Things to Do in Iceland

We scheduled our visit to the Blue Lagoon for 8 am on the day we left Iceland. I was advised to do this as the Lagoon is only like 10 minutes from the airport. Let me tell you this, it is worth the drive to Reykjavik and back to be able to spend as much time here as you like. I only got to spend about an hour and I could have stayed all day! I went early and would recommend doing so as it fills up quickly, the mud mask is very nice as are the changing facilities. There are hairdryers and wet bags and shampoo and conditioner. Definitely listen when they say to put conditioner on wet hair because it is hard to comb through it after the Lagoon. Take a wet bag for your phone because you will want pictures!

So beautiful 20 e from Reykjavik 25 back. It’s absolutely amazing 7 step Ritual ❤️

WOW! What an unbelievable trip. It was amazing to see the beautiful sights of Reykjavik and you had more than enough time at each location to fully appreciate the views and the wonderful country that is Iceland. My advice is to DEFINITELY book the snowmobiling alongside the Golden Circle trip - it may seem expensive but it’s hard to even describe how surreal the views are and how much fun this was. Definitely a highlight of our holiday!

It was a really long day but our driver and guide HBO was amazing. He found a great balance between providing us with information about iceland and quiet time in between for us to take in the sights. He was happy to answer any questions we had about iceland. The tour was great even though the weather was really disappointing. It’s a great way to take in the sights within a day.

So glad that we booked this tour as a package as it was a great day and each stop was amazing, with the highlight ending the day at the Blue Lagoon that was awesome! Our tour guide Axel was a great guide, very attentive and knowledgeable and timed the day perfectly at each stop as did not feel rushed or pressured to move on from each stop at all. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of checking out the golden circle tour and blue lagoon together, 100% worth it!

It was a wonderful experience. Our guide Perla and driver Magic did an excellent job. I enjoyed very much Perla's commentaries which were interesting, funny, informative, and sometimes including her personal episodes. Good balance between commentary time and tranquility (music) time. And many thanks for the small additional stops by a beautiful river, ice cream farm, horse farm.

Amazing scenery, definitely worth the 11h journey. The guide, HBO, played some awesome Icelandic music which went really well with the landscape we were seeing. We managed to go behind Seljalandsfoss, the weather was good. Diamon Beach was gorgeous and the glacier lagoon is breathtaking. Scary how everything is melting though.

I spent an amazing day discovering the Golden Circle in Iceland ! Our guide was really nice, with a lot of explanations (but not too much !) in the bus. The time spent in each place can be short, but it is the main and classical inconvenient to do the Golden Circle in 1 day. I recommend this excursion to enjoy Iceland nature in one day !
