Highlights
- Thingvellir National Park - Head to Thingvellir National Park, where you learn about how it lies within a volcanically active area. It’s also home to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Straddle two continents while you walk between the plates.
- Laugarvatn - Laugarvatn sits next to a beautiful lake of the same name in a geothermally active area. The plumes of super-heated vapor billowing into the air in this area are used by the locals to bake rye bread in the ground!
- Geysir - Next, visit the surreal Geysir geothermal area on foot, stopping at bubbling ponds, steam vents, and Geysir and Strokkur geysers. Stick around long enough to watch the Strokkur geyser erupt (around every 10 minutes), spurting a column of water up to 98 foot (30 meters) in the air
- Gullfoss Waterfall - The next destination is Gullfoss – the Golden Waterfall, where the waters of the mighty Hvíta (white) river are swept into a 70 meters deep canyon.
- Reykholt - Small town with lots of Greenhouses
- Kerid Crater - After enjoyable hike around falls hop back on the bus for the journey to the lake-filled, 3,000-year-old Kerid crater. Stop to marvel at its magical-looking lake and colorful slopes.
- Reykjanes Peninsula - A drive through Reykjanes Peninsula admiring vast lava fields, cone volcanoes and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean before we arrive in the Blue Lagoon.
-
Hvammsvik Hot Springs - (OPTIONAL)
If you select to end your day at Hvammsvík Baths, the bus will head towards stunning Whale Fjord where the SPA is located. There, you can immerse yourself in the perfect combination of geothermal water from 1400 meters below the surface and seawater from the nearby Atlantic Ocean. This extraordinary blend of water forms a continuous flow that cascades between pools, spills over their edges, and returns to the ocean, guaranteeing exceptional water quality and purity. -
Sky Lagoon - (OPTIONAL)
The Sky Lagoon is Iceland’s newest spa experience. We’ll bring you here for two luxurious hours, and you’ll enjoy yourself wallowing in an enormous infinity pool with unobstructed ocean views. There’s a swim-up bar hidden in a cave, and a warm waterfall to enjoy! -
Blue Lagoon - (OPTIONAL)
Up to visit an iconic Blue Lagoon Lava Fields & SPA? You can choose to head inside the SPA (select a proper option during booking process) to enjoy a soak in the steamy waters while admiring surrounding lava fields, or (if you do not wish to swim there) take a walk around lava fields and visit the skin care products store or restaurant.

Awesome time! - Excellent tour and stops. The guide was fun and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour since it has everything you want. It is a long day, but every stop is amazing and there's plenty of time at each stop and plenty of options for food and bathroom breaks. Pick up/drop off and communication was easy!

Highly Recommend! - Had a great time on the tour! The big bonus for me was a small bus and a pickup from the hotel at no additional cost plus WiFi onboard. The nature is breathtaking! It’s a very packed day, so it was great to relax afterwards in the hot pool with a glass of champagne ;)
