Itinerary
Day 1
Reykjavík
Hotel accommodation in Iceland is very limited and rooms/facilities can be fairly simple with few amenities. Hotels are chosen for their location and access to the wondrous landscapes and natural wonders of Iceland. Hotels are often remote, all the better to enjoy the beautiful natural setting.
Day 2
Reykjavík
Our travel time today includes our many stops along the way.
Day 3
Hveragerði
Set off on a hike through an area dotted with hot springs, stopping to soak your feet in steaming pools along the way. Travel to a vast lava field and enter one of the longest lava tunnels in Iceland, where we’ll explore the amazing inner workings of a volcanic eruption. Then head to a traditional Icelandic horse farm to meet the friendly equine residents and learn about this special breed. Icelandic horses are small, hardy, and have a unique ambling gait called the tölt. Get to know the horses amid the beautiful backdrop of surrounding hills before gathering for a homemade lunch at the farm. This afternoon, continue to our hotel in Hveragerði, a town built around its own bubbling hot spring.
Day 4
Golden Circle
Our travel time today includes our many stops along the way.
Day 5

Day 6
Westman Islands/Vík
Leave the mainland behind and voyage to the Westman Islands, a volcanic archipelago off Iceland’s southern coast. Go ashore on Heimaey, the only inhabited isle in the archipelago, and wander among the white wooden buildings of the single tiny town. Learn about the island’s recent volcanic history, view parts of the town buried by lava flows, and hike up the slopes of the Eldfell crater, where the ground is still warm from geothermal activity! Search for adorable puffins and other seabirds nesting on the island’s steep cliffs, then sail back to Vík—the southernmost village in Iceland, known for its black-sand beach and strange rock formations.

Customer reviews & ratings
I want to go back! A the logistics were handled allowing our family to focus on immersing ourselves in the trip. The guides also had a lot of cultural, historical, and environmental knowledge that they were able to share while driving the country side. The guides also shared regional folklore and legends in addition to teaching basics of the Icelandic language. All information we would have missed if we had not done a guided tour.
Bryan Aug, 2024 VerifiedAn epic vacation :) That all the logistical details were figured out for us and that the guides knowledge and humor added so much to the trip.
