Description

Discover Iceland's stunning landscapes on a private Silver Circle tour that includes a rejuvenating dip in the Krauma Geothermal Baths. You'll begin your adventure with hotel pickup in Reykjavik, then head to Thingvellir National Park, where you can walk between tectonic plates. Dive into the soothing waters of the Krauma Baths for 90 minutes, surrounded by vibrant nature. Visit the roaring Deildartunguhver hot spring and enjoy the picturesque Hraunfossar waterfalls. This private experience allows you to explore at your own pace while escaping the crowds of the Blue Lagoon. Bring your own swimwear and prepare for an unforgettable day of natural wonder.

This version of the Silver Circle adds one of the most satisfying experiences in Iceland: bathing in geothermal water at the exact place it comes out of the earth.The tour follows the full Silver Circle route — Þingvellir, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, Húsafell — and extends the stop at Deildartunguhver to include 90 minutes at Krauma Geothermal Baths, located directly beside the hot spring. Here is what makes this pairing work: at Deildartunguhver, your guide explains that 180 litres of 97°C water surge from this single spring every second, and that this water feeds the pools at Krauma — five minutes away. Guests move from the raw spectacle of the spring directly into its water. That is not a coincidence. That is the design.Krauma has six geothermally heated pools at various temperatures, a cold plunge, a steam room, and relaxation spaces with views of the surrounding landscape. Ninety minutes is enough to properly enjoy it — warm up, cool down, and settle in before the drive back to Reykjavik.

No Blue Lagoon pricing. No Blue Lagoon crowds. Same geology. Bring swimwear and a towel. Krauma provides rental towels and robes if needed. Minimum age 4+.
