Golden Circle & Blue Lagoon Tour with Admission
Feel free to contact us
Description
This Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon small group tour from Reykjavik combines two of Iceland’s most popular experiences in one memorable day: classic Golden Circle sightseeing and relaxing geothermal bathing at the world-famous Blue Lagoon. It is an excellent choice if you want to see Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, Kerið and the Blue Lagoon without arranging transport, tickets and timing separately.
Morning departure from Reykjavik: The day begins with pickup from selected Reykjavik locations before heading out toward the Golden Circle. Travelling in a smaller group, you get a more relaxed sightseeing experience with a professional guide, scenic views and Wi-Fi on board.
Þingvellir National Park: The first major highlight is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland’s most important historic places. This is where Iceland’s ancient parliament was founded, and it is also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly pull apart, creating a dramatic rift valley.
Geysir geothermal area: At the Geysir hot spring area, steaming vents, bubbling pools and mineral colours reveal the geothermal forces beneath Iceland. The active geyser Strokkur is the main attraction, erupting regularly and sending hot water high into the air.
Gullfoss waterfall: Gullfoss is one of the great sights of the Golden Circle. Here, glacial water from the Hvítá river rushes down in powerful stages into a rugged canyon, creating one of Iceland’s most impressive waterfall views.
Kerið volcanic crater: Kerið adds a colourful volcanic stop to the route. The crater lake is surrounded by red volcanic slopes and dark rock, with blue-green water below. It is a beautiful contrast to the waterfalls, hot springs and wide landscapes of the Golden Circle.
Blue Lagoon relaxation: After the sightseeing part of the day, the tour continues to the Blue Lagoon. Soak in the warm geothermal water, unwind in the famous milky-blue lagoon and enjoy time to relax after exploring some of Iceland’s best-known natural landmarks. Blue Lagoon admission is included, making this an easy full-day option from Reykjavik.
