About this activity

Combine Iceland's most iconic natural wonders—dramatic waterfalls, erupting geysers, and tectonic landscapes—in a single 11-hour small group tour, culminating in a soak in the geothermal Blue Lagoon. This curated itinerary hits all the must-see Golden Circle sites while adding the volcanic crater lake of Kerið for a fuller picture of Iceland's geological drama.

This day is a combination of Iceland's most famous sites, conveniently paired to allow you to experience more. See unique natural formations, such as geysers, waterfalls, lakes, lava fields, craters and more topped with an ultimate bathing experience in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon at the end of the day. 

Visit Thingvellir National Park, a historic landmark and the place where the Icelandic Commonwealth was founded. Take a chance to visit the best place on earth to view the North Atlantic Divergent Ridge. See eruptions of up to 20-meter high at Geysir geothermal area, made by Strokkur, which erupts every three to four minutes. Pass by the dormant Geysir and make a stop for lunch.
Next view Gullfoss waterfall, considered the most beautiful of Iceland’s 30,000 waterfalls. Then, travel to Kerið volcanic crater, a striking crater lake filled with bright blue-green water and surrounded by stark black and deep-red slopes.
End the day at the Blue Lagoon, where you'll enjoy bathing in the relaxing geothermal waters before heading back to Reykjavík. Please note that you must purchase your Blue Lagoon tickets in advance as tickets are not included in this tour. You should book tickets for the 17.00 or 5pm timeslot.

Insider tips

  • Book your Blue Lagoon entry slot (17:00/5pm recommended) well in advance separately—tickets are not included and slots fill quickly in peak season
  • Bring swimwear, towel, and waterproof bag; the Golden Circle sites are exposed to wind and weather, so dress in layers even in summer
  • Arrive early at Strokkur for fewer crowds in photos; mid-morning tours often catch fewer visitors than afternoon slots

Good to know

  • Duration is 11 hours total; allow time for lunch stop (typically 30–45 minutes) at Geysir area
  • Blue Lagoon tickets must be purchased separately in advance; entry is not included in tour price
  • Small group format means limited capacity; confirm pickup location in Reykjavík when booking
  • Geothermal pools at Blue Lagoon reach ~38°C (100°F); not recommended during late pregnancy or for those with certain medical conditions

Best time to visit
