Mesmerizing 9.5-Hour Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Tour from Reykjavik

Discover the wonders of Iceland's most famous scenic route before heading into one of the country's celebrated geothermal spas on this unbeatable Golden Circle and Sky Lagoon tour from Reykjavik. This 9.5-hour excursion is perfect for travelers looking to experience some of Iceland's most iconic natural attractions and more.

The adventure begins in the morning when a bus picks you up from your Reykjavik hotel or a designated bus stop. A friendly and experienced guide will accompany you and other travelers throughout the tour.

From Reykjavik, you'll head to your first stop, the Geysir geothermal area. It's located in the Haukadalur valley and is home to the Great Geysir and the Strokkur geyser.

What sets the Great Geysir apart is its historical significance. It lent its name to all geysers worldwide. Though the Great Geysir's eruptions are infrequent, the Strokkur geyser is known for its remarkable reliability. Strokkur has become a must-see attraction for travelers exploring the country's spectacular natural beauty.

Strokkur erupts approximately every 5 to 10 minutes. Each eruption sends a mighty column of boiling water and steam soaring into the air, reaching impressive heights of up to 98 feet (30 meters).

Next, the guide will take you to the majestic Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls. Often called the "Golden Falls," Gullfoss symbolizes the country's rugged beauty. It's a breathtaking two-tiered waterfall that cascades down a series of dramatic steps, ultimately plummeting into a narrow gorge.

As you get near the Gullfoss waterfall, experience the combination of the deafening roar, the far-reaching spray, and the vibrant rainbows that often appear on sunny days, creating a mesmerizing and unforgettable spectacle.

Your next destination is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Thingvellir National Park, a unique geological area. The park is situated in a rift valley formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, creating a striking landscape of rocky cliffs, deep fissures, and stunning vistas.

Interestingly, the Almannagja gorge, one of the park's most prominent features, showcases the visible boundary between the two tectonic plates, allowing you to walk between continents.

Apart from its fantastic features, the Thingvellir National Park is renowned for its historical importance. In 930 AD, Iceland's first national parliament, the Althing, was established here, making it one of the world's oldest democracies.

For your final stop, you'll head to the Sky Lagoon spa on the Kopavogur Peninsula, where you can relax in a geothermal spa. The Sky Lagoon is one of the newest geothermal spas in Iceland, and it has been open since 2021.

Your tour includes the Sky Lagoon's Saman entrance package, allowing you to experience the Sky Lagoon's unique Skjol Bathing Ritual. Enjoy a wellness journey that consists of a series of relaxing and revitalizing experiences, such as a sauna, cold plunge, and relaxation in the lagoon.

As you enjoy your warm and refreshing geothermal bath, appreciate the magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean. After bathing, you can head to the Sky Cafe or the Icelandic Smakk Bar within the facility for snacks and refreshments.

After rejuvenating at the Sky Lagoon, you'll ride the bus back to Reykjavik. Look out the window during the trip and enjoy Iceland's landscapes and incredible views.
