I thought the trip was great! We saw a lot, including puffins, waterfalls, geysers, and lots of animals. We also learned a lot about Iceland. I was lucky to have a good group too.
Get ready to explore a land of fire and ice as you journey through Iceland’s most extraordinary landscapes on this unforgettable self-drive adventure! Begin in Reykjavik, the quirky and colorful capital, where steamy hot springs and thundering waterfalls set the stage for what’s to come. Venture along the Reykjanes Peninsula to Hveragerdi, the “Town of Hot Springs,” nestled amid steaming earth and bubbling geothermal wonders. Continue your adventure to the South Coast, where the misty beauty of Seljalandsfoss and the raw power of Skogafoss Waterfalls will leave you awestruck. Witness the mighty Eyjafjallajökull Glacier and drive through the black-sand beaches of Vik en route to Skaftafell National Park — a glacier-filled paradise with incredible hiking trails and stunning vistas. Head west toward Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where tectonic plates drift apart and history runs deep. Visit the surreal Hraunfossar and Barnafoss Waterfalls and stop at Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Next, the wild beauty of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula awaits — with its dramatic sea cliffs, lava fields, quaint fishing villages, and rich marine life. Wrap up your journey with a visit to the famous Blue Lagoon, where you can soak in soothing geothermal waters surrounded by lava fields. Finally, return to Reykjavik, your heart full of memories and your camera packed with Iceland’s natural wonders.
