You will then be taken to Gullfoss and feel the mist of glacial water as it cascades down one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Finally, you will witness the Geysir and hear the bubbling of the mud pots, smell the sulfur in the air and watch in awe as the geyser Strokkur blasts boiling water into the air.
After the Golden Circle tour, you'll stop off at Fontana Spa and Baths on the way back. Built over a geothermal area, the Laugarvatn Fontana Spa features geothermal steam rooms, hot pools, outdoor mineral baths, and a fantastic view over the lake, into which you can also jump if you feel like it.

In the afternoon, enjoy an Icelandic Whale Watching tour from the old harbor of Reykjavik. Abundant summer daylight combined with a unique mixture of cold and warm sea currents that blend in Iceland's shallow fjords make the Icelandic territorial waters home to a rich variety of krill and fish, and consequently a bountiful feeding ground that attracts twenty-three species of whales.
