Glorious Glaciers and Northern Lights

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. Depending on your arrival time in Iceland, we suggest that you take some time to explore the Reykjanes Peninsula (a UNESCO GeoPark site) before you head to Reykjavík.
Reykjanes is a great introduction to Iceland’s unique geology and volcanoes, and the site of eruptions between 2021 and 2025. You’ll see unusual and stunning features around the peninsula, including craters, lava cliffs, and fissures. We recommend a stroll in the surreal Gunnuhver area where you can view quirky colourful mud pools and steam vents bubbling away.
Reykjanes is also home to the renowned Blue Lagoon, and you might enjoy the chance to relax in the soothing azure waters. Important: admission to the Blue Lagoon needs to be booked in advance. We can help you with that!
Travel to your hotel in Reykjavík and check-in. Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm)
Overnight in Reykjavík.
Approximate distance: 50 km / 30 miles (If you visit Reykjanes on the way: 95 km / 55 miles)

Arrival and Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 2

Whale fjord – Europe’s most powerful hot spring – Magical waterfalls
&nbsp;
Today, head to the scenic Borgarfjörður region via the Hvalfjörður tunnel. If you don’t want to take the tunnel, you can take the scenic coastal road instead (adds additional 17 km / 10 miles to the trip).
On the way, if you’re looking for a uniquely Icelandic hot spring bathing experience you might visit the new Hvammsvik nature area. Though modern, the stone-lined seaside pools evoke the traditional hot spring pools of olden times. You can relax in a variety of warm seawater pools overlooking a scenic landscape.
Borgarfjörður is a popular area among locals from Reykjavík, who enjoy coming here for holidays. It’s also getting popular with international visitors for its exotic landscapes and Viking history. We suggest a stop in Borgarnes town where you can learn about the first Viking settlers at the popular Settlement Museum. Visit Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot springs, the beautiful Hraunfossar (the Lava Falls), where melted water from a glacier flows through interesting lava formations. Near Deildartunguhver you can indulge in hot spring relaxation at the Krauma natural geothermal baths. Krauma is known for its “fire and ice” experience since it combines Deildartunguhver’s hot spring waters with cool spring water that originates from the mountains.
Tonight, you are well situated to catch a glimpse of the famous northern lights, if Mother Nature decides to cooperate.
Overnight in the Borgarfjörður area (2 nights).

Reykjavík to Borgarfjörður

Day 3

Langjökull Glacier OR Snæfellsjökull National Park
&nbsp;
Today you can choose to continue to explore the marvellous Borgarfjörður region, or you can visit the scenic Snæfellnes Peninsula. Each area has something to offer.
Borgarfjörður: Here’s a hidden gem glittering with enchanting volcanic scenery, glacial views, and Viking age history. Langjökull glacier offers exciting adventures such as exploring an ice cave and tunnel built into the icy-blue heart of the glacier. Start with an adventurous ride up the glacier in a monstrous 18-wheeled vehicle. Once in the tunnel, you’ll view a glacier from the inside and learn how these icy wonders are formed. Another interesting area activity is a guided visit to the colourful Víðgelmir lava cave. If you are up for an exotic adventure/relaxation experience, try a guided winter hike to the Húsafell Canyon Baths, stone-lined hot pools in the secluded highlands.
Snæfellsnes: This peninsula is known as “Iceland in a Nutshell” because it contains so many distinct types of Icelandic landscape in one location. Give yourself an early start since there is so much you can see in this beautiful area. We recommend you stop at the wind tangled Arnarstapi sea cliffs and the rocky beach of Djúpalónssandur. The beautiful Snæfellsjökull glacier-volcano is the crown jewel of the peninsula. Legends say that the mountain is home to a benevolent half-troll guardian. Drive along the north coast through bustling fishing villages, stopping to look at Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in the country.
Overnight in the Borgarfjörður area.

Borgarfjörður – Langjökull Glacier OR Snæfellsnes

Day 4

National park with geological wonders – Golden falls – Lively geysers
&nbsp;
Today you’ll be visiting some of Iceland’s best-known national wonders! Head for the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir National Park, where the world&#8217;s oldest parliament met for centuries on the shores of Iceland’s largest lake. This is also the meeting point of the tectonic plates that divide the North American and European continents, giving you the rare chance to take a walk between two continents. Visit the quirky geothermal fields of Geysir. Stroll along a footpath around colourful bubbling mud pools and spouting geysers. The most famous of these is Strokkur, which erupts about every ten minutes. Then visit the dramatic, two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall, a spectacular sight in winter when frozen mid-cascade.
Afterwards, drive along winter country roads to your overnight in South Iceland. If nature co-operates, you might glimpse some northern lights!
Travel idea: The Golden Circle area is full of hot springs, and there are three great local favourite bathing pools. The new Laugarás Lagoon features hot spring bathing in a stwo-storey pool and a mini forest bathing area. Laugarvatn Fontana is built on top of a hot spring, and its steam baths are good for your skin and joints. The Secret Lagoon is a lovely historical stone-lined natural geothermal pool with its own tiny geyser nearby. We’re happy to book a visit for you.
Overnight in the Hella or Hvollsvöllur area.

