day 1 - Arrival, Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík City

You will arrive at KEF International Airport, where your private driver will be waiting for you in the arrival hall. Your trip will start by traveling through the landscape of the Reykjanes Peninsula, driving alongside moss-covered lava fields surrounded by steaming hot springs and active volcanoes.

Then, you will visit to the famous Blue Lagoon, where you will soothe in the hot, silica-rich geothermal water. With a premium entry, you benefit from some extra features like a bathrobe, face mask, and a complimentary drink. A true jet lag cure! After spending around a good amount of time in the Blue Lagoon, your private driver will drive you to the capital of Reykjavík, where you will have the chance to explore the city on your own for the rest of the day and relax before your journey out of town in the next few days.

Experience truly amazing views of the colorful underwater landscape, marine life and geological formations. On this first day of venturing onto your ring road adventure, you will explore one of Iceland's most popular travel routes, called the Golden Circle.

The route has three main attractions: Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. After a day of adventures, the perfect way to complete the day is to go outside on location and wait for the

Today, after breakfast, you will travel along an ancient seabed by rugged mountains under glacier ice caps, rugged mountains, black sand desserts, moss-covered lava fields, and unique gorges and canyons. The diversity of breathtaking landscapes on the South Coast, shaped by massive glaciers and active volcanos, will most certainly leave you in awe of the power of nature.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
