Geysirs, Hot-springs & Aurora. The ultimate Iceland tour!

This combination tour offers early access to the lagoon, allowing you to enjoy the warm geothermal waters before the crowds arrive.

Tour Overview

Start your day at the colorful Kerið Crater before heading to the Secret Lagoon, one of Iceland’s oldest natural geothermal pools. The mineral‑rich water stays at a soothing 38–40°C year‑round, offering the perfect moment to unwind and recharge.

After your time in the lagoon, continue along the Golden Circle route to explore the geothermal wonders of Geysir, the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, and the historic Þingvellir National Park—where geology and Icelandic history meet.

Upon returning to Reykjavík, you’ll have a short break before joining your professional guide for an evening Northern Lights tour departing from the same pickup location.

This combination is one of Iceland’s most popular tours—and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.