The Golden Circle

Day 5

Thundering waterfall – Black beaches – Sea cliffs &amp; stone arches
&nbsp;
Travel along the south coast, one of Iceland’s main farming areas. You’ll see many farms and shaggy haired herds of Icelandic horses as you head along the Ring Road. See the magnificent waterfall Skógafoss, site of hidden treasure. (Make sure you have your camera ready &#8211; Skógafoss makes a fantastic backdrop for a selfie!) Nearby is Skógar Folk Museum, well known throughout Iceland for its collection of mementos from several centuries housed in beautifully preserved old turf-roofed buildings.
Make a stop in pretty Vík village. Nearby, you can admire stunning views of a black sand beach and the black basalt columns of Reynisdrangar. 
You’ll also see glaciers from the road, including Mýrdalsjökull and Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. The road leads alongside this dramatic glacier as you head to your overnight in Southeast Iceland.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Waterfalls and Glacial Horizons

Day 6

Vatnajökull glacier – Glacial national park – Iceberg lagoon
&nbsp;
Today is perfect for exploring glacial wonders in Vatnajökull National Park, Western Europe&#8217;s largest national park. Start with a visit to Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, where blue, white, turquoise, and black-streaked icebergs shift and dance. The mystical lagoon is enormous and has been the backdrop for many major feature films and programs. It is a special place for photographers who enjoy the challenge of catching the icebergs in just the right light conditions.
Depending on your schedule and sense of adventure, you might join a guided Super  Jeep tour to visit a mystical crystal ice cave hidden deep in the glaciers. The tour departs from Jökulsárlón parking lot and must be booked in advance. We can help with that!
Nearby is the Diamond Beach, an area where icebergs rest on black sand. It has become a famous site for Instagrammers.
If you want a different glacial lagoon photography experience, Fjallsárlón is beautiful and often has fewer visitors.
Visit Vatnajökull National Park’s majestic Skaftafell area, which is located between two glaciers and offers several winter hiking possibilities. Skaftafell is also an excellent place to try a guided hike on a glacier. There are few better ways to really get close to a glacier and learn about their formation.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Glacial Wonders

Day 7

Amazing Waterfall – Volcanic View – Geothermal Village
&nbsp;
Drive along the scenic south coast back to the west. Though you are following the same road, you will get a different view of the magical landscapes.
Visit Seljalandsfoss, a graceful ribbon-shaped waterfall plunging from a cliff. You’ll also be passing through landscapes impacted by Eyjafjallajökull volcano, famous for its 2010 eruption. If the skies are clear, you might even get a glimpse of the glacier-crowned volcano.
The town of Selfoss makes a great break during your day. The innovative new Selfoss Centre reconstructs the original buildings from the town’s 19th and early 20th century. Visitors find this colourful Icelandic style of corrugated iron facades and chalet architecture very charming. The buildings contain artisanal restaurants, pubs, local shops, and art galleries. You’ll enjoy an authentic Icelandic small-town shopping and dining experience, with a dash of history thrown in.
If you love learning fun facts, we suggest visiting the Skyrland exhibition in the Selfoss Centre’s Old Dairy building. Skyrland is a quirky and delightful interactive experience for all ages that engages all your senses. You’ll discover how a simple Viking age dairy product has become a popular global health food
The town of Hveragerði is also a wonderful place to take a break and enjoy the peaceful village atmosphere. Hveragerði is famous for its geothermal greenhouses where flowers and vegetables are grown year-round. The town has several charming restaurants featuring local cuisine, as well as a small geothermal park. Near Hveragerði, you can enjoy guided winter activities like horseback riding, hiking, and e-biking.
Return to Reykjavík in the late afternoon/early evening. Perhaps this evening you’ll visit the Sky Lagoon, a seaside geothermal spa near Reykjavík. The Sky Lagoon is known for its relaxing Skjól 7-Step Ritual, which combines both modern and traditional geothermal pool traditions.
Overnight in Reykjavík.

South Coast – Reykjavík

Day 8

Drive back to Keflavík International Airport. We recommend departing from your hotel in Reykjavík no later than at least 3 hours before your flight departure. It takes approximately 1 hour to drive to the airport, and the check-in will start 2 hours before your departure.
If you did not visit the Blue Lagoon earlier but have some free time today, you might want to use the opportunity en route to the airport. For this detour, please be sure to allow for at least 2-2,5 hours extra so you’ll have ample time at the lagoon. Your rental car should be returned to the airport service area, which is located only 2 minutes from the airport building. A shuttle will then transport you to the departure hall.
