Reykjavik - Reykjanes Peninsula - Blue Lagoon - Hella. This morning, we meet our tour guide and fellow travellers before exploring the highlights of Reykjavík, Iceland’s vibrant capital. We then travel to the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, geothermal activity, rugged coastline, lava fields and charming fishing villages.

In the afternoon, we visit the famous Blue Lagoon, where you can relax in its warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by Iceland’s unique volcanic scenery. We then continue along the south coast to Hella, where we stay for two nights. This evening, our guide will share information about the Northern Lights before we head outside to search for this spectacular natural phenomenon.

Hella - Eyjafjallajökull - Seljalandsfoss - Skógafoss - Reynisfjara - Hella. Today we explore Iceland’s dramatic south coast, travelling through the region beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Our first stop is the towering Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is 65 meters tall and plunges from the mountain. Next we visit the fascinating Skógar Folk Museum, before travelling on to one most country's most impressive natural wonders - the spectacular 62-meter high Skógafoss waterfall. This afternoon we continue south to Reynisfjara, Iceland’s famous black sand beach, where you can admire the dramatic coastline and bird cliffs near Vík. This evening, learn more about the Northern Lights before another opportunity to search the skies from the grounds of the hotel.

Hella - Golden Circle - Reykjavík. This morning, we learn about the Icelandic horse, its unique qualities and fascinating history, before visiting a geothermal greenhouse and discovering Iceland’s innovative use of natural energy. We then follow the famous Golden Circle route, witnessing the steaming geothermal landscapes of Geysir, including the active Strokkur geyser, and the impressive double waterfall of Gullfoss.

Our final stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s ancient Viking parliament was established and the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Return to Reykjavík for your final evening, with an optional Northern Lights cruise available (weather permitting).

And just like that, our tour comes to an end. Enjoy your final morning in Iceland however you wish, before your Flybus transfer to the airport. We're sure you'll be back soon.
