Golden Circle and Kerid with Blue Lagoon Comfort: Towel, Mask and a Drink

Everything is paid for before you leave: every admission on the route, the Blue Lagoon included. Nothing to buy at the gate. The Blue Lagoon ticket is the Comfort admission, which means more than entry. A towel to use, one silica mud mask, and one non-alcoholic drink of your choice come with it. Þingvellir starts the day, a UNESCO World Heritage Site listed for its nature and its history together, and the place where the American and Eurasian plates meet closely enough to stand with a foot on each. Laugarvatn sits beside its lake in geothermal ground, where the steam is used to bake rye bread in the earth. At Geysir, the neighbour does the work: Strokkur erupts up to 30 metres every few minutes. Food and drink can be bought there, up to a full lunch. Gullfoss follows, then Kerið, a crater 3,000 years old and 55 metres deep. The drive to the Blue Lagoon crosses the Reykjanes peninsula, past lava fields and cone volcanoes with the Atlantic behind them. The group stays small.
