This is the perfect combination of the Golden Circle tour with the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon, taking you to see the Europe and North America continental plates, geysers and hot springs, and the golden waterfall on a full day guided tour.
The day starts with a visit to the Thingvellir valley, a place of natural beauty where the land has been torn apart by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the largest freshwater lake in Iceland and is the beating heart of Icelandic pride, being the birthplace of the longest-standing parliament in the world.
The journey then continues to the Geysir park which is filled with geothermal springs. The anticipation builds as you approach the viewing point for the Strokkur Geyser, where the ground trembles and almost without warning, the geyser erupts to a height of 35 meters. Then you continue to the Golden Waterfall. As the water melts from the second-largest glacier in Iceland, Langjökull, it reaches Gullfoss where it falls 32 meters down into a canyon.
You then head back to the capital area to prepare for a visit to one of the wonders of the world, the Blue Lagoon. The mineral-rich waters offer a unique and first-hand experience of Iceland's plentiful geothermal springs. The warm waters offer a perfect way to relax and reflect upon the natural beauty of this island and is a must-see when traveling to Iceland.
