Golden Circle, Tomato Farm Fridheimar & Laugarás Lagoon

Itinerary

1. 1
   Thingvellir National Park 40 minutes · Admission included

   Explore Iceland’s most important historical site and one of its most remarkable geological wonders. Þingvellir is where the Icelandic parliament was founded in 930 and where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes and deep fissures. Here you will also see Lake Þingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest natural lake, fed by crystal-clear water that travels underground for decades before emerging.

2. 2
   Geysir 30 minutes

   Walk among steaming vents, boiling pools, and vibrant mineral springs in Iceland’s most active geothermal park. Watch Strokkur geyser erupt dramatically every 5–7 minutes — sometimes sending boiling water up to 40 meters into the air. You will also encounter Blesi, a beautiful pair of contrasting hot springs, one crystal-clear and steaming, the other cold and vividly blue.

3. 3
   Gullfoss Falls 30 minutes · Admission included

   Witness one of Iceland’s most powerful and iconic waterfalls. Fed by meltwater from the Langjökull glacier, Gullfoss crashes in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon. On clear days you may even see the striking mountain ridge Jarlhettur in the distance, with Langjökull rising behind it.

4. 4
   Fridheimar 1 hour

   A unique and cozy lunch stop at Friðheimar. This family-run greenhouse restaurant is famous for its fresh tomato cuisine, enjoyed right inside a working geothermal greenhouse. The highlight is their well-known tomato soup with freshly baked bread, offering a warm and flavorful break while learning about sustainable farming in Iceland.

5. 5
   Stop 2 hours · Admission included

   End your day with a rejuvenating soak in the beautiful Laugarás Lagoon. Surrounded by calm countryside scenery, this geothermal lagoon is naturally heated year-round and offers a tranquil, intimate atmosphere — the perfect way to unwind after a day filled with sightseeing and adventure.
