About this experience
This private tour combines Iceland’s most popular sightseeing route with a lesser-known geothermal experience in a peaceful fjord setting.
Unlike standard Golden Circle tours, you’ll go beyond the typical stops and enjoy time at Hvammsvik Hot Springs — a more secluded and natural alternative to larger spa locations. With a flexible schedule and private guide, you can explore at your own pace and enjoy a relaxed, personalized experience throughout the day.

Next, head to the Geysir geothermal area (about 15 minutes' drive). Witness the impressive eruptions of the Strokkur geyser and explore the other geothermal features in the area.

A picturesque lake nestled within its ancient confines. Formed approximately 3000 years ago, this crater beckoned us to embark on a leisurely stroll around its perimeter. The trail meandered along the crater's edge, treating us to captivating views at every turn.
