Discover why Iceland’s Golden Circle is one of the country’s most celebrated routes on this small group day tour from Reykjavik. In just one day, you’ll experience dramatic geology, powerful natural wonders, and a relaxing geothermal soak, all without feeling rushed. From erupting geysers and thundering waterfalls to walking between tectonic plates, this tour delivers Iceland’s highlights with an added touch of comfort at the Secret Lagoon.
Your journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a place of immense historical and geological importance. Founded in 930 AD as the site of Iceland’s first parliament, the park also sits directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates—one of the few places in the world where you can walk between continents.
Next, visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to Strokkur, Iceland’s most reliable geyser. Erupting every few minutes, it sends hot water high into the air, creating a spectacular and unforgettable display of natural power.
At Gullfoss waterfall, witness one of Iceland’s most iconic sights. Fed by glacial waters from the Hvítá river, the waterfall crashes into a rugged canyon below. Weather permitting, you can walk closer to feel the mist and hear the roar of this incredible natural force.
To round off the day, you’ll visit the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest natural swimming pool. Heated by nearby hot springs and surrounded by geothermal features, the warm water offers the perfect way to relax and recharge after a day of sightseeing. Soak in the open air and enjoy the peaceful countryside atmosphere.
After an unforgettable day exploring Iceland’s most famous route, you’ll return to Reykjavik with lasting memories — and perhaps inspiration for your next adventure.
