Bubble with Golden Circle

The site is home to breathtaking geology including views of where the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates meet as well as where those plates have been drifting apart.

Stop 2 Geysir hot spring

Our next stop on this Golden Circle Iceland tour is the famous Geysir hot spring area. It is located in the geothermally active valley Haukadalur. Today the most active is Strokkur, an energetic spouting hot spring, which goes up every 5 minutes or so. The white column of boiling water forms a beautiful half bubble before it goes up as a super-heated steaming water. It can reach the height of 15-30 m (60-90 feet). Strokkur (the churn) was formed in an earthquake in the year of 1789. Other interesting hot springs are Blesi and Fata, the former are two large basins separated by the ”blaze” but connected to it is Fata. We also have Konungshver named after King Christian IX king from Denmark.

Stop 3 Gullfoss waterfall

A highlight of the Golden Circle Tour is the mighty Gullfoss Waterfall is an awe inspiring sight. It is easily one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls as it name directly translates to ‘Golden Falls’ or ‘Waterfall of Gold’.  It’s waters stem from the glacial river, Hvítá before cascading stunningly down two huge steps descending into a deep gorge. The immense power of Gullfoss waterfall is a must-see on your Iceland holiday. If you’re lucky, you might even get sprayed by the powerful water.

Stop 4 Secret Lagoon

Our next stop is the secret lagoon at Fludir. It is a natural hot spring and oldest swimming pool in Iceland (created in 1891). The tempreture is perfect at 38-40 Celsius or 100-104 Fahrenheit all year round.

Stop 5 Sleeping in a bubble

Finally we will visit the bubble for a night's stay. All the bubbles are transparent so if the aurora show's you will have a private display.

There are 9 bubbles and all are exactly the same and located just a short distance walk from the service house which contains two toilets, two showers and a self contained kitchen.

Tour Duration: 24 hours
