Overview

This 10-hour day trip departs from Reykjavik by bus and includes visits to several notable sites in Southwest Iceland. The first stop is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater 55 meters deep, where visitors spend about 20 minutes exploring the area. Next is a 90-minute visit to the Secret Lagoon, a natural hot spring and Iceland’s oldest swimming pool, where guests can bathe in warm thermal waters. If the visit falls between May 12 and 22, the Secret Lagoon will be closed for maintenance, and the tour will instead stop at Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal spa. After the lagoon, the tour continues along the Golden Circle route, beginning with a 60-minute stop at the Geysir geothermal area. Here, the Strokkur geyser erupts every 7 to 10 minutes, and food is available for purchase. The bus then travels to Gullfoss waterfall, a two-tiered waterfall with drops of 11 and 21 meters, where visitors spend about 40 minutes. The final stop is Thingvellir National Park, where there is a 40-minute visit to the historic site of Iceland’s first parliament and the visible boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The tour includes bus transportation, a guided tour, and all admission fees. Food, drinks, and towel rentals are not included. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum age to join is 2 years.
