Captivating Iceland Stopover Tour – enjoy a three-night stay in Reykjavík with a guided day tour of the stunning Golden Circle. This popular excursion takes you to Þingvellir National Park, where tectonic plates meet; the steamy Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes; and the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, cascading into a dramatic canyon.

For even more relaxation, you can opt to visit the iconic Blue Lagoon, where you’ll soak in warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by volcanic landscapes.

Day 1: Arrival in Iceland

Land in Iceland and head to your hotel in Reykjavík, where you’ll stay overnight. If preferred, you can arrange an airport transfer during the booking process. Use your first evening to stroll through Reykjavík’s lively city centre, explore its boutique shops, sample Icelandic cuisine, or visit a local museum.

Day 2: Golden Circle Adventure

Join a guided excursion along the famous Golden Circle route, an essential introduction to Iceland’s natural highlights. This scenic tour includes stops at Þingvellir National Park, a site of historical and geological significance, the active Strokkur geyser, and the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, cascading into a deep canyon.

Note: The Golden Circle Tour operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Therefore, it may not always take place on day 2 of your trip — the exact day will depend on which weekday you book. This will also determine the order of any optional tours you choose to include in your itinerary.

Day 3: Optional Blue Lagoon Excursion

Take the opportunity to visit the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most iconic destinations. Soak in the warm, silica-rich waters surrounded by lava fields — a relaxing contrast to your adventure-filled days. This optional visit can be included when booking your package.

Day 4: Departure Day

Enjoy your final morning in Reykjavík before checking out and heading to Keflavík International Airport. Optional airport transfers are available with prior booking. Return home refreshed and inspired by Iceland’s unique landscapes and winter charm.
