After a buffet breakfast, it is time to hit the road on your first adventure. Today, you will be taken on the famous Golden Circle route. This is the most popular day tour in Iceland for reasons which will become obvious. Your first stop is the national park of Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and where you can see the tectonic plates of North America and Europe being slowly pulled apart. Then it is time to stop for a delicious lunch in a local greenhouse.
From here, you will head to one of the most famous geothermal hot spots in Iceland – Geysir. Erupting every 5-8 minutes, Strokkur is a geyser that draws the crowds all year round. Geysers get their name from this very spot. Finally, you will visit Gullfoss. This stunning waterfall is possibly the most famous waterfall in Iceland. Then it is time to head back to the city to do as you please in the evening.

Your second adventure will be along Iceland’s famous South Coast. Stunning and dramatic locations await you today, such as the waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Two of Iceland’s most well-known waterfalls (as well as two of Iceland’s most beautiful) and the incredible black, volcanic beaches that stretch for miles.
You will visit Reynisfjara beach, where the Atlantic Ocean meets basalt pillars that stack in hexagonal shapes on the beach itself. You will also catch a glimpse of the glacier of Sólheimajökull and the volcano of Eyjafjallajökull.

The Snæfellsnes peninsula is somewhat of a less frequently visited location but is one of the most incredible areas in the country. It has been referred to as “Iceland in Miniature” because it features almost all of the things that make Iceland so special in one location.
The road will take you around the volcano of Snæfellsjökull, visiting the cliffs of Arnarstapi, the black beach of Djúpalónssandur, the mountain of Kirkjufell, and the beautiful Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall.

Today, you will journey back to the west, but to the Borgarförður region. This area is steeped in history, as many of the Icelandic sagas take place in this area. It is also rich in natural beauty, from the waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfossar, where the porous lava churns the river into an electric blue, to the majestic glacier Langjökull on the horizon.
You will also visit the historical site of Reykholt, and the final resting place of Snorri Sturluson, one of Iceland’s most famous writers and historians. Then, we will return to the city for one last summer evening spent strolling the streets or taking in the summer nightlife.
Optional Activities: Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Whale Watching, Puffin Watching, FlyOver Iceland
It is time to head home. However, depending on your flight time, you might be able to pay one last visit to the shops, grab a coffee, or take a final stroll. You might even be able to use this day to visit the Blue Lagoon right before you leave. Either way, whilst we are sure you will be sad to leave, you will be dreaming of returning.
