Over the years in the tourism industry, I noticed that many of my quests struggle with limited time to explore Iceland. People often have to make a tough decision: “Which tour to choose?” That gave me the idea to combine the most iconic attractions of “The Golden Circle” with a relaxing visit surrounded by volcanic rocks and geothermal pools of the Blue Lagoon, known for their healing and cosmetic properties. If you value privacy and a more luxurious experience, you can also visit the Retreat Spa at the Blue Lagoon. Believe me when I tell you that this place is designed to bring you ultimate joy and take you to the next level of relaxation.
It will be a full day, but I can promise we will make many good memories together, and visiting the Blue Lagoon will be like a cherry on top of this day!
If your time in Iceland is very limited, this tour is perfect for you!
Itinerary
PICK-UP
Before our expedition, I will pick you up directly from your accommodation or place of your choice.
ÞINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK
Þingvellir is the birthplace of Icelandic democracy and, for every Icelander place of historical, cultural, and geological significance. Located on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it an excellent place to witness the effects of continental drift.
On the 1000th anniversary of the Alþingi changed its status to become a National park. Since 2004 has its place on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
GEYSERS VALLEY
The geysers’ valley is home to one of Iceland’s most iconic symbols, the Great Geysir, and his little brother Strokkur. Even though Great Geysir is sleeping and rarely erupts these days, geyser Strokkur is still very active and erupts up to 30 m (98 ft) high every five to ten minutes. It’s a unique phenomenon in this part of the world that makes admiring it a lifetime experience.
GULLFOSS WATERFALL
Gullfoss it’s one of the most iconic waterfalls of Iceland.
Because of his cascades, Gullfoss could be split into two separate waterfalls. The first drop is 11 m (36 ft), while the second is 21 m (69 ft) high. The waterfall is supplied by the Hvita river and falls into the over 70 m (230 ft) high Gullfossgjúfur Canyon.
It is a mighty waterfall in which the flow of water depends on the time of the year.
In the summer, around 140 cubic meters (459 cubic feet) of waterfalls down the waterfall every second, while in winter, flow drops to about 109 cubic meters (358 cubic feet) per second.
THE BLUE LAGOON
Depending on the selected option, we will visit surrounded by volcanic rocks, the geothermal pools of the Blue Lagoon, or the Retreat Spa at the Blue Lagoon.

After you relax in the Spa, we will go to your hotel or place of your choice.

What my guests
Jennifer February, 20022
This was the best tour. You can and should absolutely believe all of Mike’s 5-star reviews. He is knowledgeable, organized, funny, thoughtful and keeps to a clean and clear schedule. He made our trip to Iceland the best ever and I will recommend to any friend or family traveling to Iceland that if they do nothing else, they should book tours with Mike. We did 3 tours and he provided airport pickup and drop off. Everything that he offers is totally professional and personable. He is the single best tour guide I have ever worked with. Book right now. You will not be disappointed!
