Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Tour

First, we pick you up at your hotel around 10 o´clock. Then we drive to the monumental Þingvellir, which is our national treasure – our national park where the first Alþingi in the world was hosted. That was a general assembly where many of major events in our history took place in the years 930-1798. Þingvellir is on the World Heritage list for its cultural values.

Next stop is Gullfoss, the magnificent waterfall, and Geysir – the hot spring.

A wealth of things can be noticed at the geothermal area by Geysir in Haukadalur but there the hot spring spouts water several times each hour in a piping hot water column that goes high up in the air, well applauded by those present. The geothermal area is one of the most renowned in the world and has been for centuries. Gullfoss is one of the most majestic waterfalls of Iceland, situated a stone’s throw from Geysir. The waterfall was reserved in 1979 to protect the canyons and the nature surrounding it. The Gullfoss Canyon is around 2,5km long, ranging about 70 meters in height. It is considered that the canyon was mostly formed through grand glacial floods at the end of the Ice Age. Gullfoss is actually two separate waterfalls, the upper waterfall is 11 meters high and the lower 20 meters high. The strata where the waterfall meets the edge have all been formed in the warmer period of the Ice Age. The quantity of water running through Gullfoss is an average of 109 cubic meters per second.

After this glorious day, we will stop at the Secret Lagoon where you can soak and relax in 36-40°C/97-104°F warm water. It is one of the oldest natural geothermal swimming pools in the country and it is a unique experience! You can take a look at other hot springs on the way, they even have a „little Geyser” which erupts every few minutes.

You just have to bring a bathing suit, everything else is included in the price! We stop for lunch during the day, but it is excluded from the price.
