Join BusTravel Iceland for a 9-hour Reykjanes Peninsula trip with guides such as Beggi, Hler, Roman, or Sara. You’ll visit Kleifarvatn and Seltún, hike across recent lava near Fagradalsfjall, then spend 2.5 hours at the Blue Lagoon with a towel, silica mask, and drink included.
“Loved it!! Sara was great guide! I wish we had less fog so we could have more visibility of the crater but over the less enjoyed the hike and blue lagoon comes as a reward right after! One of our best days!!”
See Thingvellir, Strokkur, Gullfoss, and Kerid Crater with an English-speaking guide in a group of no more than 19. Your day ends at the Blue Lagoon, with admission booked separately. Expect hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, and guides known for lively stories and helpful local tips.
“Everything was excellent.Especially the driver (i think his name is Tom) was very friendly.”
Travel from Reykjavik by air-conditioned bus to Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss, then spend two hours at Laugarvatn Fontana. Guides such as Eric, Margret, Lasma, and Dylan bring the history to life, while the spa, steam rooms, lake views, and hot-spring rye bread add a relaxing finish.
“Safe uncrowded small bus travel experience to 4 stellar Iceland sites - with adequate time to enjoy them all along with lunch. Appropriate tour bus guide narration along the way during several hours on the road. A full 10 hour day - door to door”
Spend about nine hours visiting Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and Kerið Crater, then relax in the Secret Lagoon. Arctic Adventures uses a minibus for groups of up to 19, with hotel-area pickup, entry fees, Wi-Fi, and an English-speaking guide included.
“Our guide was the lovely Ivor who looked after us very well. The tour goes to a good mixture of locations and we had the right amount of time at each one bearing in mind how much we fitted in. The places are spectacularly beautiful. It was magical to spend time in the hot springs of the secret lagoon, which doesn't have all the extras of blue lagoon but feels very authentic. Be sure to take a cossie and towel. Definitely recommend!”
Travel from Reykjavík to Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and Faxi before soaking in the Secret Lagoon. English-speaking guides such as Pascal, Andre, and Monica add local stories, while small groups allow a calmer pace and early access to the lagoon.
“Super nice trip. Carlos the guide was very informative and helpful!”
A terrace, a lagoon, a bath house or a crater at dawn.
