Soak in a natural pool, listen to the bubbling hot spring in the steam rooms, or (for the adventurous), take a dip in the refreshing lake.
Since 1929, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths by Lake Laugarvatn. Hot, healing steam simmers directly from the ground through grids in the cabin floors of the three traditional steam rooms. The temperature of the steam varies between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F). Grids in the floor of the steam rooms allow guests to hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring right underneath, creating a natural and unique experience.
Fontana’s pools, hot tub and Finnish sauna are perfect for relaxation. Completing the ensemble is the lake itself and the beach. Bathers can walk into the cool lake from a pier or walk on the warm black sand beach. Cold bathing is believed to have beneficial health effects.
The café at Laugarvatn Fontana offers a selection of healthy and locally produced delicacies and refreshments, including traditional steam-baked rye bread.

Enjoy a natural and historical treasure in the Golden Circle area: the peaceful and mystical Secret Lagoon hot spring pool.
We have kept the Secret Lagoon natural, simple, and unique for you so that you can get the true Icelandic experience.
The Secret Lagoon, known locally as Gamla Laugin, is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. It was made in 1891 at Hveraholmi, a geothermal area near Fludir.
What makes our place special is the rich natural resources of warm water coming from hot springs. Vadmalahver, Basahver, and Litli Geysir (active geyser which spouts every few minutes, showing off for the guests), provide 100% of the water supply in the lagoon.  The pool water flows continuously, and it takes only 24 hours to its complete replacement. Warm, clean, and rich in sulfur, the water stays at 38-40°C (100 – 104°F) all year round.
There are several hot springs around the Secret Lagoon. A walking path is built around the pool so that you can safely watch the boiling, gushing springs of water from it. Modern changing rooms are located close to the pool. A bistro sells snacks, cold sandwiches and drinks.

The restaurants your tour visits are a variety of casual, fine dining and cozy family run businesses. Some are well-known “must visit restaurants” in Reykjavik while other are secret local hangouts.
This tour focuses on our country’s best cuisines and leaves out some less mouth-watering traditional cuisines – no fermented shark, rams testicles and sour sheep heads on this tour! But your local guide will be more than happy to suggest to you where you can find such things.
The Reykjavik Food Tour is safe, family friendly and the perfect local introduction to our delicious Icelandic food.

The Puffin Express tour has been popular for over 20 years! Our great experience and especially designed boat, Skúlaskeið (“Old Skuli”), makes us the leading expert in the area.

We sail out from the old harbor in Reykjavik to reach the puffin island, Akurey. On the journey out you will be able to view Reykjavik from the seaside [remember your camera], and the guide will also share information about the buildings &amp; islands that can be spotted along the way.
The islands we visit are covered with small hills and slopes and are well known for colorful birdlife. The island’s shores are rocky, but our boat Old Skuli is specially designed to take us as close to the islands as possible due to its shallow draft. When we arrive to the islands we’ll turn off the engine you can peacefully observe the birds and the beautiful surroundings.
Your expert guide will tell you all the facts and fun stories about the cute puffins and other wildlife you might see on the tour.

Visit waterfalls, glaciers and black sand beaches on Iceland&#8217;s south coast in in great comfort. This tour is led by one of our experienced and fun driver-guides and run exclusively in small groups of no more than 18 people.
Iceland’s reputation as the “land of fire and ice” is well earned. Nowhere is this contrast more visible than the south coast of the country. Landscapes and geological features and colors change from one moment to the next along this scenic route.
The first stop of the day is the Skogafoss waterfall. This waterfall drops from old sea cliffs with views of Eyjafjallajokull volcano in the background. You can approach the water as close as you wish and really feel its power. If you are feeling adventurous as well as energetic, there is a moderately challenging climb of 370 steps to a viewing platform at the top of the falls.
Reynisfjara black sand beach is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural attractions. This shoreline features black sands, formed from sea-worn black volcanic rocks. Also at the stop, you can see the bizarre and otherworldly basalt column wall.
Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of the much larger icecap of Myrdalsjokull. Your group will take a 20-minute walk to reach Solheimajokull. Glacial melting has left behind interesting features such as moraine, big boulders of rock  and a small glacier lagoon. The beautiful color of the ice is ever-changing. The vast grandeur of the area gives you a glimpse of the landscape-changing power these mighty glaciers have wielded over the years.
The last stop is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famous for the walking path leading around and behind the waterfall (bring a raincoat). The water that feeds this waterfall originates from the (in)famous Eyjafjallajokull glacier-capped volcano.

At the Base Camp your group will learn about all safety procedures. The guides will help you to put on a helmet and a harness. Your group is split into smaller parties of 6–7 people. The trips up and down take about 6 minutes each way, and the first ones to go down will be the first ones to go up.
You will spend about half an hour on the ground of the volcano, during which time you can take as many photos as you want. However, you are not allowed to take rocks and stones from the crater. Expert guides will be with you at all times.
When you are back on the surface, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Icelandic meat soup or vegetable soup and hot coffee/tea/chocolate.
Finally, you will walk back over the lava field with the guide. The bus will be waiting for you, ready to drive you back to Reykjavík.

Nowhere else in Iceland is there a better chance to see two of the ocean’s top predators, sperm whales and orcas, than along the Snaefellsnes Peninsula coastline.
If you are traveling around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Olafsvik is a perfect place to join a whale watching tour.
Sitting on the north end of the peninsula, the town is close to the bountiful waters of the clear North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of whale species feed.
This unique trip takes you into the waters around Snaefellsnes, where ocean giants swim in the shadow of the magnificent Snaefellsjokull Glacier. Nowhere else in Iceland is there a better chance to see toothed whales such as orcas, sperm whales, and pilot whales than along this beautiful coastline.
Orcas are most often seen in winter, spring, and early summer (February through early July), but there is a chance of seeing them all the way through the summer months.  Male sperm whales can be seen between about March and June (mostly) out in deeper water regularly and sometimes show up on trips later in the year also.
During late summer and into autumn we mostly see minke whales, humpback whales and white-beaked dolphins.
