Short summary for this overnight tour

STOP 1 : SELJALANDFOSS WATERFALL
The first stop on the tour is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall. If you’re feeling adventurous be sure to walk the steep staircase to view the gorgeous waterfall from behind. This is also a great photo opportunity!
At 65 meters high, this waterfall has breathtaking views of roaring glacier waters and the birds that call this place home.
And do be sure to bring along your raincoat if you plan to venture behind this waterfall! The mist coming from the falling water is sure to wet your clothes through, but this is also a great way to create a rainbow effect so keep an eye out.
STOP 2 : SKOGAFOSS WATERFALL
The next stop along this tour is Skogafoss, only a mere 30 kilometers from Seljalandsfoss right off the main Ring Road. At a whoping 60 meters high and 25 meters wide, you can feel the power.
You will have the choice to walk up close and personal or take the 60 meter staircase to the top and view the falls from above. Either way, you are sure to get some amazing views. If you choose the up-close option, be sure to protect yourself and your camera from the massive mist cloud that forms at the bottom of the waterfall.
Also here, you will see the many bird species flying around and nesting in the cliffs, but also you may see a stray sheep or two that can wander over from the nearby farm.
STOP 3 : REYNISFJARA BLACK SAND BEACH
Moving away from the waterfalls, the tour will make it’s way further down the coast to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach located in the small coastal town, Vik. Known for it’s black colored sand and ginormous basalt stacks, you are sure to get an amazing photo here.
Though you may not first think of Iceland when you think of going to the beach, in 1991, National Geographic voted Reynisfjara as one of the Top 10 non-tropical beaches to visit on Earth.
It is not hard to notice the rocky basalt sea stacks, named Reynisdrangar. Just around the corner from here you can view more ragged edged cave like areas where the high tide water used to rush in. Please be aware of the strong current and the waves most referred to as “sneaker waves” which is a nod to their ability to rush in out of nowhere knocking people to the ground.
STOP 4: SLEEPING IN A BUBBLE
Our last stop will be at the bubbles where you will spend the night. All the bubbles are transparent, which means if the Aurora is dancing you will have a private show.
For our South Coast tour we will have all 6x bubbles, which are all fully transparent and nearly identical. No need to select because all guests will get the same type of bubble.
All bubbles are located a short walking distance from our service house, which contains WC and showers.
Disclaimer: Please be advised, the Bubble Hotel location for the South Coast tour is set upon a steep hill.

Golden Circle tour
Short summary for this overnight Iceland tour
Tour pickup at 12:00 (PM) from chosen location in Reykjavik. Checkout the next morning at 8:30 (AM) with arrival back in Reykjavik around 10:30 (AM) the morning after. All timing is subject to change on this Golden Circle Iceland tour.
STOP 1 : THINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK
Our first stop is Thingvellir National Park. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and the most significant place regarding Icelandic history. The name Thingvellir in Icelandic means “Parliament Fields”.
The general assembly, the Althing was established here in 930 AD making it one of the oldest parliaments in the world. Thingvellir is also known for its geology and has been a protected area since 1928.
Thingvellir is amongst the very few places on Earth where you can observe a continental drift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
STOP 2 : GEYSER HOT SPRING
Our next stop on this Golden Circle Iceland tour is the famous Geysir hot spring area. It is located in the geothermally active valley Haukadalur. Today the most active is Strokkur, an energetic spouting hot spring, which goes up every 5 minutes or so.
The white column of boiling water forms a beautiful half bubble before it goes up as a super-heated steaming water. It can reach the height of 15-30 m (60-90 feet). Strokkur (the churn) was formed in an earthquake in the year of 1789.
Other interesting hot springs are Blesi and Fata, the former are two large basins separated by the ”blaze” but connected to it is Fata. We also have Konungshver named after King Christian IX king from Denmark.
STOP 3 : GULLFOSS WATERFALL
Our next stop is Gullfoss waterfall, one of the most popular tourist attractions on this Golden Circle Iceland tour. It runs down the river Hvítá into beautiful curved three step “staircase”!
It is a very powerful experience to walk close to the waterfall on the west side as on average we have 140 cubic meters per second (80 in winter) falling down the staircases.
When you arrive at Gullfoss parking area, the edge can’t be seen, so it appears as the earth is simply absorbing the waterfall.
STOP 4 : RELAXING IN SECRET LAGOON
Our next stop is in the Secret Lagoon at Fludir. It is a unique natural hot spring and the oldest swimming pool in Iceland (made in 1891). Its temperature is perfect and the water holds at 38-40 Celsius (100-104 Fahrenheit) all year around.
When done bathing, enjoy the beautiful landscape- see the natural geysirs heating the lagoon and the nearby greenhouse.
STOP 5: SLEEPING IN A BUBBLE
Our last visit will be at a bubble for a night stay. All the bubbles are transparent, so if the aurora is dancing you will have a private show.
We will have all 9x bubbles fully transparent and exactly same. No need to select because all guests will get same type of bubble.
All bubbles are located a short walking distance from our service house, which contains two toilets, two showers, and a self-service kitchen.
