Highlights

Reykjavik: Witness nature's most spectacular light show, the Aurora Borealis.

Skogafoss: Visit Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, two south coast waterfalls shaped by rivers dropping from Iceland’s interior. Each fall offers a different profile, with water plunging over former sea cliffs and cutting into the rock below, illustrating how glacial meltwater and changing coastlines have formed this section of the island.

Hvolsvollur: See the magnificent volcanoes of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull.  

Hvolsvollur: Visit the Lava Centre, an interactive museum where you will learn about the geology and natural occurrences that have influenced and created Iceland's incredible landscapes.

Gullfoss Falls: See Gullfoss, where the glacial-fed Hvítá River drops in two stages into a rugged canyon, sending spray into the air as the water cuts through layers of rock. The falls sit at the heart of the Golden Circle and show the force of Iceland’s meltwater rivers, especially when seasonal flow increases.

Geysir: Visit the famous spouting Geysir which has become synonymous with hot springs all around the world.

Thingvellir National Park: The Parliamentary Plains are the most important historic site in the country, as the meeting place of the Althing, the world's oldest parliament that was founded in A.D. 930.

Reykjavik: Enjoy views of the Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls as you drive through glorious landscapes.

Reykjavik: Explore the city. See the old town centre, the parliament building, Höfði House, the colourful harbour and the Hallgrímskirkja.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
