The Grapevine's take

The Secret Lagoon

“Of all the geothermal pools, this is the one where you see the process most,” said our panel of this remarkable bathing spot. “There’s a mini geysir, and you can hear the bassy gurgling fumaroles and feel the temperature fluctuations in the water.” While the “secret” of this popular outdoor bathing lagoon is out in recent times, our panel was impressed by the investment into better facilities. “It’s clean and organised, but still not too manicured—you’re right there in the landscape.”

The Golden Circle stands as an irresistible allure for numerous reasons, unveiling Iceland's most captivating treasures: epic sagas, geothermal marvels, and awe-inspiring natural wonders.

Our Private Tour caters to all types of explorers, whether you are a nature enthusiast or a history buff. Wander through picturesque landscapes, encountering Iceland's most iconic highlights along the way. But the adventure doesn't end there; we also unveil hidden gems, tucked-away wonders, and cultural treasures that are equally enchanting. If the weather smiles upon us, you might even find yourself pausing to admire the famously friendly Icelandic horses.

Our guides are not just experts; they are storytellers, sharing their intimate knowledge of the land and bringing Iceland's history and culture to life. Join us, and let your Golden Circle adventure commence – a journey where every step is a new chapter in your Icelandic story.
