Itinerary
Day 1
Reykjavik
Welcome to Iceland! Your adventure begins. Once you're transferred from the airport to your hotel via private transfer, the rest of the day is yours to explore!
Day 2
Heading to Hella & the Blue Lagoon
Reykjavik - Reykjanes Peninsula - Blue Lagoon - Hella. Your morning starts with an included tour of Reykjavik, Iceland's charming capital. From there, you will head out of the city to the breath-taking Reykjanes Peninsula. Think quaint fishing villages, hot springs, and striking mountains. Now, you're headed for Hella, but not without a rejuvenating stop at the Blue Lagoon. Entrance is included, and a towel will be provided for you - don't forget your swimsuit!
Don't worry, you'll reach your accommodation before darkness falls. And once it does, you can head out to the garden and wait for the Northern Lights to appear.
Day 3
Grumbling glaciers and roaring falls
Hella - Eyjafjallajokull - Skogafoss - Hella. Today is about the sheer force of nature's power - what makes Iceland, Iceland. The rumbling volcano of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The plunging Seljalandsfoss and thundering Skógafoss waterfalls. Later, there's an optional hike on the shimmering Solheimajokull glacier where you can take in the enchanting icy scenery.
Please note: This optional hike must be booked in advance. Contact us to book.
If you didn’t book the glacier hike, the tour continues further south where you can stroll on the black lava beach and see the amazing bird cliffs at Reynisfjara near Vík. You will not visit Reynisfjara if you opt for the glacier walk.
You will be back in Hella before it gets dark. Enjoy a second chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights - keep your eyes peeled!
Day 4
Geysers and Gullfoss on the Golden Circle
Hella - Golden Circle - Reykjavik. This morning, you will start the journey back to Reykjavik via the breath-taking Golden Circle. Along the way, you'll see bubbling hot springs and geysers at the Geysir geothermal greenhouse. Its famous Strokkur geyser erupts every 10 minutes - don't miss it!
Further inland, you'll pass the mighty Gullfoss waterfall and through the rugged Thingvellir National Park.
This once-in-a-lifetime drive ends in Reykjavik. Once you're checked in, your final evening is free for you to explore.
Please note: For groups of 10 travellers or more, an additional excursion is included today - you will visit a geothermal greenhouse and meet the sturdy Icelandic horse. Smaller groups can add this activity for a fee - please contact us to book.
Day 5
Reykjavik to home
And just like that, your tour comes to an end. Enjoy your final morning in Iceland however you wish, before your private transfer to the airport. We're sure you'll be back soon.
