Itinerary
Discover Iceland over nine days on a scenic round-trip from Reykjavik, combining the country’s best-known sights with quieter, more remote corners. You’ll explore the Golden Circle, the South Coast and Vatnajokull National Park, with highlights including glacier hiking, Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The journey continues through the dramatic Eastfjords and North Iceland, where whale watching, volcanic landscapes and charming coastal towns add plenty of variety. In the final stretch, you’ll venture into the wild Westfjords for puffin cliffs, colourful beaches, waterfalls and fjord views, before returning to Reykjavik with a real feel for Iceland’s raw natural beauty.
day 1Travel to South Iceland via the Golden Circle
Reykjavik - The Golden Circle (Thingvellir National Park; Geysir Geothermal Area; Gullfoss Waterfall) - Seljalandsfoss Waterfall - Skogafoss Waterfall - Reynisfjara Beach - Kirkjubaejarklauster. After morning pick-up in Reykjavik, we head straight for the Golden Circle, Iceland’s best-known sightseeing route. Our first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where we can walk through a rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. We then continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where bubbling hot springs surround Strokkur, Iceland’s most active geyser. The final stop on the Golden Circle is Gullfoss, a powerful two-tiered waterfall that crashes into a deep canyon. From here, we join Route 1 and continue along the South Coast. We stop at Seljalandsfoss, where there is a path behind the waterfall if conditions allow. We then visit Skogafoss, known for its dramatic 60 metre drop and frequent rainbows in the spray. On clear days, glacier-capped mountains can be seen in the distance. Before the day ends, we visit Reynisfjara black-sand beach, famous for its basalt columns and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks just offshore. The beach is also known for strong sneaker waves, so extra care is needed near the water. Please note: We strongly recommend arriving in Reykjavik the day before your tour starts. Please also note that this tour includes a moderate amount of hiking to see attractions such as waterfalls. You should be comfortable hiking a distance of around 5km. Get in touch with our team should you have any concerns.
