Stop 1: Þingvellir National Park, 806 Selfoss, Iceland

Duration: 30 minutes

Þingvellir is where Iceland’s story as a nation truly began. It’s the site of Alþingi, the world’s oldest still-functioning parliament, first assembled in 930 AD. For centuries, chieftains met here to debate laws and settle disputes under open skies.

Today, it’s a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for both its historical importance and its striking geography. You’ll walk through a dramatic rift valley where two massive tectonic plates—the North American and Eurasian—are slowly pulling apart.

This visible divide grows about 2 cm (0.79 inches) every year, creating cliffs, cracks, and lava fields that shape the region’s ever-changing terrain. Volcanic activity has left its mark, and you may notice newly formed lava tubes scattered throughout the park.

Stop 2: Geysir Geothermal Area, Haukadalur Valley

Duration: 30 minutes

Next, you’ll visit the place that gave its name to all geysers. The Great Geysir is the oldest known geyser in Europe, its name derived from the Icelandic word “geysa,” meaning “to gush.”

While it rarely erupts today, nearby Strokkur steals the show, erupting every few minutes and shooting boiling water up to 30 meters (100 feet) into the sky. The geothermal field around Geysir is alive with bubbling mud pots, steaming vents, and colorful mineral deposits.

It’s a feast for the senses and a favorite stop for photos. Nearby, the Geysir Center offers informative displays about the area’s geothermal energy and natural forces at play.

Stop 3: Gullfoss Waterfall, Bláskógabyggð 846, Iceland

Duration: 30 minutes

Gullfoss, or the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Fed by the glacier river Hvítá, the water plunges down two levels—11 meters (36 feet) and 22 meters (71 feet)—into a rugged canyon formed at the end of the last Ice Age.

The raw power of the falls is undeniable, and the sound of it alone is unforgettable. As you walk the paths alongside it, you’ll feel the cold mist and, on sunny days, catch sight of a rainbow arcing over the spray.

The erosion from the powerful flow continues to reshape the canyon by about 25 cm (9.8 inches) each year. The tour may also include a quick stop at Faxi waterfall, and optional detours like Efstidalur dairy farm, the greenhouse restaurant at Friðheimar, or the Secret Lagoon—a quieter, more rustic geothermal bath hidden from the crowds.

Stop 4: Blue Lagoon, Norðurljósavegur 9, Grindavík 240, Iceland

Duration: 2 hours

The final stop is Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa, the Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by dark lava rock and filled with milky-blue, mineral-rich water, this man-made lagoon is fed by superheated water from a nearby geothermal power plant.

The temperature ranges from 37–40°C (98–104°F), perfect for soaking and relaxing. The water is refreshed every 40 hours and contains over 9 million liters at a time.

Rich in silica, algae, and minerals, it’s believed to help soothe skin conditions like psoriasis. Within the lagoon, you’ll find a cave, a warm waterfall, and an in-water bar serving drinks as you float.

Other facts:

The lagoon sits in an 800-year-old lava field.
The water comes from 2,000 meters (6,561 feet) underground.
The silica gives the lagoon its signature blue color.
In summer, the water turns greenish from algae growth.
Children under two are not allowed.
Entry must be pre-booked; it is not included in the tour price

The Blue Lagoon was named one of the 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic in 2012. Whether you come for the healing waters or the surreal setting, this stop is a highlight of any trip to Iceland.

Soaking the Magic of Blue Lagoon After Dark

Visiting the Blue Lagoon with my 11-year-old daughter was an unforgettable experience! We spent several hours soaking in the warm, magical blue water, and being there in the evening made it even more special with the beautiful lighting.

Blue Lagoon is well worth a visit

We went here on our first full day in Iceland and it was the perfect start to our trip. We had a quick bite to eat at the cafe (lots of good options for food) and then enjoyed the Blue Lagoon...
