About this experience

Your private adventure begins as we pick you up directly from your Reykjavik accommodation. We'll start our journey east, along Iceland's scenic South Coast. First, we'll visit Seljalandsfoss, a unique waterfall you can walk behind. Get ready to take some amazing photos. Next, we'll head to Skógafoss, a powerful waterfall with a tall drop. You can climb to the top for a fantastic view.

Then, we’ll explore the Dyrhólaey peninsula, a beautiful area with cliffs and birdlife. We’ll see the famous rock arch and stunning ocean views. Our next stop is Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its dramatic basalt columns and powerful waves. Please be careful here.

After that, we’ll drive to the highlight of the tour: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, you’ll see icebergs of all shapes and sizes floating in the lagoon. You can also visit Diamond Beach, where icebergs wash ashore and sparkle like diamonds on the black sand.

Throughout the day, your private guide will share interesting facts about Iceland's nature and history. You’ll travel in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle, perfect for exploring all these locations. We'll ensure you have plenty of time to take photos and enjoy each stop. At the end of the day, we’ll drive you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Iceland’s stunning landscapes.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 365 days before departure, then 30% of the price within 7 days, rising to 50% within 4 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 14 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    My sister and I booked a Golden Circle tour with Nordur Travel. They communicated well with us prior to the trip providing pick up details and any changes to the programme. Lara the guide was very good - friendly and informative and considered the needs of the group. I would happily recommend the company.

    Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Northern Lights, even though we had 2 goes at it! Each trip took us to different places, and although the forecast was apparently very good on the second attempt, we still didn’t see any, despite the enthusiasm and knowledge of both guides. Laura was the perfect guide, with her knowledge and enthusiasm. The hot chocolate drink and pastries were very welcome, and the dark skies on the second night were quite spectacular on their own!

    The tour with Magda was super, she told us a lot of information about Landmannalaugar and the hike was really beautiful! Relaxing in the hot spring at the end was also very nice. All in all a great adventure 👍

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?

It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.

Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?

Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.

What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?

The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.

Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?

Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
