When you visit the famous Blue Lagoon, the geothermal spa from Reykjavik, then it is an excellent idea to visit other attractions on the peninsula in one private full day tour, taking 8-9 hours.
But if you prefer different setup at Reykjanes peninsula you can select below other type of tour:
The surroundings when bathing in the Blue Lagoon is other worldly, being in the middle of a 800 years old lava field, and now close to the new lava from recent eruptions. It is one of the world most famous attraction, an incredible experience.
The Blue Lagoon is ranked as one of 12 best hot springs in the world according to Travel+Leisure
The warm water (37° C to 40° C) is a geothermal seawater which originates at 2000 meters below surface of the earth. When flowing to the earth surface due to pressure as wet steam, it includes substances like silica, algae, and some minerals which are all proved to have positive impact for your skin.

Unforgettable shore excursion in Iceland. This half day tour is an excellent choice if you have limited time in Iceland.
The Golden Circle classic day tour links some of the country’s most impressive natural attractions, such as Gullfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir in one day. It certainly can be done in half day if we organize the itinerary differently and with shorter stops at all the attractions.
This first stop is usually Thingvellir National park, which is an interesting place both from a geological point, but also historically. Geology is very special as Thingvellir is situated on the tectonic plate boundaries. You literally see how the two tectonic plates separate North America and Europe. The fissures have been moving apart at the rate of 2 centimeters every year which gives the fissure spectacular appearance. Here you will also see the amazing clear glacier water which can be found in some fissures which opened in a earthquake in the year 1789. Thingvellir is UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Historically, the world first parliament was founded there in the year 930 AD, also known as "Althing". Althingi General Assembly continued to convene there until 1798 when it was moved to Reykjavik. In the eyes of Icelanders this place is a national shrine and is protected area by law since 1928.
The Golden Circle classic trip will take you to the most beautiful Waterfall in Iceland named Gullfoss (translated Golden waterfall). From Gullfoss we will go to the bubbling geothermal hot springs at Geysir area. You will see the hot spring Strokkur spouting hot water 30 meters (100ft) into the air every 5-10 minutes interval.
