  The Secret Lagoon

  One of the surprising things one might not know about Iceland, is its long love affair with outdoor bathing. A respite from the often cold and challenging climate, one of the most popular places to bathe in warm, geothermal waters is the Secret Lagoon in the village of Flúðir. Flúðir is situated along the Golden Circle route and is therefore the perfect addition to this famous tour. Also known as Gamla Laugin, this Lagoon dates from the late 19th century.

  After your Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour, you will be dropped back to the city for a few hours break, during which you can refresh and enjoy dinner at your leisure.

  Gullfoss waterfall

  Gullfoss Waterfall, often referred to as the Golden Falls, can stand toe to toe with any other natural wonder in Iceland.  This magnificent waterfall has its source in Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. The rivers rushes down an 11-meter (36.01 ft) descent along a gentle slope, followed by a more powerful 21-meter (68.9 ft) plunge into a canyon. This cascade produces a mesmerizing mist rises into the air, often leading magnificent rainbows when illuminated by sunlight.

  Visitors can access well-maintained paths that lead to various vantage points offering different perspectives. The initial viewpoint is the upper platform located near the visitor center, offering a comprehensive view of the waterfall’s grandeur.

  Geysir geothermal area

  We next journey to the vibrant geothermal region of Geysir. This area derives its name from the original Great Geysir, which is currently dormant. The landscape teems with steamy vents, boiling pits, and simmering ponds, interspersed with colorful mineral patches.

  The star attraction here is the active Strokkur Geyser, which erupts impressively, shooting water up to 20 meters into the air approximately every 5 to 10 minutes. This mesmerizing display is a focal point in the Geysir geothermal expanse. Moreover, the area is characterized by its effervescent hot springs and steam-filled mud fields that emit a distinct sulfuric aroma.

  Nearby, a visitor center caters to tourists with a range of souvenirs, local products, and a variety of dining options.

  5

  Thingvellir National Park

  Thingvellir National Park is a renowned destination in Iceland. Positioned on the only exposed segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which largely lies beneath the ocean, a stroll through Thingvellir means treading between the rift valley of two drifting tectonic plates.

  The park boasts a diverse selection of natural landmarks which include the crystalline waters of Öxaráfoss waterfall, the dramatic Almannagjá gorge, the Hakið panoramic viewpoint and much more.

  One of the park’s distinctive features is its crystal-clear waters, filtered naturally as meltwater from the Langjökull glacier percolates through subterranean lava fields – a filtration system unparalleled in nature.

  Northern Lights hunting tour

  A phenomenon that attracts visitors in droves to Iceland and no wonder. Nothing can prepare you for the majesty of a full power display of the Northern Lights. Our Northern Lights Bus Tour from Reykjavík takes you to where the action is. We study closely cloud coverage forecasts as well as the KP-index which measures the strength of atmospheric aurora activity. We only go on tour when we believe there is a good chance of catching the dancing green belts of the aurora.

  We venture beyond the city light pollution and usually stops in a few locations along the way. We will do everything we can to introduce you to the lights and our local and knowledgeable guides will entertain and impart knowledge and stories along the way.

  As an added bonus, you will enjoy homemade hot-chocolate to help keep the cold at bay.
