The Secret Lagoon is Iceland's second most famous lagoon. It derives from a hot spring which makes it a relaxing bathing spot. A friendly reminder: Since Secret Lagoon will be closed for facility upgrades from May 13th to 23rd, we will be using Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal spa instead.
The Golden Circle is a must-see if you are travelling to Reykjavik. It covers three very different and remarkable destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.

Monia was the best tour guide! I loved learning about Iceland's history. Great information.
A fantastic way to experience some of Iceland’s highlights in one day. The Golden Circle was spectacular, with breathtaking views at Þingvellir, the powerful Gullfoss waterfall and the impressive Strokkur geyser. Kerid Crater was another beautiful stop and a great contrast to the other landscapes. The highlight for me was definitely the Secret Lagoon. After a full day of sightseeing, relaxing in the warm geothermal water was the perfect way to slow down and take it all in. The whole day was well organised, with a good balance between sightseeing and time to enjoy each stop. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about Iceland, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A long day, but absolutely worth it — a great combination of incredible scenery, Icelandic nature and a little relaxation at the end. I’d definitely recommend this tour.
Great tour guide, amazing scenery and plenty of time at each stop along the way. We especially enjoyed the Secret Lagoon and the fact we had two hours there to enjoy the visit.
First time visiting ICELAND; Landscape is BEAUTIFUL; Guide was great and humorous; will definitely return to explore more!
Long day quite a bit of walking at most sites but well worth it. Our guide was excellent. Pickup and drop off went well
All the stops were fascinating. Visiting such wonders of Iceland was very special.
Our tour guide was exceptional - in detailing the history of the areas we were visiting, as well as relating all back to the history of Iceland in general.
Excellent experience. Pick up time was good. The bus driver and guide were excellent. The tour was informative and fun.
Excellent tour! Andrea is so knowledgeable and marks every moment with little stories, fun facts, jokes and so on... The stops were well timed. Andrea and the driver made us feel safe and well taken cared of.
