Accommodation

The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation. Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if weโ€™re arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isnโ€™t always possible which means we wonโ€™t be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available. Comfortable hotel (6 nights), Feature stay (1 night)

Transport

On this trip we are travelling in our own private minibus as this allows us to reach some more off the beaten path destinations and gives us flexibility which would not be possible by public transport. Please note that there are some long travel days and some rough stretches on gravelly and windy roads. On some days we depart early in the morning to ensure we optimise our time. All our vehicles in Iceland have complimentary Wi-Fi. Private Vehicle (Ford Transit van or similar)

Guide

All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Premium leaders are Intrepidโ€™s most experienced, with in-depth knowledge and extensive local networks to make it a trip of a lifetime. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. When not already included in your trip, your leader will be able to recommend a local guide service who can share more detailed or specialised information at specific sites should you be interested in delving deeper. All Intrepid group trips in Iceland are accompanied by one of our group leaders, who will also be the driver.

      Velkommin! Welcome to Reykjavik โ€“ the worldโ€™s most northerly capital and the starting point of your adventure. Youโ€™ll be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. Youโ€™ll then have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight to meet your group and local leader.

      Day 2: Reykjavik / Golden Circle / Fludir

      This morning, head to the geologically and historically important Thingvellir National Park.

Visit the spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur before driving to the spectacular Gullfoss โ€“ Icelandโ€™s largest waterfall. After your visit, head to your base for the evening in Fludir. This afternoon, maybe visit the Secret Lagoon โ€“ a natural geothermal pool warmed by the nearby hot springs.

Next is Skaftafell National Park, where youโ€™ll come face-to-face with Vatnajokull โ€“ Europeโ€™s biggest glacier. Carry on to some of the countryโ€™s most impressive, uninterrupted scenery and wander past the enormous basalt sea stacks at Reynisdrangar. Later, head to the Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon โ€“ your Feature Stay for the night. This modern and contemporary hotel carefully considers its surroundings as spacious rooms with huge windows show off views of the mountains and sea, while the interiors reflect the colours of the world outside. This evening, youโ€™ll have dinner at the on-site restaurant that serves up a creative list of dishes made with local Icelandic produce.

At 60 m high and 25 m wide, itโ€™s one of the largest and most impressive waterfalls in Iceland. Your leader will be on hand to explain how these geographical wonders came to be. Continue to Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can walk right behind the stream of rushing water to see it from another angle. Next, return to Reykjavik for a free evening.

If you feel like something more active, you can take a ride on an Icelandic horse, or see killer whales just offshore on a whale watching expedition.
