Golden Circle, Sky Lagoon & Kerid
Description
See Iceland’s classic Golden Circle, the colourful Kerid crater and the ocean-view Sky Lagoon in one relaxed small-group day from Reykjavik.
Free pickup, an English-speaking guide, included Kerid entry and a Sky Lagoon Pure Pass make this a smooth way to combine volcanic landscapes, geysers, waterfalls and a restorative geothermal finish.
Itinerary
Free Reykjavik pickup
Start the day with ease
Choose included pickup from selected Reykjavik accommodation or a designated bus stop while booking. Collection is normally between 08:30 and 09:00.
Thingvellir National Park
Walk between continents
Visit the UNESCO-listed rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, and hear how Iceland’s first parliament shaped the country’s story.
Geysir geothermal area
See Strokkur erupt
Explore steaming vents and bubbling pools in Haukadalur. Nearby Strokkur normally sends a plume of hot water skyward every few minutes, but geothermal activity is always natural and variable.
Lunch break
A planned stop to refuel
Pause at a restaurant or cafeteria along the route. Food and drinks are not included, and timing can vary with weather, daylight and the day’s route.
Gullfoss waterfall
The Golden Waterfall
Stand above a powerful two-tier waterfall fed by Langjokull glacier. The spray can create rainbows on bright days, so a waterproof layer is useful near the viewpoints.
Kerid volcanic crater
Colour, lava and a crater lake
Walk around Kerid’s vivid red volcanic slopes and blue-green lake. Entry to the crater is included in your tour.
Sky Lagoon
A geothermal spa finale
End the day with around two hours at Sky Lagoon, where the included Pure Pass combines lagoon admission, towel, public changing facilities and the seven-step Ritual with ocean views.
Return to Reykjavik
A relaxed evening return
The coach leaves Sky Lagoon at around 19:00, with an estimated city return near 19:20. Drop-off can take a little longer as guests are returned around Reykjavik.
