Itinerary and highlights
Step into Iceland’s dramatic landscapes at Þingvellir National Park, where you can walk between two continents along the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is rich with history, once home to the world’s oldest parliament, and surrounded by stunning views of lava fields, crystal-clear springs, and towering cliffs. Along the way, you’ll take in some of Iceland’s most iconic scenery—raw, powerful, and unforgettable.
Witness the raw energy of the Earth at Geysir, the famous geothermal area that gave all geysers their name. Though the Great Geysir itself now erupts rarely, nearby Strokkur puts on a spectacular show every few minutes—shooting boiling water up to 30 meters into the air. Surrounded by steaming vents, bubbling mud pots, and colorful hot springs, this is one of Iceland’s most surreal and unforgettable landscapes.
Feel the power of nature at Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Here, glacial water from the Langjökull ice cap plunges into a dramatic canyon, sending mist into the air and creating frequent rainbows on sunny days. Whether viewed from above or up close, Gullfoss is a breathtaking reminder of Iceland’s wild, untamed beauty—roaring, radiant, and unforgettable.
Relax in the heart of Icelandic nature at Laugarás Lagoon, a tranquil geothermal spa tucked into a forest along the Golden Circle. With your Birki or Lerki admission, you’ll enjoy access to warm mineral-rich pools, a cold plunge, saunas, and a stunning waterfall grotto—all surrounded by panoramic views of the Hvítá River. The lagoon’s unique two-level design lets you drift between soothing temperatures, while a swim-up bar adds a touch of indulgence.
Birki admission includes full access to the lagoon’s amenities, with showers and toiletries provided. Lerki admission offers the same experience with the added convenience of a towel included. Whether you’re visiting by day or soaking under the northern lights in the evening, Laugarás Lagoon offers the perfect blend of relaxation and scenic beauty—an ideal stop on any Golden Circle itinerary.
