The small group Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon day tour 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-equipped, premium 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. Alþingi, 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.

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

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

Unlike many other Golden Circle tours, we also include a stop at Kerið volcanic crater lake, created by where we can see the striking contrasts between maroon, black, and mossy green colors down the slope, and turquoise water filled the crater. 

Perhaps the highlight of the day is getting to enjoy the therapeutic geothermal water at the Blue Lagoon, the world renowned hot-spring spa.

A place in History

Hvammsvík is a historical landmark that was first discovered by the Vikings 1000 years ago as recorded in Landnáma, the Icelandic book of settlers dating back to the 11th century. No wonder they chose Hvammsvík given its incredible landscape, natural harbor, geothermal heat and wildlife.

Experience the supreme of Iceland on this amazing tour, where you can snowmobile on a glacier and relax in a geothermal hot lagoon. Your adventure begins with a pick-up in Reykjavik, followed by a drive to the glacier. Once there, you will take a snowmobile trip on Iceland's second-largest glacier, covering 400 square kilometers of solid ice with the highlands in the rearview mirror. During the journey, there will be a photo stop. After your snowmobiling adventure, you will be taken to the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir, a natural geothermal spring with minerals and salts that benefit your skin. The lagoon has new facilities with separate showers for men and women. Don't forget to bring your bathing suit.

On the horse riding tour by hot springs, you'll have the opportunity to take in a range of landscapes. The ride begins on well-maintained trails that take you up a hill, through a green forest (a rare sight in Iceland), and along the mountain Reykjafjall. You'll pass many hot springs in the impressive and colorful geothermal area above the village of Hveragerði, also known as the "hot spring capital of the world." This region underwent significant expansion following an earthquake in 2008 and is constantly changing. The route also goes through volcanic hills above the village, which boasts a beautiful location between the volcano Hengill and the vast plains of the southern lowlands. You'll have a nice view of the Varmá river (called the "warm river" because geothermal water flows through it) and green valleys with rising steam in the distance.

This tour provides the chance to witness spectacular sceneries and a variety of Icelandic nature. We will start our journey by riding along the Reykjafjall mountain and then through a peaceful forest to the vibrant geothermal valley with steamy hot springs, an area that expanded after an earthquake in 2008. As we head to the Hengill volcano, we can try the "tölt," a gait exclusive to the Icelandic horse. We make our way across the Djúpagilsfoss waterfall and some hot springs until we get to the Reykjadalur valley, where we can take a refreshing dip in a warm stream. The ride down the valley offers stunning views of Hveragerdi, the countryside, and the Westman Islands if the weather permits. Lastly, we head back to the farm and enjoy coffee and homemade cake. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit and towel!

The tour requires that all participants are in good physical shape and able to mount a horse on their own. We will be riding at a "tölt" speed (the speed of trot) for most of the journey. We will also need to hike for approximately 15 minutes, up to 45 minutes depending on weather conditions and trail maintenance. If the weather does not permit us to go into the mountains, we will adjust the tour accordingly. Please note that there are no changing rooms in the valley.

The tour will last 5-6 hours, with various stops and a chance to dip in the warm geothermal river. We will cover around 19 km of riding and provide a lunchbox consisting of a sandwich, cookies, and a water bottle.
