Your tour departs from your hotel at 2:00 PM. Discover the capital city Reykjavík on a panoramic tour, experiencing its charming architecture and beautiful, brightly-
colored rooftops. Visit the Perlan Observation Deck to see magnificent 360o views

Begin your journey on the famed Golden Circle, starting with the spectacular
Þingvellir National Park, a meeting place of old Icelandic clans. It is also where the

Secret Lagoon: small and intimate, it’s where savvy travelers go to enjoy the
Icelandic spa experience. Don’t forget your swimsuit! Enjoy a lunch in the
greenhouse of Friðheimar Tomato Farm. Then it’s on to the Strokkur geyser, which
erupts every 10 minutes. Stop at Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most photographed
spots in all of Iceland. Move on to your countryside hotel and enjoy dinner with your
group. After dark, you might soak in the hotel’s outdoor hot tub while watching for
the Northern Lights. (B, L, D)
