7 days in Iceland: Our Recommendations

What could be better than a week-long Iceland itinerary that combines a walking tour of its capital with a multitude of other fantastic destinations? That is exactly what is on offer during this tour. Starting and ending in Reykjavik, this trip gives you the opportunity to discover the magical Golden Circle then continues to travel through the south coast to Skaftafell National Park and the otherworldly black-sand beaches of Vik. See tour.

There is perhaps a no better way of exploring Iceland than on foot, at the pace of birds and butterflies. This seven-day tour in Iceland lets you do just that, with a series of hikes that allow you to take in some of the best destinations in the south of the island. Hiking through the most popular trails in the country, you have the opportunity to explore lava fields, glaciers, waterfalls, and woodland. Well-organized and planned to ensure that the hiking never becomes overly strenuous, this tour provides a unique insight into Iceland’s famed landscapes at a relaxed pace. See tour.

We do not think you could ever want more from a one-week stay in Iceland than what this tour delivers. Take in the highlights of the island’s Golden Circle and travel through its ring road. An essential lifeline for remote villages formerly reached only by sea, the ring road also links together Iceland’s most-loved sites. Explore Vatnajokull National Park and Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon, then it is the fjords and the highlands that will capture your attention, alongside some of Europe’s most impressive glaciers and waterfalls.
