Golden Circle - Secret Lagoon

Thingvellir National Park - Þingvellir (Thingvellir) is a historic site and national park in Iceland, located east of Reykjavík. It is renowned for the Alþing (Althing), the site of Iceland’s parliament from the 10th to 18th centuries. The park features the Þingvellir Church and remnants of ancient stone shelters. Situated in a rift valley formed by the separation of two tectonic plates, the park boasts rocky cliffs and fissures, including the impressive Almannagjá fault.

Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths - The bread is made from a traditional recipe, buried in the warm ground, and baked for 24 hours. Once unearthed, it is simply delicious! Visitors are invited to witness this unique process firsthand and taste the geothermal baked bread.

Efsti-Dalur 2 - This family-run farm welcomes tourists and offers a variety of farm-fresh products, including the renowned ice cream, skyr, and feta cheese. The restaurant serves beef from the farm and other local delicacies.

Geysir - Geysir, also known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland. It was the first geyser documented in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans. The English word “geyser” is derived from Geysir, which itself comes from the Icelandic verb “geysa,” originating from Old Norse.

Gullfoss Waterfall - The broad Hvítá river flows southward, and about a kilometer above the falls, it sharply turns right, cascading down a wide, curved three-step “staircase” before plunging in two stages (11 meters or 36 feet, and 21 meters or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 meters (105 ft) deep. The crevice, approximately 20 meters (66 ft) wide and 2.5 kilometers (1.6 mi) long, runs perpendicular to the river’s flow. The average water flow over the waterfall is 140 cubic meters (4,900 cu ft) per second in summer and 80 cubic meters (2,800 cu ft) per second in winter. The highest recorded flood was 2,000 cubic meters (71,000 cu ft) per second.

In the early to mid-20th century, there was considerable interest in harnessing Gullfoss for electricity generation. During this time, the waterfall was indirectly leased by its owners, Tómas Tómasson and Halldór Halldórsson, to foreign investors. However, these efforts were unsuccessful, partly due to financial constraints. Eventually, the waterfall was sold to the Icelandic state and is now protected.

Sigríður Tómasdóttir, daughter of Tómas Tómasson, was passionate about preserving the waterfall’s natural state and even threatened to throw herself into it. Although widely believed, the popular story that Sigríður saved the waterfall from exploitation is not true. A stone memorial above the falls honors her, depicting her profile.

Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions. Along with Þingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur, Gullfoss is part of the Golden Circle, a favored day trip for visitors to Iceland.

Fridheimar - At Friðheimar, tomatoes are cultivated year-round, despite Iceland’s long, dark winters, using artificial lighting in greenhouses. Visitors are welcome to tour the greenhouses and sample the produce. They can also take home delicious food souvenirs made from the farm’s tomatoes and cucumbers. Additionally, horses are bred here, and a horse show is available in fourteen different languages.

Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin - The Secret Lagoon natural hot springs are located in the quaint village of Fludir, within the Golden Circle area. The site has been preserved in its natural state to offer guests an authentic Icelandic experience. The pool’s natural surroundings and the steam rising into the air create a magical atmosphere. The warm water remains at 38-40 Celsius year-round. The area features several geothermal spots and a small geyser that erupts every 5 minutes, delighting guests relaxing in the hot spring. In winter, the northern lights often provide a spectacular display above the Secret Lagoon. What better way to enjoy this breathtaking light show than by relaxing in the pool’s warm waters?

The South Coast Tour and Glacier Hike

Seljalandsfoss - Seljalandsfoss waterfall is a stunningly graceful waterfall located on Iceland’s South Coast. This magnificent natural wonder plunges approximately 60 meters into the serene pool below, and a hidden path allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall for a complete 360° view.

Skogafoss - Just a few kilometers from Iceland’s southern shores lies the village of Skógar along the Southern Ring Road. It is a popular summer resort center surrounded by extraordinary scenic beauty. The breathtaking view of Skogáfoss waterfall, the picturesque surroundings, and the snow-capped peaks of two towering glaciers are Skógar’s main summer attractions. There are two settlements by this name: Ytri-Skógar (outer or western Skógar) and Eystri-Skógar (eastern Skógar), located a short distance apart. Ytri-Skógar, commonly referred to as Skógar, is the main settlement. It is an old farm with a church dating back to 1890, situated between the Skógá and Kverná rivers.

The greatest attraction of Skógar is undoubtedly the stunning 60-meter high Skogáfoss waterfall in the Skógá river. Similar to the legends of buried treasures of Egill Skallagrímsson in Mosfell near Reykjavík and Ketilbjörn in Mosfell near Skálholt, there is a legend about the settler Þrasi, who is believed to have hidden his chest of gold beneath the Skogáfoss waterfall.

When the sun conditions are favorable, a vivid rainbow can be seen in front of the waterfalls. The river below the falls is home to a large population of salmon and char, attracting fishermen from July to October. The path leading to the top of the waterfalls continues along the river upstream, where numerous more dramatic waterfalls of sheer beauty can be found. It is an exceptional hike, to say the least!

One of Iceland’s finest folk museums is located in the stunning natural surroundings of Skógar. The fascinating local folk museum houses a collection of over 6,000 artifacts and examples of various types of dwellings in Iceland from early times. The collection of tools and equipment used on land and sea is remarkable. The museum also features an old turf farmhouse, where guests can experience the living standards of past centuries in Iceland.

From Skógar, the Ring Road runs eastward along the base of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, across the southern sandy plains and over glacial rivers, passing Seljavellir and continuing along the towering glaciated mass of Eyjafjöll and the two waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi. From here, a 10 km trek follows the Skógá river over the Fimmvörðuháls Pass between the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers to the mountain oasis of Þórsmörk.

Skógar is an ideal place to explore the natural diversity of the south or, if the weather is favorable, to enjoy a holiday amid beautiful and rugged landscapes. It is also very close to the ocean and the unique black beach.

Solheimajokull Glacier - This is an informative and accessible glacier walk on Sólheimajökull glacier. A certified and experienced glacier guide will lead participants through a frozen wonderland of various shades of glacier ice. The spectacular colors of the ice can range from white to blue or crystal clear. Participants will safely observe deep crevasses and water cauldrons, along with other fascinating features of the glacier. During the glacier hike, there will be ample opportunities for photography. Additionally, the expert guide will share insights about the ever-changing landscapes of Icelandic glaciers, their formation, and how these icy giants are connected with the surrounding volcanoes and mountains. No technical skills are required for this tour, and all necessary glacier walk equipment will be provided. This is a fantastic, family-friendly way to experience an Icelandic glacier.

Black Sand Beach - Reynisfjara is a world-renowned black-sand beach located on Iceland’s South Coast, near the small fishing village of Vík í Mýrdal. With its towering basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves, and breathtaking panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely regarded as the most beautiful example of Iceland’s black sand beaches. In 1991, National Geographic named Reynisfjara one of the Top 10 non-tropical beaches to visit worldwide. Reynisfjara is situated approximately 180 kilometers (112 miles) from Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavík, and is a popular stop for those taking a sightseeing tour along the South Coast.
