Six stops, one soak

About this experience

The planning point: the Secret Lagoon admission ticket is not included, so book the entry ticket (from $33) for the same day. The itinerary gives you 2 hours in the water, and the description talks of 2 to 3 hours of free time at the lagoon. The price is per group, from $1,312 for up to 3 people.

The itinerary, per the listing: about 40 minutes by van from Reykjavik to Thingvellir (45 minutes there), then Kerid crater (40 minutes), Fridheimar (40 minutes) for a tomato soup tasting with bread inside the greenhouse, Geysir (45 minutes), a visit to BRU Horse Farm to meet Icelandic horses, Gullfoss (45 minutes) and finally the Secret Lagoon for 2 hours of swimming. The operator notes the plan is for reference and can change. The soup is a tasting, not a full meal.

Included: a private driver-guide, a jeep or van depending on group size, pickup and drop-off in Reykjavik, fuel and parking fees, Wi-Fi, bottled water and light snacks, the soup tasting, the horse farm visit and optional free pro photos at the stops. An infant seat is available on request. Pickup can be at your accommodation in Reykjavik, the nearest towns, ports or Keflavík airport. The driver waits outside in a Toyota Proace Verso, so be ready 10 minutes early.
