Golden Horizons: Private Golden Circle with Sky Lagoon Tour (Entrance Exl)

This private full-day tour combines Iceland’s classic Golden Circle highlights with a relaxing visit to the Secret Lagoon — one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. Designed for travelers who prefer a calm pace and fewer crowds, the experience offers both exploration and quiet relaxation in a single day.

Departing from Reykjavík, the journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s history and geology meet along the Mid-Atlantic Rift. You’ll continue to the geothermal area of Geysir, where Strokkur erupts regularly, followed by the powerful Gullfoss, cascading into a rugged canyon.

Later in the day, you’ll visit the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir. Surrounded by natural steam vents and bubbling hot springs, this historic pool offers a simple, authentic geothermal bathing experience. Admission is included, allowing you to unwind in warm, mineral-rich water in a peaceful rural setting.

The tour also includes a stop at Kerið Crater, known for its vivid red slopes and turquoise crater lake.

Traveling in a private vehicle with a professional driver-guide, you can adjust timing, linger longer at preferred stops, and enjoy a smooth, personal experience throughout the day. Lasting approximately 8–10 hours, this tour is ideal for travelers seeking Iceland’s most famous sights paired with a quiet, traditional lagoon experience.
