Highlights
Discover Reykjavík
Visit Akranes Folk Museum, the 'Golden Circle' - Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Hot Spring Area and Thingvellir National Park and the geothermal Icelandic Lagoon
See Hvalfjörður (Whale Bay), Grundarfjörður Fishing Village, Lake Kleifarvatn and Krýsuvík
Reykjavik: Discover local artists at this iconic hotel, located in the heart of the capital. Learn how spellbinding mythology and Icelandic nature inspire the art dotted throughout the hotel.
Reykjavik: Witness one of nature’s most unforgettable displays as you travel into the Icelandic night in search of the Northern Lights. You’ll journey to areas with optimal viewing conditions for watching the aurora glow green, white and – if you’re extra lucky – pink and violet above the dark winter plains. As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, sadly, experiencing their magic on your trip isn’t guaranteed. But with clear skies, a little luck and local knowledge, you may be in for a treat.
Thingvellir National Park: In this UNESCO-listed national park you’ll see first-hand how the movements of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates have carved into the Earth's crust, and explore the Parliament Plains, where Iceland’s early leaders gathered from 930 AD. The visit brings together volcanic scenery, cultural heritage and the stories that built the Icelandic nation.
Gullfoss Falls: Marvel at the impressive beauty and magnitude of the 'Golden Waterfall' of Gullfoss, so called for the golden hue of its waters in the sunshine. You’ll learn about its history, including how it was saved at the turn of the last century by the tenacity of a farmer's daughter, who threatened to throw herself into its depths if it was developed for hydroelectric power.
Strokkur: Witness Iceland’s geothermal power at Strokkur, one of the country’s most active geysers. Watch as the earth bubbles, steams and suddenly erupts, sending a burst of hot water high into the air. Set in the Geysir hot spring area, this natural spectacle gives you a close-up look at the volcanic forces continually shaping Iceland’s landscapes.
Fridheimar: Discover Icelandic ingenuity at Friðheimar, a family-run greenhouse where natural geothermal heat is harnessed to grow fresh produce year-round. Learn more about sustainable energy and clever growing techniques as you warm up in the greenhouse’s Mediterranean climate, and meet the elegant Icelandic horses bred on the estate.
Vik: Journey to Iceland’s most famous crater, a striking volcanic caldera filled with vivid blue-green water. Formed thousands of years ago, its steep red slopes and moss-covered edges create one of the Golden Circle’s most colourful natural sights. You'll walk around the rim for wide views across the surrounding landscape.
Journey into your second UNESCO-listed national park: Vatnajökull, home to Europe’s largest glacier and some of Iceland’s most powerful scenery. See landscapes sculpted by ice, volcanic fire and shifting weather, from glacier tongues to sweeping black sand plains.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: Watch icebergs drift across the bright blue waters of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most unforgettable natural sights. Broken from the nearby glacier, these floating sculptures shift and sparkle as they make their way towards the sea. Pause by the lagoon for wide-open views and a closer look at Iceland’s ever-changing glacial landscapes.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: Step onto a beach where fragments of glacier rest and sparkle on black volcanic sand. Washed ashore from nearby Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, these stunning pieces of ice create one of Iceland’s most unique views. Watch the waves shift the scene moment by moment as you take in this awe-inspiring coastline.
Skogar: Stand before one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls as it plunges from the cliffs in a curtain of spray. Feel the force of the water, watch for rainbows in the mist and enjoy the wide-open scenery that surrounds it.
Seljalandsfoss: Walk to one of Iceland’s most distinctive waterfalls, where water tumbles from the cliffs into the pool below. Take in the spray, sound and scale of Seljalandsfoss as it frames the wild volcanic scenery of the South Coast.
Travel through landscapes watched over by Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull, two of Iceland’s most famous volcanoes. Admire their snow-dusted slopes from afar as you travel through an area known for stunning views that reveal the island’s powerful geology.
Reykjavik: Explore the world’s northernmost capital in more detail with your Travel Director. You’ll learn about Icelandic culture, creativity and coastal life as you visit landmarks from The Sun Voyager sculpture on the waterfront and Harpa Concert Hall’s striking glass facade to the colourful Old Harbour. You’ll also enjoy the peace of Tjörnin lake and the hilltop church Hallgrímskirkja, Perlan nature museum with its 360-degree panoramic views of the city, and the lively shopping street Laugavegur.
Blue Lagoon: Soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most iconic geothermal spas. Surrounded by black lava fields and clouds of steam, you’ll experience the island’s volcanic energy in a deeply relaxing way. Let the milky-blue waters and striking scenery create a soothing final moment on your Icelandic journey.
Selfoss: Join local storyteller Ásta Kristrún Ragnarsdóttir for insights into her family history and an exclusive Be My Guest meal. Alongside delicious local food, you’ll be treated to Icelandic stories, poetry and learn more about the Island’s heritage.
Hellisheidavirkjun: Experience first-hand how green, sustainable energy is produced at Iceland’s newest geothermal heat and power station in Hellisheiði. Learn how pressurised water, heated to over 300°C (570°F) underground, generates electricity and heat. Discover why Iceland leads the world in renewable energy use and climate innovation, protecting nature while powering everyday life. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action.
