Itinerary
Reykjavík – Pickup
Your day begins with a convenient pickup from selected locations around Reykjavík. Travel in comfort aboard a premium minibus, led by a professional and knowledgeable guide. As we leave the city behind, your guide will share fascinating stories about Iceland’s nature, history, and culture, setting the stage for an unforgettable day.
Kerið Volcanic Crater
Our first stop is Kerið, a striking volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area. Estimated to be around 6,500 years old, Kerið’s vivid red and green slopes contrast beautifully with the bright aquamarine lake nestled in the caldera below.
You’ll have time to walk around the crater rim for panoramic photos or descend the wooden staircase to stand at water level—an awe-inspiring experience that brings you face-to-face with Iceland’s dramatic geology. Your entrance fee is included in the tour.
Friðheimar Horse Show & Greenhouse Experience
Next, we arrive at Friðheimar Farm, a family-run greenhouse and horse farm where sustainability and tradition meet.
We begin with a unique Icelandic horse show inside the farm’s stables. Learn about this ancient breed—small but sturdy—and watch a demonstration of their five unique gaits, including the smooth and fast tölt. This breed has been isolated for over a thousand years and holds a special place in Icelandic culture.
Following the horse show, you’ll be invited into the geothermal greenhouse, where tomatoes are grown year-round using Iceland’s natural energy. With powerful artificial sunlight and naturally heated water, Friðheimar produces tomatoes in a land where growing vegetables might otherwise seem impossible.
Enjoy a guided tour of the greenhouse and sample their house-made tomato soup or refreshing tomato-based drinks at the bar. A table is reserved for our group, allowing you to relax and enjoy the atmosphere in this lush and unique dining space (lunch is at your own cost).
Gullfoss Waterfall – "The Golden Falls"
After a delicious stop, we continue to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. Watch in awe as glacial meltwater from Langjökull Glacier plunges into a deep canyon, creating a deafening roar and misty spray.
Take your time to explore several viewing platforms, each offering a different perspective of this mighty two-tiered cascade. Whether bathed in sun or shrouded in mist, Gullfoss never fails to impress.
Geysir Geothermal Area – Iceland’s Famous Hot Springs
Our next destination is the bubbling and hissing Geysir geothermal field in Haukadalur valley, a place so famous that it gave the word “geyser” to the English language.
While the original Great Geysir is mostly dormant, the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 20 meters into the air. Walk among steaming vents, bubbling pools, and multicolored mineral deposits as your guide explains the powerful forces at work beneath your feet.
This area is rich in geothermal activity and a must-see on any visit to Iceland.
Þingvellir National Park – Walk Between Continents
We now travel to the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir National Park, a place of both incredible natural beauty and immense historical importance.
Geologically, Þingvellir lies in a rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Here, you can physically walk through Almannagjá Canyon, a visible rift between two continents that are slowly drifting apart.
Historically, Þingvellir is the birthplace of the world’s oldest surviving parliament, the Althingi, established by Icelandic settlers in 930 AD. Learn how ancient laws were made and disputes settled in this dramatic landscape where Viking democracy was born.
Take in views of Iceland’s largest natural lake, Þingvallavatn, and enjoy a leisurely walk along the marked trails to admire the park’s geological wonders and cultural landmarks.
Sky Lagoon Geothermal Spa – Luxury & Serenity by the Sea
After a full day of sightseeing, it’s time to unwind in pure Icelandic luxury at Sky Lagoon, located just minutes from Reykjavík on a quiet oceanfront peninsula.
Your Sér Pass grants you access to private changing rooms and the full 7-step Ritual Experience. Begin with a relaxing soak in the infinity pool, where the warm waters merge with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Reykjavík’s skyline.
Follow the traditional Icelandic spa ritual, which includes:
A refreshing cold plunge
A rejuvenating sauna with ocean views
A cooling mist experience
A relaxing steam room
A body scrub with mineral-rich sea salt
A warm shower
A final soak in the lagoon
This therapeutic sequence is designed to leave you revitalized in both body and mind. Sky Lagoon offers a more intimate and peaceful alternative to the Blue Lagoon, making it a favorite among locals and luxury travelers alike.
Reykjavík – Drop-off
After your Sky Lagoon experience, we return you to your selected drop-off point in Reykjavík. Expect to arrive back in the city around 7:00–7:30 PM, depending on traffic and weather.
