Day tour and aurora hunt · Reykjavik
The Golden Circle with Kerid crater and 2 hours in the Secret Lagoon by day, then a break in Reykjavik and a northern lights hunt after dark, all in one booking. Pick it for the lights: if they do not show, you can join the evening tour again on another night for free.
Lagoon time: the Secret Lagoon entrance ticket is in the price, and you spend 2 hours there, per the listing, early in the day. The day tour leaves Reykjavik at 9am or 10.30am. On the 9am tour you are back in Reykjavik at around 5.30pm and the northern lights tour starts at 8.30pm; on the 10.30am tour you are back at around 7pm and the lights tour starts at 9.30pm. In between you have a couple of hours for dinner. The whole thing takes about 12 hours.
First Kerid crater, about 6,500 years old per the listing. Then the 2 hours at the old pool in Flúðir, with the water at 38-40°C. After that the Geysir geothermal area, where the hot springs erupt into the air, Gullfoss, the two-tiered Golden Waterfall, and last Thingvellir, where the drift between the North American and Eurasian plates shows in the Almannagjá canyon. That evening the guides drive out in search of clear skies and the green lights, telling old Icelandic folk tales about them, with hot chocolate on board.
Included: the Golden Circle tour, the Northern Lights Safari tour, the Secret Lagoon and Kerid crater entrance tickets, hot chocolate and an expert guide. Not included: meals and towel rental. Children under 2 cannot join. The lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed, which is why the free retry matters. The lagoon itself closes in the evening in the aurora season, so a tour like this is how you pair the two, per the Secret Lagoon. A friendly tip: book it early in your trip. That leaves you spare nights to use the retry.
