Feel Iceland’s power on a journey through volcanic landscapes, Viking heritage and geothermal wonders.

See where tectonic plates divide in Þingvellir National Park and share stories with locals over a Be My Guest experience. From Reykjavík to Reykjanes, every day reveals another side to this captivating island.
day 1 - Welcome to Reykjavk Stays With Stories
Your epic journey through lush lava fields and the windswept landscapes of Iceland begins in the quirky capital of Reykjavk. The northernmost capital of the world seems infused with vivid colour, from the bustling byway of Laugavegur to the enthusiasm of the city's friendly locals. Spend time exploring Iceland's Viking heritage, pay tribute to the sun and snap a selfie in front of The Sun Voyager or stroll around the lively Old Harbour, before meeting your Travel Director and fellow travellers for a drink and Canapes to kick-start your love affair with Iceland.

Accommodation:Grand
day 2 - Journey to Reykholt and on to Borgarnes
Explore the small capital city of Reykjavk on a sightseeing tour with your Travel Director this morning. View all the city's major attractions including the Parliament, the Harpa Concert Hall, and the city's main landmark, the Hallgrmskirkja Church, perched at the top of a hill in the heart of the city. Leave the city behind and travel through the undersea tunnel Hvalfjrr to Akranes, whose local Folk Museum you visit before enjoying views of the rugged coastline from the town's lighthouse. View Deildartunguhver, Europe's highest-flowing hot spring, followed by a visit to Reykholt, famously the former 13th-century home of one of Iceland's most loved authors, Snorri Sturluson. Nature takes centre stage this afternoon, when you view Hraunfoss and nearby Barnafoss, both beautiful waterfalls in their own right and a soul-stirring way to end your day.
Bundle up warmly as you make your way to the wild, sea-swept landscapes of the Snfellsnes Peninsula. You'll soon discover why it's fondly called 'Iceland in miniature', revealing glaciers, waterfalls, lava fields and volcanic peaks all along this compact stretch of coast. Watch for seals basking on black sand beaches and admire the fairy-tale mountain of Kirkjufell that rises like a spire beside the sea. Return to Borgarnes for a relaxed evening at leisure. Perhaps take a stroll along the town's peaceful waterfront promenade, visit the Settlement Centre to uncover Viking history or simply unwind with a hot drink while soaking up views of the fjord.
day 4 - Onwards through Thingvellir National Park to Gullfoss, Geysir and Selfoss Connect with Locals
As you travel around Iceland's 'Golden Circle', Mother Nature's magic touch can be seen around every turn. Visit the 'Golden Waterfall' of Gullfoss, 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. Then, head to the world-famous hot spring area of Geysir and see Strokkur shoot a spectacular plume of water and steam high into the air. You'll see first-hand how the movements of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates have carved into the Earth's crust, in the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park. This evening, Connect With Locals with a local storyteller and her songwriter husband, and delve into their colourful family history, then join them for dinner at an exclusive Be My Guest experience. Continue to Selfoss later, where you'll stay overnight.

The travel director missed sending me a lot of details and information I should know ahead of time. He emailed the rest of the group the details except me.

I feel like the optional experiences were overrated and, for what and where they were, could have just been included in the overall price and worked into the itinerary. Also, the Blue Lagoon day should be incorporated into Day 1, or as a day from airport arrival excursion since you can’t check into the hotel until later and could use a relaxing experience after air travel and avoid wet clothes for the return trip home. Also the Hotel in Reykjavik should be more centralized in the downtown area to allow for independent pedestrian exploration. Included food experiences need serious improvement. Iceland has great restaurants, but there was no option including them. I like to have a choice of what I am eating. The Be My Guest event was a bust. Other Trafalgar trips I have taken have been enhanced by this experience, but this trip needs to arrange for someone or somewhere else that understands that travelers have paid serious money to be there and to also appreciate that. All this said, the Tour Guide / Motor Coach was great and the main reason you go to Iceland is for the geographical experience and the Aurora Borealis, and Iceland did not disappoint!! The island is breathtaking and Reykjavik is a splendid city!

Iceland is a beautiful country full of surprises. I had a couple of high points one of which was our visit to the geothermal plant. The young lady who gave us the information was probably one of the best speakers I’ve ever seen. I was also taken by the number of natural. Wonders in the country. I can’t remember a time when simply driving down the road and looking at the side you could see steam rising from natural areas. I think if I were to return to Iceland, it would be during the summer so that the days would be a bit long And the temperature a bit warmer. I had a great time. Iceland is a wonderful country.
