Information about the One Day Trip to the Golden Circle and Secret lagoon
The Golden Circle of Iceland is a route near Reykjavík that includes some of the most fascinating natural monuments in all of Iceland, going into the heart of the island. The main places of interest are the Thingvellir National Park, a place that has not only incredible natural landscapes but which is also of great historical and geological importance (here the tectonic plates are dividing between Europe and North America as we speak); the impressive golden waterfall of Gullfoss, one of the most beautiful on Iceland with its imposing double falls that drop into a great canyon of the Hvítá river; and the valley of Haukadalur, an area of great geothermal activity and where the famous geysers Geysir and Strokkur are located.
The Secret Lagoon of the Golden Circle is one of Iceland's oldest natural geothermal pools and has stunning views. These natural hot springs are found in the small village of Fludir, in the area of the Golden Circle. The landscape and waters have remained intact since the lagoon was created in 1891, which is ideal to truly get to know and feel the real Iceland. The natural environment of the pool and the steam that rises in the air give the place a magical feeling. The water is maintained at 38-40 degrees Celsius throughout the year and throughout the area we can find different geothermal points, plus a small geyser that erupts every 5 minutes, becoming the perfect show for those who are bathing in the lagoon.
What do you need to bring? No matter what time of year you decide to travel to Iceland, it is always important to bring a good waterproof jacket, trekking clothes (waterproof pants like Gore-tex), good trekking shoes, gloves, light hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, camera and water bottle. Also, it's IMPORTANT to remember to bring a swimsuit and towel for this excursion so that you can enjoy the lagoon to the max.
