Winter Marvels & Northern Lights Self Drive on Fixed Dates

Road Trips

Day 1

Once you have landed at Keflavík Airport you will collect your rental car there.
Travel to your hotel in Reykjavík and check-in. The rest of the day is open for your own activities. One of our favourite activities after a long flight is to visit one of the neighbourhood geothermal pools. One activity you might enjoy is a visit to the Sky Lagoon. 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.
It’s also nice to take a stroll in the old city centre, perhaps visiting one of the museums or relaxing with a cup of coffee in a cozy café.
Please note check-in for most hotels begins at 14:00 – 16:00 (2:00pm-4:00pm).
Overnight in Reykjavík.

Arrival in Iceland

Day 2

National Park with Geological Wonders – Lively Geysers – Golden Falls
This morning, head for the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir National Park, where the world’s oldest parliament met for centuries on the shores of Iceland’s largest lake. This is also the meeting point of the tectonic plates dividing the North American and European continents. You’ll have that 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. You can get great views of the waterfall from different angles on a variety of paths.
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 two great local favourite bathing pools.
-The Secret Lagoon is a lovely historical stone-lined natural geothermal pool.
-Laugarvatn Fontana is built on top of a hot spring, and its steam baths are good for your skin and joints. There are also several mineral geothermal pools and a Finnish sauna to enjoy. You can even join a guided visit to Fontana’s unique outdoor geothermal bakery where sweet Icelandic rye bread is naturally baked in hot sands. You can taste some of the freshly baked bread, hot from the ground. (This visit must be booked in advance).
Overnight in the Hella area.

Golden Circle 

Day 3

Twin Waterfalls – Volcanic Landscapes – Black Sand Beaches
Today you’ll explore the iconic South Shore, a region lined with volcanic mountains and glacier views. We suggest a visit to the LAVA Centre in Hvollsvollur town. Here you’ll enjoy interactive exhibits about the volcanoes and earthquakes that helped create Iceland.
Visit two spectacular waterfalls that have a special beauty of their own in the winter. Seljalandsfoss is a ribbon-like fall that drops gracefully down a cliff.  Majestic Skógafoss has become one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls – make sure you have your camera ready for a selfie! As you drive, you’ll also see Myrdalsjökull glacier, one of our favourite places to enjoy guided glacier hiking or snowmobile tours. Continue to Reynisfjara beach and its striking black sands. You can really feel the power of nature in this area of thundering waves and extraordinary rock formations.
Continue onwards, passing Eldhraun, the largest known single lava flow, as you head to your overnight location.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Iceland’s South Shore

Day 4

Glacial National Park – Iceberg Lagoon – Europe’s Largest Glacier
Today you will be in the southern area of Vatnajökull National Park, the largest of its kind in Western Europe. It’s dominated by Vatnajökull glacier, Europe’s largest ice cap.
Start with a visit to Jökulsárlón  Glacier Lagoon, where you can enjoy the breath-taking sight of floating, blue-tinted icebergs on this 180-meter (591-foot) deep glacial lagoon. Nearby is the Diamond Beach, where silvery icebergs rest on black sands. Both the lagoon and the beach are great areas to spend some time capturing perfect photographs.
Depending on your schedule and sense of adventure, you might join a guided SuperJeep tour to visit a mystical crystal ice cave hidden deep in the glaciers. The tour departs from Jokulsarlon parking lot and must be booked in advance. We can help with that!
If you want a different glacial lagoon photography experience, the Fjallsárlón Iceberg Lagoon is beautiful and often has fewer visitors.
Vatnajökull National Park’s glacier ringed Skaftafell is an outstanding area of natural beauty that also has great winter hiking opportunities. The park’s visitor centre can fill you in on which trails are open for hiking during your visit. You can get closer to a glacier – and learn great facts about them – on a guided hiking tour that takes you onto the ice itself.
After a day of glacial wonders, return to your hotel.
Overnight in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Vatnajökull National Park – Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon

Day 5

Greenhouse Village – UNESCO Geopark – Geothermal Lagoon
Head towards the village of Hveragerði, one of the few communities in the world located in an active geothermal area. Hveragerdi is often called ‘the flower village’ because of its many greenhouses that use hot water from nearby springs. There are several charming restaurants and shops, as well as a small geothermal park. Grodurhusid (the Greenhouse) is a new local favourite place that includes a Food Hall and shops specialising in local products and crafts.
Turn onto a coastal road known for its breath-taking views of powerful sea waves slamming against the shoreline. The road leads to Reykjanes peninsula, a UNESCO Geopark with many intriguing geological wonders, including the bubbling Krýsuvík geothermal area and the lunar landscapes of Lake Kleifarvatn. You can also opt to enjoy a relaxing soak in the famous Blue Lagoon, a unique wonder of nature with pleasantly warm and mineral-rich geothermal water located in the middle of a black lava field. (Please note that admission to the Blue Lagoon must be booked in advance. We would be happy to help you with booking admission).
If you’re interested in culture and history, we recommend a visit to the Viking World exhibit where you can discover facts about Viking life and see Íslendingurinn, a replica of a Viking ship that sailed from Iceland to North America in the year 2000.
Return to Reykjavík; the evening is open to enjoy Iceland’s capital city.
Overnight in Reykjavík.

Hveragerði – Blue Lagoon – Reykjavík

Day 6

Drive back to Keflavík International Airport. We recommend departing 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 check-in will start 2 hours before your departure.
If you did not visit the Blue Lagoon on your way to the city on your first day 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.
