About this activity
Iceland's most celebrated day circuit combines three iconic natural wonders—a UNESCO rift valley, erupting geysers, and a 32-metre waterfall—with a farm-to-table lunch at a working geothermal greenhouse and a soak in a hidden hot spring. This 9-hour private tour packs Iceland's geological drama and sustainable farming culture into one immersive experience.
Probably Iceland's most famous tour, the Golden Circle is the perfect mix of human and natural history. Walk through the beautiful Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the birthplace of the oldest existing parliament. Enjoy the geological features, the Rift Valley, and Öxarárfoss Waterfall that runs through it. Geysir Hot Spring area is a rare natural phenomenon where boiling water erupts 30 meters, every 5 minutes. Experience the magnificent and powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, a set of glacial river cascades falling 32 meters into a narrow canyon. Enjoy a very unique lunch experience at Friðheimar Sustainable Tomato Farm (lunch included). The Icelandic Horse is a very unique breed and we will stop to learn about them. Unwind and relax in the Old local swimming pool in Flúðir, also called the Secret Lagoon. The Golden Circle is a must see for anyone visiting Iceland.
Highlights
- ✓Thingvellir National Park: walk between tectonic plates in a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- ✓Geysir Hot Spring: witness boiling water erupt 30 metres every 5 minutes
- ✓Gullfoss Waterfall: experience a dramatic two-stage glacial cascade into a narrow gorge
- ✓Friðheimar Farm lunch: eat fresh tomatoes grown geothermally; meet Icelandic horse breed
- ✓Secret Lagoon (Flúðir): unwind in a natural hot spring pool surrounded by raw volcanic landscape
Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at Geysir to photograph eruptions in softer morning light and beat larger coach groups
- ★Wear layers and waterproof jackets—mist from Gullfoss reaches far beyond the viewing platform
- ★Bring swimwear and a towel; the Secret Lagoon is best enjoyed when you're prepared to soak immediately
- ★Ask your guide about Icelandic horse bloodlines at Friðheimar—the farm's animals have unusually pure pedigrees
