Duration: Approximately 10 hours

Min. participants: 22

Price: ISK 34.000 per person

Tour Description

Arriving in Iceland in the morning of 10 July?
This tour is an ideal way to make the most of your first day in Iceland. If you are arriving on a morning flight on 10 July, you can settle in before joining us in the afternoon for an unforgettable introduction to some of Iceland’s most famous sights.

More than the Golden Circle
Specially designed for IGARSS participants and their accompanying guests, this tour combines the classic Golden Circle highlights with local food, geothermal experiences and Icelandic farm life.

The first stop is Friðheimar Greenhouse, where visitors can learn about Icelandic greenhouse horticulture and how geothermal energy makes year-round tomato cultivation possible. After a short introduction to the farm, a little surprise awaits before continuing to the Secret Lagoon, one of Iceland’s oldest geothermal pools. Located near Flúðir, the lagoon offers a relaxing experience in warm waters maintained at 38–40°C (100–104°F), surrounded by natural geothermal activity.

Refreshed after the lagoon, the tour continues to Gullfoss, where the powerful Hvítá river plunges into a deep canyon, creating one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls.

From there, the route leads to the Geysir geothermal area, home to bubbling hot springs and the famous Strokkur geyser, which regularly erupts high into the air.

Dinner will be served at Efstidalur, a family-run dairy farm the heart of the Golden Circle, offering a relaxed countryside setting and a glimpse into Icelandic farm life.

The final stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland’s most historically and geologically significant places. Þingvellir is where Iceland’s Alþingi parliament was established more than 1,000 years ago. It is also situated directly on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, creating a remarkable landscape of rifts and fissures.

From Þingvellir, we return to Reykjavík after a full day of Icelandic experiences.

Please bring: Warm and weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, swimsuit and towel!

Tour Includes

Coach transportation, professional guide, visit to Friðheimar, admission to the Secret Lagoon and dinner at Efstidalur Farm.


Golden Circle & More – Exclusive IGARSS Tour with Lunch

Date: Sunday, 11 July, 2027

Departure time: 08:00

Departure from: From Reykjavík

Duration: Approximately 9 hours

Min. participants: 22

Price: ISK 32.000 per person

Tour Description

A full day of Icelandic nature, geothermal experiences and local flavours – followed by the perfect ending to the day at the IGARSS Welcome Reception.

This exclusive IGARSS tour goes beyond the traditional Golden Circle experience:
Geysir • Gullfoss • Lunch inside Friðheimar greenhouse • Secret Lagoon • Þingvellir National Park

And this is much more than a standard Golden Circle tour.

First stop is the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur, home to bubbling hot springs and the famous Strokkur geyser, which regularly erupts high into the air.

From there the tour continues to Gullfoss, where the powerful Hvítá river plunges into a deep canyon, creating one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls.

Next stop is Friðheimar, where visitors can discover how Icelanders use geothermal energy to grow tomatoes year-round – despite Iceland's cool climate and long winters. Lunch is served among the tomato plants. Dining inside a working geothermal greenhouse makes Friðheimar much more than simply a lunch stop – it is a uniquely Icelandic experience.

After lunch, it is time to slow down and relax in the warm waters of the Secret Lagoon (Gamla Laugin), one of Iceland's oldest geothermal swimming pools. Located near the village of Flúðir, the lagoon has retained its natural and authentic character. Steam rises from the surrounding geothermal landscape, and a small geyser erupts nearby while you relax in the warm water. The lagoon remains at a comfortable 38–40°C (100–104°F) throughout the year.

The final stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland's most historically and geologically significant places. Þingvellir is where Iceland's Alþingi parliament was established more than 1,000 years ago, making it one of the world's oldest parliamentary sites. It is also situated on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, creating a remarkable landscape of rifts and fissures.

Please bring: Warm and weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, swimsuit and towel.

Tour Includes

Coach transportation, professional guide, lunch and visit at Friðheimar, and admission to the Secret Lagoon.
