Iceland North & South - 6 Days

Reykjavik - Kirkjubajarklaustur. Our Icelandic adventure begins as we depart Reykjavik - you will be collected from a designated central pick up point at 08:00. Today we visit the most important sites along Iceland's Golden Circle route. Take in Thingvellir National Park and the Geysir Geothermal Area, where the mighty Strokkur erupts every 10 minutes or so. Then it's on to Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most majestic waterfalls. Travelling south, we stop at two other waterfalls - Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Enjoy a walk behind the cascades before we head to Reynisfjara for a stroll on the back lava beach here. Then it's on to Kirkjubajarklaustur near the village of Vik. Our rural hotel is a great base for spotting the Northern Lights if you are visiting in the winter months from September to April. Please note that we strongly recommend arriving in Reykjavik the day before your tour starts.

Kirkjubajarklaustur - Hofn. Today's activity will depend on when you are travelling. Winter departures will explore an ice cave, whilst summer departures will enjoy a guided glacier hike at Skaftafell, a national park. Then we visit Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, characterized by icebergs that have calved from the nearby Vatnajokull Glacier. Arriving in Hofn, the dark nights are once again perfect for spotting the Northern Lights in winter.

Hofn - Egilsstadir. Heading away from Iceland's traditional tourist path, we journey along the coastline of the Eastern Fjords to the pretty riverside town of Egilsstadir. On the way, we visit the fishing village of Djupivogur and enjoy a scenic hike to Hengifoss, the second-highest waterfall in the country. We also see Litlanesfoss waterfall, where hexagonal basalt columns frame the cascade.
