9-Hour Golden Circle Tour with Fontana Spa Bathing & Transfer from Reykjavik

Come along for a tour of Iceland's finest sites and a luxurious soak in the warm waters of Laugarvatn Fontana Spa & Wellness Center. Traverse the famous Golden Circle, which includes three of the most well-known sites in Icelandic history and culture: Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area, and Thingvellir National Park.

Gullfoss is one of the most powerful waterfalls in Europe, where huge quantities of water rush over the two-tiered falls and down into the gorge below. The Geysir geothermal area is another natural wonder, full of bubbling mud pots, steaming vents, and geysers that explode regularly, flinging scalding water high into the air. The most active, Strokkur, erupts every 10 minutes, sending water as high as 131 feet (40 meters).

Last is Thingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the world's first parliament was founded in 930 AD. The Vikings who came here to participate in the politics of the day looked out on these same rifts, walked the gorge between the two tectonic plates, and gazed at the silvery waters of the nearby rivers and fissures that reach deep in the earth.

You will then head to the village of Laugarvatn, where you will see how Icelanders use the geothermal energy just under the ground to cook rye bread. After learning about this process, you will get to taste some.

After a thorough tour of the Golden Circle, you'll relax in the natural geothermal baths at Laugarvatn Fontana Spa & Wellness Center. After exploring so much of the South Coast, Laugarvatn Fontana Spa is the perfect way to relax and revitalize both body and mind.

For almost a century, locals in the community of Laugarvatn have been enjoying the healing powers of natural steam from a geothermal field at the edge of the lake. Built over this geothermal area, the Laugarvatn Fontana Spa & Wellness Center features geothermal steam rooms, hot pools, outdoor mineral baths, and a fantastic view over the lake.

If you are there in the evening and the conditions are just right, you may be able to enjoy the Technicolor dreamscape of the Northern Lights as you relax.

At Laugarvatn Fontana Spa & Wellness Center, you will also find Fontana Cafe, which offers a nice selection of healthy and locally produced delicacies and refreshments. The menu also includes soup of the day and trout from the lake, which is a great idea for those who just want to enjoy the facilities without going to the baths.

Don't miss out on these essential Icelandic locations, topped off by pure relaxation in a geothermal spa. Check availability by choosing a date.
