Description

Maximize your time in Iceland with this comprehensive 15-hour tour from Reykjavik. The experience combines the iconic Golden Circle, a relaxing dip in the Blue Lagoon, and an unforgettable evening of northern lights hunting in one incredible day.

Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. From there, you’ll embark on a scenic drive through Iceland’s stunning landscapes, setting the stage for a day filled with exploration and awe-inspiring sights. 

The tour is designed for small groups, ensuring a more personalized experience. You’ll travel in a comfortable minibus, making it easy to navigate Iceland’s rugged terrain while enjoying the insights of your knowledgeable guide.

The first part of your adventure takes you along the famous Golden Circle, a route that showcases some of Iceland’s most significant natural and historical landmarks. 

Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that holds deep historical and geological importance. Here, you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and explore the site where Iceland’s first parliament was established over a thousand years ago.

Next, you’ll visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and the famous Strokkur geyser. Strokkur erupts with boiling water every 5 to 10 minutes to heights averaging 66 feet (20 meters).

The tour continues to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Gullfoss, which means “Golden Falls,” is a two-tiered waterfall that plunges into a deep canyon, creating a breathtaking display of natural power and beauty. 

Before leaving the Golden Circle, you’ll also visit the Kerid crater, a striking volcanic crater lake known for its deep red slopes and blue-green water.

The second part of the tour takes you to the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most famous attractions. Located in a lava field, this geothermal spa is renowned for its milky-blue waters rich in silica and minerals. 

Your comfort admission ticket is included, allowing you to relax and soak in the warm waters while taking in the unique landscape surrounding you. The spa also has excellent facilities, including saunas, steam rooms, in-water bars, restaurants, and more.

As the evening approaches, your guide will take you on a northern lights hunting excursion. Departing from Reykjavik, you’ll head into the countryside, away from the city lights, to increase your chances of witnessing this natural phenomenon. 

The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a spectacular display of dancing lights in the night sky, and seeing it in person is an experience like no other. Your guide will choose the best locations based on weather conditions and aurora forecasts, ensuring you have the best opportunity to witness this magical event.
