The Best of Iceland
Combine Iceland's most popular tours in one day!
The Golden Circle
Start the day by visiting Iceland's three most famous sites in The Golden Circle tour and relax in the wonder that is the Blue Lagoon in the afternoon.
The Golden Circle tour allows you to visit Iceland’s most stunning sights, starting with the Geysir geothermal area where the Strokkur geyser shoots a column of water up to 30 meters (98 ft.) into the air every 4-8 minutes in a thrilling display of nature’s forces. The tour continues to Gullfoss waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 m (105 ft.) deep, flowing down into a wide curved three-step staircase. The Golden Circle tour also includes the historical and geological wonder that is Thingvellir National Park, listed on UNESCO's world heritage list, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimetres per year.
The Famous Blue Lagoon Iceland
After an amazing day of nature exploring, you head back to Reykjavik and from there onwards to the Blue Lagoon Spa to soak in the warm and comfortable lagoon, one of the wonders of the world.
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most famous tourist attractions and considered by many to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as well as an unmissable part of any visit to Iceland. The Blue Lagoon is surrounded by a mossy lava field, offers state-of-the-art facilities, a unique atmosphere and silica masks that make your skin extra firm, yet incredibly soft! Included in this combo is the Blue Lagoon Comfort Package where you receive entrance to the Blue Lagoon, a silica mud mask, use of a towel, and a drink of your choice.
After having enjoyed all that the Blue Lagoon has to offer, you return to Reykjavík on one of our new and comfortable coaches, with free Wi-Fi.

Insider tips
- ★Book the Blue Lagoon slot for late afternoon to avoid peak midday crowds and maximise sunset viewing from the warm water.
- ★Bring a waterproof bag for geyser zones—Strokkur's eruptions create splash zones; wear layers as geothermal areas are windy.
- ★Arrive at Gullfoss early in the Golden Circle leg to catch softer morning light for photography before larger tour groups congregate.
- ★The Blue Lagoon's silica-rich water softens skin; apply moisturiser immediately after exiting to lock in hydration in Iceland's dry climate.
Good to know
- •Duration is 10 hours total; confirm pickup/drop-off time with operator as it affects your Reykjavik schedule.
- •Bring waterproof jacket, sturdy waterproof footwear, and layers—Golden Circle sites are exposed and weather changes rapidly.
- •Blue Lagoon entry includes access to facilities, towel rental, and silica mask application; swimsuit required.
- •Geothermal areas can be slippery; wear shoes with good grip for Gullfoss and Geysir boardwalks.
- •Accessibility varies: Thingvellir has paved sections but uneven terrain; Blue Lagoon has accessible entry ramps and mobility aids—confirm specific needs with operator.
