Private, with a farm stop

About this experience

Of the three private tours on this site, this is the one with the Secret Lagoon admission ticket included. The price is per group, from $1,102 for up to 4 people, and it covers pickup and drop-off in Reykjavik, a local driver-guide, a comfortable eco-friendly vehicle with free Wi-Fi, all taxes and fees, comfort stops when you want them and a bottle of water.

The day follows the classic loop. Thingvellir National Park comes first: you walk between the North American and Eurasian plates. Then Geysir, where Strokkur erupts every few minutes, and Gullfoss, where glacial water pours into a deep canyon. The lagoon comes after the sights, so you get into the warm water with the walking done. It is a private, flexible tour, so if you want longer in the pool, say so to your driver-guide.

Then the stop that gives the tour its name: a local farm market and countryside coffee house. Depending on the season, the listing mentions homemade cakes, fresh tomato soup, Icelandic coffee, local honey, jams, vegetables and meat products from local farmers. Food and drinks are paid separately. Towels and swimwear are not included either, so pack your own or rent them at the lagoon for ISK 1,200 each. Allow 9 to 10 hours, depending on weather and road conditions.
