Geysers, Glaciers & Waterfalls at a Leisurely Pace

Road Trips

Day 1

Once you have landed at Keflavík Airport, please pick up your luggage and head through customs. Collect your rental car at the airport and proceed to your hotel.
1.10 – 30.4: Drive to your hotel in Reykjavík, the colourful capital of Iceland. Overnight in Reykjavík. (Approximate distance: 50 km / 30 miles)
1.5 – 30.9: Drive along the southern coast of the Reykjanes Peninsula to the charming village of Hveragerði for your overnight stay. This village is one of the few sites in the world located directly on top of a geothermal area and, because of its many greenhouses heated by hot water from nearby springs, it is often called the “flower village.” There are plenty of outdoor and wellness activities to enjoy here, and several restaurants with a unique local focus. Overnight in Hveragerði. (Approximate distance: 100 km / 62 miles)
Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm).

Arrival in the Land of Fire and Ice

Day 2

Famous national park – Bubbling geysers – Golden waterfall
&nbsp;
Visit Þingvellir National Park, site of the ancient Icelandic Viking parliament and a jewel of nature. Here you can see the meeting point between the North American and Europe continents. Several walking trails take visitors to historical points of interest. If you enjoy adventure, you might try snorkelling in clear waters between two continents. Þingvellir sits near Þingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest lake.
Visit two other amazing sites of the Golden Circle, Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir hot spring area. Gullfoss is considered by many visitors to be Iceland’s most beautiful waterfall. Geysir is an active geothermal field with many bubbling steam vents and spouting hot springs, including the famous Strokkur geyser. If you enjoy adventure, you might try summertime white water rafting in the river running from Gullfoss.
A wonderful way to relax during the day is to visit the Fontana Steam Baths, the Secret Lagoon, or the Laugarás Lagoon. These places are a part of the area’s history and popular with both Icelanders and visitors.
A delightful culinary experience is a visit to the Efstidalur Dairy Farm. You can take a guided tour to learn about the farm and life on the farm, as well as try some of the home-made dairy treats like cheese, skyr and ice cream. The farm’s restaurant looks into the dairy barn, where you might get a glimpse of the cows who provide the milk for Efstidalur’s tasty treats.
Overnight in Hveragerði area.

The Golden Circle 

Day 3

Enjoy more of the Golden Circle and Þjórsárdalur valley
meet
Today is open for you to explore more of the area around the Golden Circle and South Iceland. Here are some suggestions.
May – September option: If you have a 4WD vehicle, you might enjoy visiting the Þjórsárdalur valley and its ever-changing landscapes of birch woods, sandy lava fields, rivers, and waterfalls. You’ll also see the impressive and beautiful Mt. Hekla volcano towering over the region. You can visit the site of a Viking age farm that was covered by lava from one of Hekla’s eruptions. A replica shows you how the longhouse looked (open during summer; admission not included). Game of Thrones fans might recognise some of the landscapes as locations used in Season 4 of the show. A short and easy hiking trail from Stöng leads to the enchantingly green landscapes of Gjáin canyon (summertime). The lava formations around the canyon are spectacular. Þjórsárdalur is also home to Háifoss, Iceland’s third highest waterfall, as well as the uniquely divided waterfall of Hjálparfoss.
You could opt to take the South Coast road to the charming coastal villages of Stokkseyri and Eyrarbakki, both with lovely old buildings and great seafood restaurants. You can visit unique museums like the historical homes at the Eyrarbakki Heritage Museum. At Stokkseyri you can also enjoy ATV safaris on the beach.
If you love local history, another option would be a guided tour of Laugarvatnshellir cave in the Golden Circle area (open June &#8211; August). This cavern was the cosy home of two Icelandic families during the early 20th century. Reconstructions show how the unique family homes looked.
You could also visit the charming Friðheimar greenhouse farm. At Friðheimar you can enjoy a tomato-based lunch in the greenhouse’s café (meal must be booked in advance).
Overnight in Hveragerði or Selfoss.

Explore on your own

Day 4

Distinctive waterfalls – Cliffs &amp; stone arches – Black sand beaches
&nbsp;
Drive along the scenic South Shore and the area near the infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano. This is the volcano whose massive 2010 eruption caused air traffic around the world to be cancelled. We recommend a stop at the interactive LAVA Centre where you’ll learn about the powerful volcanic and tectonic forces that shaped both Iceland and Earth. The centre has interesting exhibits for all age groups.
Your journey takes you by the beautiful Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls (each one a photo worthy visit) and Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Seljalandsfoss waterfall is a graceful, ribbon-shaped cascade that once dropped into the sea. Skógafoss waterfall is one of the most photographed falls in Iceland. Its perfect shape makes a fantastic backdrop for a selfie. Nearby is the Skógar Folk Museum, where we recommend exploring the old turf farm or checking out the historical exhibits inside.
Stop by the seafront village of Vík to explore Reynisfjara, a dramatic stretch of coastline poised between glacier-topped mountains, rugged sea cliffs and black- sand beaches.
Dyrhólaey * is a rocky headland famous in photos for its black lava arch. During the summer, thousands of sea birds and puffins nest here (puffins are generally in Iceland between mid-May and early August)
Head through the vast lava fields of Eldhraun that were created in a devastating eruption in the 18th century that impacted both Icelanders and Western Europeans. Your destination is Kirkjubæjarklaustur, a town named after a medieval convent.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.
*Important: Please note that Dyrhólaey is closed during nesting season, from about the middle of May until late June.

