Highlights
Follow the scenic Golden Circle, visiting geothermal springs, colourful geysers and the mighty waterfall of Gullfoss.
Drive along the island’s spectacular South Shore, past the Reynisdrangar Rocks and volcanic black sand beaches.
Head to Skaftafell National Park and get adventurous with a hike to Vatnajokull – Europe's largest glacier!
Try to spot the Aurora Borealis – the best lightshow on Earth! Stay up late to see the northern sky dance with green light (subject to weather conditions and activity), with a local leader by your side to help you get the best opportunities.
Wander around the arts and dining scene of Reykjavik – you'll walk around the city's old harbour and the famous Hallgrimskirkja church of Iceland's capital with your leader. Then, maybe check out the music scene or hang out at the pub.

day 1Reykjavik
Hallo! Welcome to Iceland. The world's northernmost capital of Reykjavik lies just below the Arctic Circle. The city sees around four hours of sunlight a day in winter and 22 hours or more in summer. Surrounded by volcanic peaks and crystalline ocean, and boasting a vibrant arts and nightlife scene, Reykjavik's contrasts are utterly beguiling. Why not arrive early and head to the National Museum, which depicts the history of Iceland from the 9th century, when the first Vikings from mainland Scandinavia arrived and settled, to the present day, or join locals who gossip and chatter in the Laugardalslaug Geothermal Pool.

Excellent compact tour of Iceland
What an excellent tour! I was with my 81 year old grandmother and we both loved it.
Outstanding experience: a tour not to be missed!
We loved the tour: it was very well organized, with a complete and exciting itinerary, that included not only the main attractions but also not touristic and really valuable activities. This wouldn’t have been possible without our tour guide Loftur: extremely knowledgeable and very fun, he was able to adapt the itinerary to any weather condition or preference and the result was simply great. He was also able to connect us with the Icelandic great culture. Highly recommended!
