Today you’ll combine Iceland’s famous Golden Circle tour with a visit to Laugar Fontana Spa. Visit the majestic Gullfoss waterfall as well as the famous Geysir hot spring area, where the geyser Strokkur gushes skyward at regular intervals up to 25 metres.
In Laugarvatn you’ll stop at a small country gallery where you can have a taste of local Icelandic produce such as homemade rye bread and smoked trout.
Afterwards you’ll arrive at Fontana Steam Bath for your next pampering session and arguably the highlight of your wellness retreat. Indulge in the aquatic heaven of the spa, which comprises of three steam rooms built over a natural hot spring along with a Finnish style sauna, outdoor mineral baths and a series of hot tubs with views. Stroll onto the spa's black sandy beach and enjoy a bracing dip in the lake which offers soothing relief for muscular complaints.
After a session at Fontana, you will be fully revitalized and ready to continue to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its geological phenomena and rich history. You’ll return to Reykjavik in the evening.
Today you will enjoy the famous Blue Lagoon. The Lagoon is a unique wonder of nature; pleasantly warm mineral-rich geothermal water set in the midst of a black lava field. A visit to the Blue Lagoon is both invigorating and exciting whether one bathes surrounded by snow in winter or during the long summer daylight. You'll return to Reykjavik in the afternoon with the rest of the day at leisure.
Transfer to the airport.
