Overview

This isn’t just another Golden Circle tour — we’ve added our own local twist. In one unforgettable day, you’ll see Iceland’s most iconic sights like Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss, soak in the Secret Lagoon, visit a geothermal tomato farm, and step inside a historic turf cave home to taste Icelandic specialties like fermented shark and brennivín. We keep group sizes small, our guides are hand-picked for personality and knowledge, and the day flows at just the right pace. It’s personal, flavorful, and full of stories you’ll take home.

  • Snacks Admission to the Cave People experience and traditional food tasting included
  • Admission to the Secret Lagoon
  • Lunch Lunch (meals and drinks at Friðheimar are not included).

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Pick up starts at the booked time and can take up to 30 minutes. Please be ready at the departure time at your pick up location. Due to traffic restrictions in downtown Reykjavik, direct pick up from some hotels may not be possible. We will confirm your pick up location by email before the tour.

What To Expect

Thingvellir National Park

Our first stop is at Þingvellir, the place of the first Icelandic parliament. The first parliament was established there in 930 AD and it is, therefore, the oldest one in Europe. Besides all the history you can also see the Mid-Atlantic ridge. This is the split of the tectonic plates that divides Europe from North America.

Geysir

This "water puddle" gives its name to all the other Geysers in the world. "Strokkur", the little brother of Geysir, is still active today and he erupts every 5-8min and it is truly a big spectacle.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Last but not least is Gullfoss, the golden waterfall. In the summertime, up to 130.000 l/s are running down this powerful waterfall. In good weather conditions, we are also able to see Langjökull glacier as well.

Caves Of Laugarvatn (the Cave People)

Step into a real turf cave home carved into the hills of Laugarvatnshellar and experience how Icelanders lived in the early 20th century. Inside, enjoy a unique tasting of traditional Icelandic foods including fermented shark, rye flatbread (flatkökur), and brennivín — Iceland’s signature schnapps. It’s an authentic cultural stop that adds flavor and storytelling to your day.

Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin

The day isn't over yet. There is no better way to end a great day with a relaxing swim in geothermal water. Your guide will drive you to a thermal pool called "Gamla Laugin" (The Secret Lagoon). It was formed in 1891 and is still a popular place for all the locals in the area. It is therefore the oldest swimming pool in the country with a constant temperature of 38/40 °C, thanks to the hot waters from surrounding geothermal activity.

Fridheimar

Iceland is well known for its geothermal energy. We don't only use it to heat our houses, we also use it to grow vegetables in greenhouses. Friðheimar Tomato Farm is probably the best place to experience it. We will take a short tour through the greenhouse and taste their delicious tomato soup.
