3.Small-Group Golden Circle, Hvammsvík Spa with Ticket & Crater

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $224

Pack Iceland’s biggest sights into an 11-hour small-group day from Reykjavík. Visit Hveragerði’s geothermal park, Kerið Crater, Gullfoss, Geysir, and Þingvellir, then spend two hours at Hvammsvík Hot Springs beside Hvalfjörður. Guides such as Elias, Siddi, Axel, and Christina add local stories, humor, and useful pacing.

“Had an utterly delightful tour that allowed us plenty of autonomy and flexibility. I can't believe we saw so much in one day! Travalers should book around the moon---swimming in Hvammsik under the full moon was nothing short of magical. We even saw the northern lights on the way back and took dozens of great pictures! My only complaint is that I wish we could have spent more time in certain places, which is obviously not possible, but we'll just have to go back to Iceland! I would recommend this to anyone.”

4.Sky Lagoon Spa Experience with Private Transfer from Reykjavík

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 195 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $296

Spend about three hours at Sky Lagoon, a short private car ride from Reykjavík. Your package includes admission, towel, hotel pickup and drop-off, and the seven-step ritual with Saman or Sér Pass. Choose shared or private changing facilities, then soak in warm water, enjoy the sauna, and look toward the ocean.

“This was a magnificent experience. Driver picked me up right on time. Everyone at Sky Lagoon was so friendly and helpful. You received private changing/shower accommodations and a locker - plenty of towels and everything very clean. If you want to keep your phone, I recommend you purchase the waterproof phone case they have on site for purchase. The views were incredible and the seven step ritual very relaxing. The sauna overlooks the water through a wall of glass. The swim up bar had ample offerings and they have a restaurant/bar/cafe on the inside of the premises. A different experience than the blue lagoon, both great in their own way.…”
