Itinerary of your trip Iceland North & South - 6 Days

  • Day 1 Day 1: The Golden Circle
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: The Golden Circle

      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 Icelandโ€™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 itโ€™s on to Gullfoss, one of Icelandโ€™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 itโ€™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.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Skaftafell & Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Skaftafell & Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon

      Kirkjubajarklaustur - Hof. Todayโ€™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, in Vatnajรถkull National Park. Then we visit Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, characterized by icebergs that have calved from the nearby Vatnajokull Glacier and see the famous Diamond Beach, its coal-black sands peppered with the glittering icebergs which have been washed ashore. Arriving in Hof, the dark nights are once again perfect for spotting the Northern Lights in winter.

  • Day 3 Day 3: The Eastern Fjords
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: The Eastern Fjords

      Hof - Egilsstadir. Heading away from Icelandโ€™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, home to a fine outdoor sculpture, Eggin รญ Gleรฐivรญk (meaning The Eggs of Merry Bay) Afterward, we will spend the rest of the day in a live history center that offers optional hiking, biking, horse riding activities, exhibitions & hot spring spa. Located halfway between Europeโ€™s largest glacier, Vatnajรถkull, and Lake Lagarfljรณt, the Wilderness Center is an authentic Icelandic experience.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Godafoss & Akureyri
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Godafoss & Akureyri

      Egilsstadir - Akureyri. This morning we drive to Stuรฐlagil Canyon, one of the worldโ€™s most enchanting basalt rock formations before we explore the mystical landscapes around Lake Mรฝvatn, a designated nature reserve with lava fields and volcanic craters. There is the option to soak in the famous geothermal spa Myvatn Nature Baths. Then we stop at the mud pools of the Namskard Geothermal Area with its steamy puddles, sulfur-scented steam, and moon-like landscapes. Continuing to the Dimmuborgir formations, known as โ€™โ€™Dark Castlesโ€™โ€™ rumoured to be home to deadly trolls and elves in Icelandic folklore. Our last stop is at Godafoss waterfall before we arrive at Akureyri in the north of Iceland. The town is home to 17,000 people and boasts panoramic views over the Eyjafjordur fjord. Youโ€™ll have time to head out and explore independently.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Whale Watching
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Whale Watching

      Akureyri - Laugarbakki. Today we hope to get up close to some of the giants of the natural world. Iceland is well known for the diversity of whales and dolphins that inhabit its waters. Our three-hour whale-watching cruise departs from the fishing town of Dalvik, and we hope to see humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and perhaps even a blue whale - though the species to spot will depend on the time of year you travel. After the cruise, we drive along the Trollaskagi Peninsula, taking in quaint fishing hamlets and agricultural areas. Arriving in Laugarbakki, winter travellers will have another chance to look for the Northern Lights in the evening.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Return To Reykjavik
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Return To Reykjavik

      Laugarbakki - Reykjavik. We make our return journey to Reykjavik today, beginning our day with a short hike up to Grรกbrรณk, a volcano crater with fabulous views over the lava field and the whole area on a clear day. There are numerous stops along our route through Borgarfjordur, Icelandโ€™s western region. These include the Deildartunguhver hot spring and the legendary Barnafoss waterfall. We also see the Hraunfossar cascade, the low and wide falls where the water emerges straight from the lava field. Thereโ€™s also a stop in picturesque Reykholt before we arrive back in the capital. Weโ€™ll arrive in Reykjavik between 17:00 - 18:00 when your tour will come to an end.
