Small-group Silfra dry-suit snorkeling plus Laugarvatn geothermal spa, with heated gear help, PADI-guided safety, and hot springs time included.
“Amazing experience. Very small group so needs were met. Our guide, Konrad was exceptional. He was very thorough in explaining everything from suiting up and safety info to background info about the park and the fissure. He also took great pictures for us.”
Warm geothermal pools at Hvammsvík Hot Springs, a quieter Iceland soak near Reykjavík with multiple temperatures, a steam room, and ocean views.
“The setting was beautiful and it was nice to have multiple pools, each with a different heat level. It was not at all crowded and we loved the swim-up bar. We also really liked being able to go into the ocean to cool off and then get back into the hot tub. The changing facilities were also very nice and convenient.”
Small-group Golden Circle day trip plus Hvammsvík hot springs, visiting Hveragerði, Kerið, Gullfoss, Geysir, and Þingvellir.
“The tour was fun and interesting. Our guide, Adi kept us on track at a good pace. Wear walking shoes and bring”
Hvammsvík Hot Springs from Reykjavík with return transfers, 2.5 hours soaking, fjord cold plunge, small-group ride and Wi-Fi.
“Activity was enjoyable. I booked this excursion a day prior and received my confirmation and ticket only to be held up at the reception desk. Multiple attendees couldn’t confirm my purchase. Finally a manager had to run to his office and retrieve his laptop computer to view my reservation. He let me know that changes occurred to my reservation and that it hadn’t been completed. Luckily I wasn’t changed a second time and was allowed into the springs after a bit of a wait.”
Sky Lagoon spa in Reykjavik with private transfer, hotel pickup, and optional Ritual cleansing. Choose private or shared changing areas.
“Private pick up and return. Very nice place. Note: 3 drink maximum. Clean and private showere and changing area. Giant panoramic sauna was nice”
Golden Circle sights plus Laugarvatn Fontana spa with rye bread baked in hot springs. Pickup from Reykjavik for a full day.
“We loved the primary destinations - Gullfoss and the Geysir was especially amazing. Also really enjoyed the extra stop at the Tomato farm - words can’t do it justice, but make sure you have a Bloody Mary and/or a bowl of Tomato soup - it is the absolute best I have ever had, anywhere. The mid afternoon stop at the Fontana spa was perfect - enjoyed all the pools, the cold lake plunge and the Hot sand baked Rye bread with smoked trout. A truly memorable day.”
Landmannalaugar hike to Brennisteinsalda and a 1-hour hot-springs soak with round-trip pickup from Reykjavík, small group, guide.
“The places you visit are GORGEOUS. It takes more than 2 hours to get to the national park from Hella and once you get there the hike is beautiful, and fairly easy (only 3 hours of walking). Considering days are so long in the summer, they could probably start a bit later or finish a bit later and go on a longer hike. The hot springs at the end are amazing. It’s overall a good tour. Our guide was super nice.”
Ride a snowmobile on Langjökull and warm up at Secret Lagoon near Flúðir, with Reykjavik pickup, a super truck ride, and hot springs stops.
“We were told in advance that the ice cave had collapsed so wouldn’t be part of our tour so we were kept fully informed. The snow mobiling was amazing the views were stunning. We got picked up in a big snow truck which was fun. It’s about 2 hours to the glacier, we love watching the scenery but know some people don’t like to travel far so to be aware of that before you book. The secret lagoon is lovely and much less touristy than the blue lagoon.”

The tour itself is fabulous, myself and my husband had the most amazing time, would 100% recommend to anyone. Fabulous, thank you Thory 👍”
