Day 1: Begin in Reykjavík
Welcome to Iceland! Get ready to discover the epic "Land of Fire and Ice" over the next few days with an awesome group of like-minded travellers. Our adventures kickstart in Reykjavik tonight, with us grabbing a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 2: Golden Circle
Stunning scenery is right around the corner as we explore the best of Iceland's Golden Circle. First up is the jaw-dropping Thingvellir National Park, as made famous by Game of Thrones! Take your time exploring before we head to Efstidalur for an organic farm-to-table presentation. After one of the most delicious lunches of your life, it's time to tick Strokkur Geyser and Gullfoss Falls off our Iceland bucket list! This afternoon, we will tour a geothermal greenhouse and befriend the Icelandic pony-sized horses. Finish the day back at tonight's accommodation, unwinding at the rooftop sauna and hot tub. Now this is the good life...
Day 3: Waterfalls and beaches
Spend the morning chasing waterfalls at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, promising views that will take your breath away. Then it's time for more natural wonders as we head to the coast. Iceland is not your typical beach destination, and neither are its famously black sandy stretches. From Reynisfjara to Diamond Beach and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, we can bet that you have never seen anything quite like this before!
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. Feel free to enjoy some downtime here, or sign up for some optional glacier trekking if you're craving a more active-style adventure. Later this evening, we have a relaxed evening planned in a small coastal village called Vik.
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 the streets of Reykjavik at your leisure. Fancy some rest and relaxation? Shape your free time with an optional Blue Lagoon hot springs excursion, where the steamy, mineral-rich water is said to have healing properties. There will also be an optional Icelandic-style farewell dinner. Tonight, let's raise a glass or two to all the memories made!
Day 6: Finish in Reykjavík
You've made new friends, ticked off those long-awaited sights, and fallen head over heels for Iceland. Now it's time to say our goodbyes. Until next time!
Day 1: Begin in Reykjavík
Welcome to Iceland! Touchdown in Reykjavík, the world's northernmost capital, home to all things artsy, historical and wild. Drop your bags, then meet your new travel crew and group leader later tonight. Tonight's welcome dinner is on us!
Day 2: Golden Circle and Midgard
Legendary doesn't begin to describe the Golden Circle. First, the tectonic plates of Thingvellir National Park (technically, you're ticking off two continents). Second, the epic eruptions of Strokkur Geyser. And last, chasing rainbows at Gullfoss Falls. Just when you think today can't get any better, we have two more surprises for you: ice cream as a side-quest, then a night of saunas and stargazing at our base camp.
Day 3: Midgard to Klaustur
Iceland's South Coast is unbelievable. Feel the mist as we hop from Seljalandsfoss to Skógafoss this morning, two insanely high waterfalls. Plot twist: escape to the black sands of Reynisfjara Beach, famed for its roaring waves and rock giants. Call dibs on a window seat later, as we drive past glaciers and canyons to reach the village of Klaustur, aka Kirkjubæjarklaustur (your group leader will teach you how to pronounce that).
Day 4: Vatnajökull National Park to Vík
We're in the 'Land of Fire and Ice', so today we're coming face-to-face with Europe's largest glacier. Breathe in those frozen landscapes, then if you're feeling adventurous, head onto the ice with an optional guided glacier trek. Clear out your camera roll for what's next: floating icebergs in Jökulsárlón Lagoon and Diamond Beach. Tonight, you can find us in the southernmost village of Vík.
Day 5: Blue Lagoon and Reykjavík
Soak in rugged coastal views as we return to where it all began. But first, one last bucket list moment. Iceland's iconic Blue Lagoon is yours for an optional spa day. Sink into those milky blue waters, face mask on. Then it's our final night together in Reykjavík, and since parties here last until morning... We'll make it count!
Day 6: Finish in Reykjavík
You've made new friends, ticked off those long-awaited sights, and fallen head over heels for Iceland. Now it's time to say our goodbyes. Until next time!