The Scenic South Coast

Day 5

Glacial national park – Iceberg lagoon – Europe&#8217;s largest glacier
&nbsp;
Today you’ll be in Vatnajökull National Park, named after Europe’s largest glacier. Visit the awe-inspiring Skaftafell area of the park, which is set between glaciers. There are several excellent hiking trails including one to the basalt lined Svartifoss Falls (summer hiking trail). If you want to experience glacier adventure, we recommend taking a guided hike on one of the park’s glaciers.
Continue to the shimmering icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon and enjoy the amazing view. Many people enjoy taking an amphibian boat trip on the Glacier Lagoon itself (available between May and October). Nearby the Glacier Lagoon is the Diamond Beach, an area where glittering pieces of glaciers perch on the volcanic black sand coastline.
If you would like to view another glacier lagoon, you should check out Fjallsárlón. It is a smaller and less visited ice lagoon with distinctive beauty. You can take Zodiac tours in this lagoon that give you amazing views of the icebergs (available between May and October).
Return to your accommodation in the late afternoon.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Floating Icebergs and Diamond Beach

Day 6

Enjoy the day your way
&nbsp;
Take a leisurely trip back through the South Shore area, visiting places you might not have seen on Day 4. This is a good day to try activities like riding ATV vehicles on a black sand beach, guided hiking on Sólheimajökull glacier, or kayaking on the Sólheimajökull glacier lagoon.
Your destination is the beautiful Borgarfjörður region, an area full of enchanting landscapes, Viking history, handicrafts, and local cuisine.
If you enjoy Viking history, this afternoon we recommend a visit to the interactive Settlement Museum in Borgarnes town. You’ll learn how Viking pioneers settled Iceland, as well as tales about the controversial Viking hero Egill Skallagrímsson.
Overnight in the Borgarfjörður area.

South Iceland to West Iceland

Day 7

Sea cliffs with birdlife – Glacier-crowned mountain – Rock formations
&nbsp;
Today you are for a treat: a whole day to explore the countless natural wonders of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, home of Snæfellsjökull National Park. Snæfellsnes is known as “Iceland in a Nutshell” since you can see samples of most Icelandic landscapes in one area. Visit Arnarstapi sea cliffs where many types of seabirds live. If you are visiting during the summer and enjoy hiking, there is a great nature trail between Arnarstapi and Hellnar villages. (About 4.3 km/2.7 miles). Crowning the area is the glacier topped Snæfellsjökull volcano, legendary home to a guardian spirit. Driving through the park gives you a chance to view the mountain from many different angles.
Visit Djúpalónssandur with its mysteriously shaped rocks and black pebbled beach. Then head along the north coast through lively fishing villages. Keep an eye out for Kirkjufell, the photogenic Church Mountain. Ólafsvík town is a great place for whale watching tours.
Overnight in the Borgarfjörður area.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula & Snæfellsjökull National Park

Day 8

Picturesque waterfalls – Europe&#8217;s most powerful hot spring
&nbsp;
We’ve left today open to enjoy Borgarfjörður on your way to Reykjavík. While in Borgarfjörður, you might visit the colourful Víðgelmir lava cave or take an exciting ride up Langjökull glacier in a special truck to view a unique ice tunnel and ice cave and see a glacier from the inside out. If you enjoy scenic hikes, you’ll definitely want to visit the Húsafell Nature Area. A series of walking trails leads to scenic and historical areas. There are trails to suit different seasons, hiking levels and landscapes, so you’ll surely find one that suits you perfectly.
Within the area are also two scenic, impressive waterfalls. Hraunfossar, the Lava Falls, appears as though glacial water is bursting through lava formations. The nearby Barnafoss falls has brilliant blue waters. Visit Deildartunguhver, the most powerful and fastest hot springs in Europe. You can’t bathe in these springs, but the nearby Krauma natural geothermal baths uses water from Deildartunguhver combined with cool mountain springs to create the ideal temperature for relaxation.
Head onwards to Iceland’s colourful capital city, Reykjavík. The rest of the day is open to enjoy the city’s restaurants, museums, and nightlife.
Overnight in the Reykjavík area.

Explore Beautiful Borgarfjörður

Day 9

Volcanic landscapes – Bubbling mud pools – Geothermal spa
&nbsp;
Today explore a different side of Iceland with a visit to Reykjanes peninsula. Designated a UNESCO Geopark in 2015, Reykjanes lies on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It has over 50 geosites related to geothermal and tectonic plate activity. It’s a paradise for geologists and photographers alike! Visit the moon-like surroundings of Lake Kleifarvatn and the Krýsuvík geothermal area with its multicoloured bubbling mud pools. You can also cross the Mid-Atlantic ridge on the Bridge between Continents.
Reykjanes is also home to the famous Blue Lagoon where you can relax in the soothing mineral waters. Note: The Blue Lagoon must be booked in advance. We can help with that!
