Itinerary
Start with morning pickup from select Reykjavik hotel or cruise port (if option selected), or make your way to Bus Stop #12. Then, settle into a comfortable, shared coach, and admire Iceland’s volcanic interior as you travel along the Golden Circle Route.
Stop at the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park. Learn about the foundation of the world's oldest parliament, which happened here in 930 AD. Then, view the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates that are slowly pulling apart.
Next, visit the majestic “Golden Waterfall” of Gullfoss, considered by many to be Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall, and the Strokkur geyser that spouts water high into the air every few minutes. The final stop on the Golden Circle tour is the enormous Kerid volcanic crater.
Then it's time to rest your muscles at the Secret Lagoon. Relax in a fairy-tale-like setting, made even more magical by the clouds of steam rising from the lagoon. Fed by underground hot springs, the waters stay at 100-104°F (38-40°C) all year round.
Once you're done, dried off, and changed back into your clothes, board the coach for the return ride to Reykjavik, where your experience ends with a drop-off. Note that the order of the itinerary may be changed.

This was a great sampler platter of Iceland’s gems - volcanic craters, hot lagoons, breath-taking waterfalls, geyser fields, and tectonic plates. We loved it!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so happy you loved the tour and enjoyed seeing many of Iceland’s gems in one day, from Kerid Crater and the Secret Lagoon to the waterfall, geysers, and tectonic plates.

Such a wonderful overview of the natural beauty of Iceland. Perfect for travellers who do not have a lengthy stay and don't want to navigate the roads on their own. Our guide was so informative. The excursion group was so helpful with finding the meeting point. Would highly recommend booking this tour!
Roberta_R, Jul 2026
Koba, our guide was wonderful! He explained about the places we were visiting and gave us enough time to see everything. He went out of his way to make sure we understood everything, gave us insight to Icelandic culture and history. He was by far the best guide we have had in our travels!
Joseph_V, Jul 2026

Tandi_K, Jul 2026
The tour guide Monica was great. She was very informative and funny. Kept the mood light and kept us on time so we had plenty of time to see and do everything including shopping and eating. The lagoon was amazing and not crowded. The whole family had a great time!
Gaila_L, Jul 2026
Monica was fantastic, the trip itinerary was perfect, bus was good.
It was well worth every stop! I wouldn’t change anything!
Thank you!

The small group experience to se the golden circle was great. Really loved the secret lagoon. Juliana was a great group leader and took us to a couple of extra spots including for Icelandic ice cream!
Betty_C, Jun 2026
We had the most spectacular day (weather included) with our amazing guide Ottar through bus travel Iceland. I appreciated the smaller group size (we had under 20 folks) but truly our guide made the trip amazing. He was rich with Icelandic history and we learned so much about the geography, climate and history of Iceland. He made an effort to get to know all our names as well. 100 percent the reason we enjoyed this tour so much was Ottar! He even played lots of Icelandic artists for us as he is also a musician when not providing tours. The secret lagoon is so much more peaceful than the blue lagoon. This tour was great all around! The only thing I wish was that it didn’t charge more for bus stop pick as bus stop 12 is not super central. If you are able to request a guide make sure to book with Ottar! You won’t regret it!!
Johanna_K, Jun 2026
Great tour. We were only 6 people and the guide patiently answered all day to my multiple questions😁. Well planned, comfortable and enough time in each of the stops

It's a great way to see some of the highlights of Iceland. I felt there was enough time to see the sights without feeling rushed. The tour guide gave us a lot of info about the countryside we were going through.

One of the best tours i have had. Everything was super organised. The iceland landscape is incredible. The tour guide was also amazing and extremely knowledgable.
Thomas_C, May 2026
We had a wonderful day! Soaking at the secret lagoon, looking at the gullfoss falls, geyser hot springs, and beautiful weather (but cold)! Our driver Otter was great!
Taylor_M, Apr 2026
We had a great time on this tour! We loved how the bus stopped at a new place every 20-40 minutes so you weren't sitting on the bus for hours at a time. The sites were fantastic and our guide Sindri was very knowledgeable.
Nicholas_S, Apr 2026
Siggi was an awesome tour guide. We did all the stops mentioned in the description and he made a few other stops for us which made the tour above average. This was the best tour we did in Iceland during our vacation.
Will_A, Apr 2026
Great day out, seeing some unique and wonderful sights!
From the golden waterfall to the Kerid crater, the gesir and the continental plate rift, all fascinating. And as an added extra, a trip to the tomato fun was fun - tomato beer anyone?!
Jennifer_S, Apr 2026
We were only in Reykjavik for two days. This tour was a wonderful way to spend one of those days. Andrea, our tour guide, was exceptional. There was plenty of time at each location. The day felt well-paced.
Nichole_P, Apr 2026
Had a great time on this tour and was a perfect way to see some of Iceland's wonders in one day. The sights break up the day nicely and each offers something unique.

What an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, this tour captured the natural beauty and wonder of Iceland in the most incredible way.
Watching the geysers erupt was absolutely mesmerizing—seeing the power of nature up close is something you can’t fully appreciate until you’re standing there in the moment. Each burst felt like a reminder of how alive the earth truly is.
The visit to Kerið Crater was just as breathtaking. The vivid contrast between the red volcanic rock and the deep blue water made it feel almost unreal—like stepping into a postcard.
And to top it all off, relaxing in a hot springs lagoon was pure bliss. Soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters while surrounded by stunning landscapes was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.
This tour was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. If you’re visiting Iceland, this is an absolute must-do! Symom& Jesica were AMAZING.

We had an amazing day on this trip, all of the places we visited were good, especially the Secret lagoon, the waterfall was brilliant. A big thank you to Tomek the bus driver who made it a very smooth ride and coped better with an icy car park better than anyone here would ever do. Our guide Gergo was very informative and fun, would love to return to Iceland and maybe do another trip with Bus Travel Iceland, very organised.
kavan_r, Mar 2026
This was a very good tour and well organised seeing all the hotspots . Definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Iceland, our guide Sunny was very good.
Kim_M, Mar 2026
The driver and guide kept us on schedule and skillfully managed our group of 35. Our guide kept us informed with relevant information and history for each stop. They always let us know how long a certain hike or experience would take at each stop so we could manage our time well.
Christina_M, Mar 2026
Had a great time on this tour with Sunny. She was very helpful, engaging and kept us well informed. All of the stops were great but we particularly enjoyed our time at the Secret Lagoon. Would definitely recommend.
Elke_W, Mar 2026
Adverse weather conditions meant we couldn’t complete all the stops on the tour but our guide (the brilliant Bulgarian bus driver) really made an effort to find an alternative stop.
Well organised and felt very safe travelling through a blizzard.
Mini bus has single seats also so good for solo travellers wanting to sit on own, not so great for couples who may want to sit together as it’s a long day.
Ananda_M, Mar 2026
This tour takes you through some INCREDIBLY breathtaking spots.
Although there were more than 40 people in the group, our guide, Barbara, was incredibly kind and took a lot of time to answer everyone's questions. She also knew a LOT about Icelandic history and geography, and it was really incredible to see how passionate she was about the tour. She even did an extra stop to let us pet some cute horses :)
Incredible experience and a must-do for everyone visiting Iceland.
