This small-group bus tour lasts about 11 hours and covers key natural sites along Iceland’s Golden Circle starting from Reykjavik. The route begins at Thingvellir National Park where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and learn about the volcanic activity in the area. Then the bus stops at Laugarvatn, a geothermal zone by a lake where locals bake rye bread underground using steam vents. Next is the Geysir geothermal area where you walk among bubbling pools and steam vents, watching Strokkur geyser erupt every 10 minutes, shooting water up to 30 meters high. Afterward, the tour visits Gullfoss waterfall, where the Hvíta river plunges 70 meters into a canyon. The journey continues through the small town of Reykholt, known for its greenhouses, before reaching the 3,000-year-old Kerid crater lake with colorful slopes, where you spend about 30 minutes. The drive then passes the Reykjanes Peninsula with views of lava fields, cone volcanoes, and the Atlantic Ocean. The tour includes a choice to end with a two-hour soak either at the Blue Lagoon spa (with or without admission tickets included depending on booking) or at the Hvammsvík Hot Springs located on Whale Fjord. Hvammsvík pools combine geothermal water from deep underground with seawater, creating a continuous flow of clean water through multiple pools. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavik’s capital area are included, along with admission fees, a professional guide, and free Wi-Fi on the bus. Food, drinks, gratuities, and swimming gear are not included.
