Arrival in Iceland

Keflavik - Arrive in Iceland and proceed to your hotel in the capital for your first night. Spend the evening exploring Reykjavík — enjoy its vibrant downtown, dine in charming restaurants, or visit local boutiques and galleries.

Golden Circle Day Tour & Evening Northern Lights Excursion

Thingvellir - Set out on the renowned Golden Circle tour, one of Iceland’s most famous sightseeing routes. This full-day guided tour includes the tectonic rift valley at Þingvellir National Park, the geothermal area of Geysir where Strokkur geyser erupts frequently, and the stunning Gullfoss waterfall, often surrounded by glistening winter ice.

The day begins at Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates converge. Known for its striking landscapes, clear waters, and historical importance as the site of Iceland’s first parliament, it offers both natural beauty and cultural richness.

Note: The Golden Circle Tour is available on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Therefore, it may not always occur on day 2 of your trip — the specific day will depend on your booking. This will also affect the order of any optional tours you choose to add to your itinerary.

Geysir - The Geysir Geothermal Area features steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, and the renowned Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes. Visitors can witness Iceland’s geothermal energy up close in this dynamic and ever-changing environment.

Gullfoss Waterfall - Gullfoss, or the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. It cascades in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon, creating powerful mist and rainbows on sunny days, making it a highlight of the Golden Circle route.

Reykjavik - In the evening, embark on a guided Northern Lights tour, away from city lights. Expert guides track weather and aurora forecasts to take you to the best viewing spots. This tour is scheduled for your second night to allow for rescheduling on subsequent nights if necessary due to weather or visibility.

Optional Blue Lagoon Visit

Blue Lagoon - Today, relax in the world-famous Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by lava fields, its warm, mineral-rich waters provide a truly soothing and unique experience. This visit is available as an optional upgrade and can be booked in advance. Included are return transfer, mud mask, rented towel, and 1 drink.

Optional South Shore Adventure

Seljalandsfoss - Enjoy a free day in Reykjavík or explore Iceland’s dramatic southern coast on an optional full-day guided tour. Highlights include the cascading Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, the striking black sands of Reynisfjara beach, and breathtaking views of glaciers and volcanoes as you travel past farmlands and rugged cliffs.

The first stop is Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls, famous for the path that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water. Surrounded by lush cliffs, it offers a magical view at sunset when the light shines through the mist.

Skogafoss - Next, admire the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall. It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country, 60 m high and 25 m wide. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is usually visible on sunny days.

Reynisfjara Beach - Then, visit the black sand beach at Reynisfjara to see the geological formations and the crashing waves. Be cautious not to get too close as the waves can be dangerous.

Vik - Before returning to Reykjavík, visit Vík í Mýrdal, a coastal village that lies in the shadow of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which covers the Katla volcano.

The drive back to Reykjavík takes about 3 hours with some stops along the way.

Optional Reykjavík Food Tour

Reykjavik - Enjoy a free day in Reykjavík or conclude your Icelandic adventure with the Reykjavík Food Tour — a delightful walking tour through the heart of the city. Sample traditional Icelandic dishes like lamb soup, skyr, and even fermented shark, along with local delicacies at carefully selected eateries. This optional tour offers a perfect mix of culture, storytelling, and culinary exploration.
