TOUR DETAILS

Small-Group Golden Circle And Blue Lagoon Tour Iceland – Ticket

The small group Group Golden Circle And Blue Lagoon Tour Iceland is the ultimate treat, as it covers the most iconic attractions in Iceland, with an admission ticket to the world-famous geothermal spa, the Blue Lagoon. Hop on our fully-equippedpremium minibus, led by one of our experienced driver guides, we are going on an exciting day trip to see the most beautiful scenery Iceland has to offer, starting with the major highlights on the Golden Circle Route.

Iceland is special because of places like Thingvellir National Park, a historic and geological location that is also a UNESCO world heritage site. Alþing, the first parliament in the world was established here in 930 AD. One of the most unique experiences Thingvellir has to offer is the opportunity to see and walk between two continents.

Next up is the Geysir Geothermal Area, as geothermal powers are especially active in this region propelling steamy hot springs up to the sky. Enjoy

Then we will stop by the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, a unique, beautiful fall that attracts admirers from all over the world.

Then we will head to the Kerið volcanic crater lake, where we can see the striking contrasts between maroon, black, and mossy green colors down the slope, and turquoise water filled the crater. This marks our Golden Circle tour complete as it covers all major, popular attractions.

The last highlight of the day is getting to enjoy the therapeutic geothermal water at the Blue Lagoon before heading back to Reykjavik.

Highlights:

  • Þingvellir National Park
  • Geysir geothermal area
  • Gullfoss waterfall
  • Kerið volcanic crater (entrance fee included)

Itinerary

The guided tour starts with our fast and efficient pick-up service, where we will come to pick you up from either one of the hotels in the center of Reykjavik or one of the designated pick-up stops across the city. With everyone onboard our comfortable minibus we will then depart from the capital, and begin our exciting road trip with an experienced, knowledgeable driver tour guide.

Thingvellir National Park

About 45 minutes drive from Reykjavik you will find Thingvellir National Park, a location that holds both geological and cultural significance, which became a UNESCO heritage site in 2004.

Thingvellir is home to the exposed section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the divergent rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which means you will be standing in between two continents, right here, in Iceland. The Öxarárfoss waterfall cuts through the ridge with a beautiful drop from 13 meters (42.65 ft) high up, which you will visit as you walk down the path.

The world’s first parliament was established in Iceland, right here in Thingvellir, in 930 A.D. While you are at the viewpoint of Hakið, enjoy the breathtaking, panoramic view of the entire area. The Þingvellir Church was consecrated in 1859, with a simple, elegant appearance, which adds a historic, cultural atmosphere to the natural landscapes. The Almannagjá fissure is close by, with clear glacial water running deep inside the lava walls. The water originated from Iceland’s second-largest glacier, Langjökull, which has passed through the porous lava fields beneath.

Your driver guide will pick you up further along the Rift Valley.

Geysir Geothermal Area

An active geothermal region, the Geysir area is an hour drive away with many features to see. Steam vents, bubbling pits, warm ponds, with varied colors, and the greatest highlight of the area, the Strokkur geyser erupting every 5-10 minutes up to 20 meters (65.62 ft) high in the sky, a natural spectacle indeed. And the Great Geysir is a quiet, blue depth of water nearby. A visitor center is right next to the area with shops and several lunch options.

Safety is important, so a reminder to visitors to only walk along the path,  as the steamy pits and sizzling water is boiling at extremely high temperatures underneath your feet.

Gullfoss Waterfall

The next highlight of the Golden Circle Route Iceland is the astonishing Gullfoss Waterfall, also known as the “Golden Waterfalls,” a magnificent, wide drop that first runs down 11 meters (36 ft), then 21 meters (68 ft), roaring to the depth of the canyon, with cliffs rising to 70 meters (230 ft). You will feel its forceful presence when you approach the waterfall and admire the stunning visuals and intriguing history. Gullfoss’s river is fed by the Hvítá river, or white river, originating from the Langjökull glacier.

Kerið Volcanic Crater Lake

The remarkable crater lake, Kerið, is yet another popular attraction on Iceland’s Golden Circle Route, famous for its greenish lake water and colorful crater appearances on the slopes. Kerid crater was formed around 3000 years ago during a volcanic eruption during which the volcanic chamber collapsed onto itself after the burning magma was depleted. Its shape is a perfect inverted cone, and a pathway was built for visitors to see the site. A bonus fun fact is that the Kerid crater has been a popular concert venue for many years!
