Description

Take an unforgettable journey through the Golden Circle sights and enjoy a relaxing soak in the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa by booking this incredible excursion. Those who want to see waterfalls, national parks, and geothermal areas should book this small group tour now.

Your tour starts when your driver picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet your expert, English-speaking guide and the other people on the tour as you set off for the Golden Circle sightseeing route.

This excursion is a small group tour with a maximum of seven guests. You'll have plenty of time to ask your guide questions.

The first stop on this Christmas tour is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique geological and historical significance.

It sits on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, offering a rare chance to see the effects of continental drift above ground.

The park is also home to Iceland's first parliament, Althingi, established in 930 AD, making it an important cultural landmark.

For lunch, you will also visit a tomato farm where you can learn about how tomatoes are grown with help from the geothermal forces in the country. You'll also enjoy some tomato soup with a baguette.

The next Golden Circle sight is the Geysir geothermal area. The Geysir geothermal area is a fascinating destination showcasing the country's volcanic activity.

Located in the Haukadalur valley, it's home to hot springs, bubbling mud pots, and the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5-10 minutes, sending water up to 100 feet (30 meters) in the air.

While the original Geysir, after which all geysers are named, is less active today, the area remains a vibrant geothermal hotspot.

Visitors can explore marked trails to see steaming vents and colorful mineral deposits. The Geysir Geothermal Area offers a close-up look at the natural forces shaping Iceland's unique landscape.

You'll stop at Bru Horse Farm to meet the friendly Icelandic horses and feed them.

The last Golden Circle sight is the Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, is a mighty double cascade on the Hvita river in Southwest Iceland.

The waterfall plunges in two stages—36 feet (11 meters) and then 69 feet (21 meters) —into a rugged canyon, creating a stunning display of raw energy. Gullfoss waterfall offers well-maintained paths for visitors to admire the falls from various viewpoints.

Next, you'll visit the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa known for its mineral-rich, milky-blue waters. It's located near Reykjavik, is heated by nearby volcanic activity, and offers a relaxing soak amid a lava field.

Facilities include spa treatments, a sauna, and dining options, making it a popular spot for relaxation.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Don't miss this incredible experience exploring the Golden Circle sightseeing route and the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. Check availability now by choosing a date.
