Summary
Description
Explore Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle and cap off your journey with a visit to the Sky Lagoon on this small-group tour from Reykjavik. This nine-hour adventure combines nature and relaxation in one seamless day, perfect for those wanting to experience Iceland’s landscapes and geothermal culture.
The tour begins with an easy pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik or a nearby tour bus stop. Your guide will bring you aboard a comfortable minibus equipped with free Wi-Fi.
With a small group, you can enjoy a more personal experience compared to larger bus tours. This smaller setup lets you hear your guide’s stories more clearly, ask questions along the way, and take in the sites at a more relaxed pace.
Additionally, traveling with fewer people gives quicker access to each stop and helps foster a friendly, enjoyable group dynamic.
The first leg of the tour takes you along the famous Golden Circle route. This sightseeing circuit spans approximately 190 miles (300 kilometers), featuring lush valleys, waterfalls, hot springs, and more.
Your first stop is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thingvellir is best defined by its rift valleys and gorges snaking between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The area also has a waterfall, a vast lake, and historical landmarks.
Gullfoss, or “Golden Falls,” is next, where you’ll witness the raw power of Icelandic nature as glacial water thunders down into a canyon below. Rainbows complement its two-tiered cascade on sunny days for the most breathtaking sight.
Finally, you’ll explore the Geysir geothermal area. Here, the famous Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, sending plumes of steaming water high into the air. It’s an excellent location for an up-close look at Iceland’s geothermal activity.
After the Golden Circle, your guide will bring you to the Sky Lagoon for a blissful geothermal bathing experience. This oceanside retreat offers sweeping views over the North Atlantic, where you’ll soak in a heated infinity pool surrounded by Iceland’s rugged coastal beauty.
The Sky Lagoon’s luxurious facilities include a range of hot pools, steam rooms, and cool mist showers. A highlight is the traditional Skjol Bathing Ritual, a seven-step process inspired by Icelandic bathing culture that includes a warm soak, a cold plunge, and a rejuvenating sauna experience.
For your convenience, this tour already includes an admission package to the Sky Lagoon.
As the day concludes, you’ll return to Reykjavik feeling refreshed and revitalized, having experienced both the natural wonders and the soothing geothermal treasures of Iceland.
