Reykjavik: Golden Circle Private Tour with Hvammsvik Hot Springs
Selfoss
About
Hvammsvik Hot Springs - the Golden Circle's best-kept secret ending. Named Best Thing to Do in the World by Time Out 2023. Eight natural pools on the Atlantic edge of Hvalfjörður fjord. Most Golden Circle tours end at a car park. This one ends in the ocean. Your day, your pace. Stay longer where it matters. Your guide, your vehicle, your group - no compromises.
Two stops most visitors never see. Faxafoss (the wide, crowd-free waterfall on the Tungufljót) and Hvammsvik. Most visitors leave Iceland without either.
A private guide, not a driver with a script. Deep knowledge of Iceland's history, culture, and landscape at every stop. Ask questions, go deeper, follow your curiosity.
