Iceland Grand Discovery

Road Trips

Day 1

Once you have landed at Keflavik 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 Reykjavik.
Reykjanes is a great introduction to Iceland’s unique geology and volcanoes and the site of two of Iceland’s most recent volcanic eruptions in 2021 and 2022 in the Fagridalur area. You’ll see unusual and stunning craters, lava cliffs, fissures and the Mid-Atlantic ridge itself. You can even walk on a bridge that divides Europe and North America. We also recommend a stroll in the surreal Gunnuhver area where you can view quirky colorful mud pools and steam vents bubbling away.
Several charming fishing villages and lighthouses dot the peninsula, and the area has a reputation for tasty seafood fresh from the ocean. Reykjanes is 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.
Drive along mystical lava landscapes of the South Coast road to the charming village of Hveragerdi for your overnight. The road takes you past rocky beaches with thundering waves. Hveragerdi is perfect for getting to know typical small-town Icelandic culture, but with a unique twist. Hveragerdi 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.”
Overnight in the Hveragerdi area.
Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm).
Approximate distance: 100 km / 62 miles, with Reykjanes Peninsula 130 km / 81 miles

While in the area, take advantage of relaxing in one of the local favorite hot spring-fed pools that make Iceland so famous. The Secret Lagoon is a historical swimming pool with an all-natural feel and its own little geyser. The Laugarvatn Fontana natural steam baths sooth away aches and pains, followed by relaxation in a series of mineral hot spring pools.
Overnight in the Golden Circle area.

Day 3

Thundering Waterfalls – Seabird Colony – Black Sand Beaches
Drive along the spectacular south coast and view highlights along the way such as Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls and Myrdalsjokull glacier. If the skies are clear, you might even have a glimpse of beautiful Mt. Hekla, Iceland’s most frequently erupting volcano. The glacier offers great opportunities for guided snowmobile or ice hiking tours.
Head to Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village. In the area you can view the seabird cliff of Dyrholaey** and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Continue over Eldhraun, Iceland’s largest single lava flow, towards Kirkjubaejarklaustur, a picturesque village that is the former site of a 12th-century Catholic convent. The town is known for its excellent farm-raised arctic char trout, which you might like to try tonight.
**Please note that Dyrholaey is closed during nesting season in spring, from around mid-May until June 23rd.

Day 4

Spectacular Canyon – Crater Area – Historic Eruption Site
Enjoy the day exploring this little-known area, part of the <a href="http://www.katlageopark.com/">Katla UNESCO GeoPark</a>.
We recommend a hike in magnificent Fjadrargljufur, one of the most spectacular canyons in Iceland. Please be respectful of the fragile nature in this beautiful nature reserve. Stay on the marked paths, both for your safety and to protect delicate vegetation.
If you are traveling in June, July or August, a longer detour to the volcanic Laki craters (Lakagigar) is a great option. You’ll need a strong 4WD drive car for this, category 5.0 or higher. The drive takes you over unpaved mountain tracks to the site of a catastrophic eruption from 1783-84. The area includes unforgettable and beautiful sights such as Laki, the largest of the craters, which is 818 meters (2684 feet) high and has a breathtaking view over the craters.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Day 5

Glacier-Rimmed Oasis –Iceberg Lagoon – Europe&#8217;s Largest Glacier
Today you will be in the southern area of Vatnajokull National Park, named after Europe’s largest glacier. You’ll certainly have this magnificent glacier in view through your day as you follow the route.

One of the best-known trails leads to the basalt lined Svartifoss waterfall (the Black Falls). The park’s visitor center has up to date information on trails you can hike during your visit.
Continue to the shimmering icebergs of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where you can admire the views of the icebergs floating in the cool waters. You might even glimpse a few seals. Nearby is the Diamond Beach, an area of glittering bits of glass-like ice scattered across black sands.
Continue on, perhaps taking a detour to the beautiful and much photographed mountain of Vestrahorn. Head on to harbor town of Hofn, also known as the “lobster capital” of northern Europe. Several restaurants specialize in this delicious seafood treat.
Overnight in the Hofn area.

