Day 1: Reykjavik
Welcome to Iceland! Get ready to discover the epic "Land of Fire and Ice" over the next few days. Our adventures kickstart in Reykjavik tonight, with us grabbing a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 2: The Golden Circle
Stunning scenery is right around the corner as we explore the best of Iceland's Golden Circle. First up is Thingvellir National Park, a filming location for Game of Thrones with jaw-dropping views, before an organic farm-to-table presentation in Efstidalur. Then it's time for Strokkur Geyser and Gullfoss Falls! Finish off our action-packed day by touring a geothermal greenhouse and befriending the Icelandic pony-sized horses. Oh... and did we mention that tonight's accommodation comes with its own rooftop sauna and hot tub?
Day 3: Waterfalls & beaches
If there's one thing to know about Iceland, it's that this destination is full of surprises! Spend the morning chasing waterfalls at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Later on, we're ticking Iceland's iconic black sandy stretches off our travel bucket list, from Reynisfjara to Diamond Beach and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.
Day 4: Vatnajökull National Park
No big deal, only the most ginormous ice cap in Europe waiting for us as we discover Vatnajökull National Park this morning! The BEST views are waiting for us at Svinafellsjökull, so have your cameras ready. Whether you fancy a bit of downtime or want to sign up for some optional glacier trekking, we've given you a free afternoon to discover on your terms. Our final destination of the day is a rural village called Vik on the Icelandic coast.
Day 5: Vik to Reykjavik
Reykjavik is calling our name as we take a scenic drive from coast to coast, stopping at Lake Kleifarvatn along the way. Upon arrival, you can explore at your leisure or shape your free time with an optional Blue Lagoon hot springs excursion and an Icelandic-style farewell dinner. Tonight, let's raise a glass or two to all the memories made!
