Overview

  • See the Golden Circle and soak in the Secret Lagoon on a private day from Reykjavik. Walk between two tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur erupt at the Geysir geothermal area, feel the spray at Gullfoss waterfall and walk the rim of the colourful Kerid crater. End the day with up to 1.5 hours at the Secret Lagoon in Fludir, one of Iceland's oldest natural pools, with a small geyser bubbling beside the water.

    The day runs at your pace. Choose a saloon for 1-3 travellers or a van for up to 8.

    Your guide collects you from your Reykjavik accommodation with a VAREN name tablet, helps with your luggage and has water on request.

    Your Secret Lagoon entrance ticket is included in the price, so there is nothing extra to pay on the day. Just bring your swimwear.

Activity itinerary

Reykjavik (Pass by)

Your private vehicle choices you up directly from your Reykjavík accommodation at the agreed time. No transfer, no assembly point — the tour starts from your front door. Pickup time will be confirmed 24 hours in advance.

Thingvellir National Park

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
One of only two places on Earth where you can walk a tectonic rift above sea level. The Almannagjá gorge marks the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates, pulling apart at 2 cm per year. This is also where Viking settlers founded the Alþing — the world's first parliament — in 930 AD. Your private guide brings both stories to life without the noise of a large group, letting you linger at whichever part of the park catches your attention most.

Geysir

  • 45m
The English word "geyser" comes from this very field. Strokkur erupts every 5–8 minutes, sending boiling water up to 30 metres into the sky with virtually no warning — which is exactly what makes watching it so addictive. Your guide will position your group in the best spot before each eruption. Between blasts, explore the surrounding geothermal landscape: bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and mineral-stained ground in vivid oranges and yellows.

Gullfoss Waterfall

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The glacial Hvítá river drops in two dramatic tiers into a 32-metre canyon, generating permanent mist, constant rainbows on sunny days, and a roar you feel in your chest before you see the falls. In winter, ice formations build along the edges and the scene turns completely otherworldly. With a private tour there is no schedule pulling you away early — stay as long as the waterfall deserves.

Kerid Crater

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Formed around 6,500 years ago when a magma chamber collapsed inward, Kerið is unlike any other crater on the Golden Circle. The caldera walls are layered in deep red and black volcanic rock streaked with green moss, dropping steeply to a vivid turquoise-green lake at the bottom. Walk the rim for panoramic views or take the path down to the water's edge. On certain summer evenings, musicians perform concerts here — floating on a boat on the lake — because the crater's acoustics are extraordinary.

Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Iceland's oldest natural swimming pool — established in 1891 and fed by natural geothermal springs that keep the water at a constant 38–40°C year-round. Unlike the Blue Lagoon, the Secret Lagoon is unhurried, intimate, and entirely authentic — no enormous queues, no silica mud masks, just warm mineral water, steam rising into Icelandic air, and a small natural geyser erupting a few metres from the pool every few minutes. The perfect final act for a private day tour: completely relaxed, completely yours, and exactly what Iceland should feel like.

Reykjavik (Pass by)

Your private vehicle drops you back directly at your Reykjavík accommodation. Estimated return time is early evening, depending on pace and stops during the day. No shared transfers — door to door, start to finish.
