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 — a brief stop in Borgarnes for views, then Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, Husafell — 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+.
The Silver Circle route + 90 minutes bathing in geothermal pools fed by Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Your guide shows you the source. Then you swim in it.
