Traverse the iconic Golden Circle, marvel at Gulfoss and Thingvellir, and explore the black sand beaches of Djúpalónssandur.

Perfect for experienced travelers seeking a relaxed yet immersive trip, the tour’s USP is its comprehensive route, bringing together Iceland’s most iconic sights and hidden gems in one unforgettable package.

day 1 - Reykjavik (arrival)

Welcome to Iceland! Upon arrival at Keflavik International Airport, you will be transferred to your hotel by the Flybus Shuttle Bus for check-in. Depending on your time of arrival, spend the day at leisure to explore the city at your own pace. Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler of Iceland, built his farm on the peninsula where Reykjavík stands today. The town earned its name “Smokey Bay” after columns of steam rose from the hot springs and made a deep impression on the first settlers. Reykjavik offers a wide range of restaurants and coffee houses, making dinner a great way to get better acquainted with Iceland’s capital.

Overnight in Reykjavík

day 2 - The Golden Circle & South Coast

The day starts with a pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavík. First, we will head out to explore the famous Golden Circle, which includes Þingvellir National Park where Icelanders founded their parliament in the year 930 A.D., the oldest parliament in the world. The Circle includes Geysir hot springs and Gullfoss waterfall. Next, we will drive to the beautiful South Coast. Our first stop is at Seljalandsfoss, a unique opportunity to experience the power and wonder of nature. Don't view this one from a distance – the walking path will take you directly behind the waterfall itself. Next, we will stop at the scenic Skógafoss, where the water crashes down over sea cliffs that marked the coastline of Iceland long ago. Watch out for rainbows – the incredible spray from this waterfall makes it an ideal spot to catch one or even two at a time! The final stop of the day is at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, the home of the famous Reynisdrangar peaks, rumoured to be the figures of two trolls caught in the sun and turned to stone, and a basalt column cave. After that, we will make our way to a country hotel near the charming village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, where we will rest for the night.

Overnight in Kirkjubaerklaustur

day 3 - Kirkjubaejarklaustur - Skaftafell - JÖkulsÁrlÓn Glacier Lagoon

The journey continues along the South coast in the direction of Skaftafell and Vatnajökull National Park. Then we will explore a little further Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon where we can expect to see floating icebergs and the occasional frolicking seal. Beside the glacier lake, we will find another black sand crystal beach, which is usually filled with clear icebergs that have floated back to shore. For the evening, we will lay our heads in accommodations in the pleasant seaside town of Höfn.

Overnight in Hofn

day 4 - Hofn - East Fjords – Hengifoss – Egilsstadir

The scenery continues as we follow the coastline of the East Fjords to Egilsstaðir, a picturesque town on the banks of the Lagarfljót River. On the way there, we will go for a 3-hour hike to Hengifoss, one of the highest waterfalls in Iceland which drops into a striking gorge. Next is Litlanesfoss waterfall – look for the red strata climbing the walls around the waterfall, created by volcanic ash and basaltic lava over thousands of years as the cliff was formed in the heat of many mighty eruptions. We will then make our way to our accommodation for the night.

Overnight in Egilsstaðir

day 5 - Egilsstadir – Dettifoss - Lake MÝvatn - Akureyri

This day is filled with highlights of Iceland. Our first stop is at the magnificent Dettifoss, the largest waterfall in Iceland. Next, we head to the Lake Mývatn area. Here our first stop will be Námaskarð geothermal area, filled with mud pools and fumaroles, which are an interesting geological feature marking a vent for steam and hot gasses in the Earth´s crust. We'll then make a stop at Mývatn Nature Baths, where you have the opportunity to bath in the hot spring pools. The entrance fee can be added when booking or paid on site. For those that don't wish to go in the water, they can stroll around the area and enjoy the views or sit down in the cafeteria. Next up, we will take a walk to the Hverfjall crater, caused by a volcano eruption 2500 years ago, and Dimmuborgir, the “dark cities” of lava formations that tower overhead. We will continue our drive around Lake Mývatn before heading in the direction of Akureyri, with a stop on the way at Goðafoss Waterfall. Our accommodation will be at an inviting country hotel near Akureyri, the capital of the North.

Overnight in Akureyri

day 6 - Akureyri – Dalvik - SiglufjÖrÐur -trÖllaskagi – Laugarbakki

We will start the day by exploring the town of Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. Then, we will drive to the neighbouring town of Dalvík. Next, we will travel the Tröllaskagi Peninsula, which will take us through a couple of fishing hamlets before we stop in the cosy village of Siglufjörður. Thereafter, we will head to West Iceland, where we will spend the night in a hotel in Laugarbakki, a small village.

Overnight in Laugarbakki

day 7 - Laugarbakki - BorgarfjÖrÐur - Borgarnes

On this, our final day, we will find ourselves in West Iceland – an area which Lonely Planet voted as one of the best destinations in 2016. Borgarfjörður has many splendid sights, and we will focus on these today. We stop at Deildartunguhver hot spring, the legendary waterfall, Barnafoss, (the Children´s Waterfall), and the Hraunfossarcascade, the atmospheric very low and wide falls where the water emerges, literally straight out of the lava field. Next on the agenda is the historic and picturesque site of Reykholt, home to Snorri Sturluson, the Icelandic historian, lawyer, politician, poet and the author of some Icelandic Sagas. See Snorralaug, Snorri´s pool, dabble your fingers and feel the temperature of the water in the place where Snorri is likely to have bathed!

Overnight in Borgarnes

day 8 - Borgarnes - Snaefellsnes Peninsula - ReykjavÍk

On this day you'll be picked up at 9:15-9:45 am, after you have had breakfast and check out of the hotel. You will explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula on this day, the first stop of the day is the charming coastal village of Arnarstapi and Hellnar, where you have the chance of having lunch before we head into the Snæfellsnes National Park. There you can upgrade to 8000-year-old Vatnshellir lava cave tour or wander around the area with views of Snæfellsjökull glacier. Next up is the magnificent Djúpalónssandur beach, where you can find boat wreckage and \"the lifting stones\", where fisherman measured their strength. The last main stop of the day is at Mt. Kirkjufell, which is probably the most photographed mountain in Iceland. In the evening, we'll drop you off at your hotel in Reykjavík.

Overnight in Reykjavik