Day 6

Narrow Fjords – Steep Mountains – Picturesque Coastline
The scenery today will be stunning, so make sure your camera is charged and ready. Drive through the spectacular Eastfjords region with towering mountains and charming fishing villages. On the way, you might opt to visit the quirky egg sculptures in the harbor of charming Djupivogur village or visit Petra&#8217;s famous local stone and mineral collection at Stodvarfjordur. If you’re feeling thirsty for a local brew, we recommend a stop at the Beljandi microbrewery in Breiddalsvik. The brewery was a community project, so you’ll definitely get a feel for local life here.
You can either drive straight through Fagridalur (the Beautiful Valley) to Egilsstadir town or head along the Eastfjords, one of the oldest regions in Iceland, shaped by glaciers during the Ice Age. Although many are uninhabited, each fjord has its own grandeur. The natural harbors in the fjords cradle fishing villages that have still hung on a bit of Old-World charm. Some of the unique villages include Faskrudsfjordur with its interesting French connection, Reydarfjordur and its World War II heritage, and Eskifjordur with its historical fishing heritage.
In the Egilsstadir area, you can visit the beautiful Hallormsstadur forest and a river reputed to be the home of a friendly sea monster. Perhaps you’ll end the day at Lake Urridavatn’s Vok Baths, where you can unwind in untouched nature in distinctive floating geothermal pools.

Also explore Borgarfjordur Eystri, steeped in the folklore of elves. This area also has excellent hiking paths in the mountains and along the sea. The town of Bakkagerdi is very charming and offers locally guided walking tours to discover the town’s historical buildings (including a turf house) and learn local history, folktales and traditions.
Another suggestion is to spend a day or half a day at the award-winning Wilderness Center on the edge of the hauntingly beautiful eastern highlands. Here you can discover Iceland’s pioneer history and highland nature in a clever interactive way. Take a guided horseback tour to an abandoned farm. Join a locally guided hike into the majestic wilderness to view waterfalls along a glacier river, including a dip into a natural hot spring pool. Relax at the cozy Wilderness Spa. Enjoy a meal at the center’s historical farmhouse, where you can chat with the center’s hosts in the kitchen as they prepare you a meal made from wilderness sourced ingredients.

Today you will be in the northern area of Vatnajokull National Park, which covers 14% of Iceland’s landscape. This region of the park has its own distinctive character. Less visited than the southern area, this area shows Iceland’s wild side to its fullest.
Travel across the vast Modrudalsoraefi highlands and into the wilderness. The route takes you to the mighty Dettifoss waterfall. A few moments here listening to the heavy thundering water against a surreal landscape is one of Iceland’s most amazing experiences.
Head through the park and its amazing canyon areas carved by the Jokulsar river. Explore the impressive horse-shoe-shaped Asbyrgi canyon, said to be formed by the god Odin’s stallion.

Overnight in the Husavik or Lake Myvatn area.

If you want to add some activities, you can enjoy guided hiking or mountain bike tours or horseback riding around the lake (or rent a bike to pedal around the area yourself). A
During the day’s exploring, we recommend taking a relaxing dip in the Myvatn Nature Baths. The azure blue geothermal water is soothing to skin and joints, and the scenery is amazing.
Myvatn is known for its smoked arctic char served on sweet rye bread baked in natural steam ovens. The Vogafjos restaurant is one of our favorite places to stop and enjoy lunch or dinner.

Discover older fishing traditions at the Osvor traditional fishing camp, a restored 19th century area where locals fished at sea using simple wooden rowboats.
Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is another place we recommend, especially if you enjoy nature, wildlife and hiking. It is remote and off limits to all motorized traffic, so you can only access this pure and wild nature by boat. This is also a good area to spot Arctic foxes, and there are eco-friendly locally guided day tours to view these beautiful creatures.
