with the secret lagoon experience. I highly recommend this the tour with this team.
Fantastic day trip — we spent a good amount of time at each stop and it never felt rushed. The Secret Lagoon was beautiful and the day passed quickly. Odyseas did a great job telling us the history and geological facts of the places we visited, and Aaron’s expert driving skills impressed us all. So glad I booked this tour!
Reykjavik weather is not really accommodating BUT, Monia, our guide, made it a truly memorable day! She provided a lot of information on iceland and about each stop on the tour. She was informative, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! All the stops on the tour were interesting and different. I absolutely recommend this tour. Monia rocks!!!
