Hot Springs and Cool Arctic Roads (Winter Version)

Road Trips

Day 1

Volcanic Peninsula – Bridge between Continents – Geothermal Lagoon
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, you might enjoy exploring the unique Reykjanes Peninsula (a UNESCO GeoPark site).
Reykjanes is a great introduction to Iceland’s unique geology and volcanoes, and the site of eruptions between 2020 and 2025. You’ll see unusual and stunning features around the peninsula, including craters, lava cliffs, fissures, and the Mid-Atlantic ridge itself. We also recommend a stroll in the surreal Gunnuhver area where you can view quirky colourful mud pools and steam vents bubbling away.
Reykjanes is home to the renowned Blue Lagoon. We recommend visiting the Blue Lagoon as a great introduction to Iceland’s hot spring culture. Important: admission to the Blue Lagoon needs to be booked in advance. We can help you with that!
Drive to your hotel in Reykjavík, the colourful capital of Iceland. Overnight in Reykjavík.
Approximate distance: 50 km / 30 miles, with Reykjanes Peninsula 95 km / 55 miles)
Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm)
Our Recommended Hot Spring Experiences: The Blue Lagoon. We’re happy to book this experience for you!

Reykjanes Peninsula and the Blue Lagoon

Day 2

Magical Waterfalls – Viking History – Hot Springs and Glacier
&nbsp;
This morning head to West Iceland’s Borgarfjörður region via an undersea tunnel. This region is popular with locals, but it is getting known internationally for its volcanic beauty, local cuisine and handicrafts, and Viking legends.
If you would like to experience a traditional and rustic hot spring, we suggest first visiting Hvammsvík Nature Area after you head out of Reykjavík. Hvammsvík offers a series of stone-lined circular pools with geothermal sea water or fresh water. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views of the nature and fjord are just as refreshing as the hot springs.
Interested in history? You might enjoy a stop in Borgarnes town where you can learn about the first Viking settlers in the area at the interactive Settlement Museum. Visit the beautiful Hraunfossar (the Lava Falls), where melted water from a glacier flows through interesting lava formations. Nearby is Barnafoss (the Children’s Falls) and its brilliant blue waters. Make a stop at Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot springs. Nearby (within walking distance) 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 mountain spring water. Krauma’s restaurant serves healthy food using ingredients from local farms and greenhouses.
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.
Continue your journey, heading into North Iceland.
Overnight in Northwest Iceland.
Our Recommended Hot Spring Experiences: Hvammsvík Nature Area; Krauma Natural Geothermal Baths. We’re happy to book one of these experiences for you!

Borgarfjörður – Laugarbakki

Day 3

Local Hot Springs – Waterfall of the Gods – Volcanic Wonderland
&nbsp;
Continue your journey in North Iceland, passing coastal villages and heading into a region of towering mountains and fertile valleys. If you’re interested in an authentic and rustic hot spring experience, we recommend a detour to Fosslaug, a tiny, traditional hot spring bathing area made with stones and earth. It is located in a secluded area near a waterfall, so the free in-car Wi-Fi for your mobile device’s GPS will come in handy! Please note there are no changing facilities. It is extremely important to treat this beautiful, fragile pool with respect and not leave any trash behind. 
You can live like a local by visiting one of the geothermal public pools in the towns of Hvammstangi, Þelamörk or Blönduós. Enjoy experiencing North Icelandic daily life and chatting with the locals as you relax in the hot tubs. You might even pick up a few recommendations about local favourite restaurants and shops!
Drive through beautiful alpine scenery en route to Goðafoss (the Waterfall of the Gods). Here, glacial water thunders around surrounding lava to create a beautiful half-circle shaped cascade. Travel to the unforgettable Lake Mývatn area, a geological wonderland that includes the peculiar lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and the pseudo-craters at Skútustaðir. Some of the most bizarre places in the region are the bubbling mud pits and vibrant colours of Námaskarð geothermal area. It’s like walking on another plane t- perhaps even Mars? Mývatn’ s fantastical landscapes have made it a filming location for the HBO Game of Thrones series, as well as several Hollywood movies (Star Wars, Oblivion, Fast and Furious).
A great evening activity is a visit to the Mývatn Nature Baths, where you can relax in the azure blue waters in a tranquil wilderness setting. Restaurants in the area offer local specialties such as arctic charr, traditional smoked lamb, and geothermally baked rye bread.
Overnight in the Lake Mývatn area.
Please Note: The Ring Road route today contains a toll tunnel. More information on the tunnel and fees is <a href="https://www.veggjald.is/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
Our Recommended Hot Spring Experiences: Fosslaug; swimming pools in Hvammstangi, Þelamörk, and Blönduós; Mývatn Nature Baths (we can book Mývatn Nature Baths for you)

