Description

Experience Iceland’s most celebrated route in complete privacy – no shared buses, no strangers, just your group and a dedicated guide. This full-day private tour takes in the classic Golden Circle and extends the day with two distinctive extras: the vivid Kerið Volcanic Crater and the warmth of the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir.

The journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the historic birthplace of the world’s first parliament, the Alþing, established in 930 AD. The walk through the Almannagjá gorge offers dramatic scenery and a direct connection to Iceland’s deep history. From there, the route continues to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur erupts reliably every five to eight minutes, shooting columns of water up to 30 metres into the air. The sheer force of Gullfoss follows – a glacial waterfall cascading in two tiers into a 32-metre canyon carved by the Hvítá river, with viewpoints that place you close to the spray.

On the return route south, the tour visits Kerið – an oval crater with steep walls of vivid red and ochre rock framing a calm turquoise lake at its base. A short walking path around the rim takes in the full scale of the crater. The day concludes at the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir, Iceland’s oldest naturally heated pool, in continuous operation since 1891. Floating in 38-40°C water with a small natural geyser bubbling nearby is a deeply satisfying way to end the day before the drive back to Reykjavík.

Your private vehicle – a sedan for groups of 1-3 or a minivan for groups of 4-8 – is yours exclusively throughout the day. The pace is yours to set, and your guide is on hand to share knowledge and answer questions in a relaxed, professional way.