Laugarbakki – Lake Mývan

Day 4

Whale Watching – Ocean Hot Springs – Colourful Northern “Capital
&nbsp;
Start your day by visiting places in the Mývatn area you might not have seen yesterday. Then head to Húsavík, a charming fishing town known for its great whale-watching opportunities. This town close to the Arctic Circle has become world famous thanks to the 2020 Netflix film Eurovision Song Contests: The Story of Fire Saga. We highly recommend a visit to the town’s GeoSea Geothermal Sea Baths. Relax in naturally warmed sea water and enjoy a scenic view far out to the Arctic Circle. The town also has interesting museums, restaurants, and a local favourite bakery.
After visiting Húsavík, drive to Akureyri, a charming town with a very lively cultural and dining scene. The locals call it the “capital of North Iceland.” In the winter it becomes a ski resort town with Hlíðarfjall ski area just minutes away by car. Akureyri also has a fantastic swimming pool complex with many pools and hot tubs. A visit here is a fantastic way to end your day.
Overnight in the Akureyri area.
Please Note: The Ring Road route today contains a toll tunnel. More information on the tunnel and fees is <a href="https://www.veggjald.is/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Mývatn – Húsavík – Akureyri

Day 5

Forest Geothermal Pool – Local Heritage and Horses – Sky Lagoon
&nbsp;
Today you are heading to Reykjavík on a route filled with history and, of course, hot spring bathing. Before you leave the Akureyri area, we suggest a visit to the Forest Lagoon (Skógarböð) in a small woodland near the town. This is a lovely geothermal experience with pools, a sauna, relaxation room, two in-water pool bars and an on-site restaurant. The pools have a pleasant view of the area’s flat-topped mountains and the fjord.
Drive through Skagafjörður, a region known for interesting historical sites and excellent Icelandic horse farms. Depending on your schedule, you might visit Glaumbaer, an interesting turf manor house. Occupied between the 18th century and the 1940s, Glaumbaer is now a museum showing how rural Icelanders lived. There are also several places where you can enjoy a guided horseback tour through pretty countryside.
Continue to Reykjavík along Road 1, perhaps stopping to visit places in Borgarfjörður you did not see earlier in the trip.
There’s always time for one last hot spring pool and, as you head into Reykjavík, the Sky Lagoon is a “must.” This unique hot spring experience blends historical architecture and modern facilities, along with unforgettable views over the sea and mountains. Indulge in a relaxing seven step geothermal experience called the Ritual. It will leave you rejuvenated and in touch with Iceland’s nature. You’ll be invigorated and ready to enjoy the evening in Iceland’s vibrant capital city.
Overnight in Reykjavík.
Our Recommended Hot Spring Experiences: The Forest Lagoon; The Sky Lagoon (we can book these experiences for you!)

Akureyri – Reykjavík

Day 6

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 Sky Lagoon or the Blue Lagoon earlier but have some free time today, you might want to use the opportunity to enjoy one of these experiences 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 to enjoy hot spring bathing.
