Itinerary of your trip South Iceland Summer Explorer - 6 Days

  • Day 1 Day 1: Reykjavik
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Reykjavik

      Welcome to Iceland! Board the Flybus Shuttle and transfer from Keflavik Airport to your hotel in Reykjavik. The rest of the day is free to head out and explore Icelandโ€™s charming capital.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Reykjavik, Whale Watching & The Sky Lagoon
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Reykjavik, Whale Watching & The Sky Lagoon

      This morning we embark on a city tour of Reykjavik. Take in sights including the famous Hallgrimskirkja church, National Museum, City Hall, and Houses of Parliament. Later, we enjoy a 3-hour whale-watching cruise. All manner of species come to the food-rich waters of Iceland to feed in summer, and you may be able to spot dolphins, humpback whales, blue whales, orca, and more during the cruise. We then visit the Whales of Iceland exhibition, home to many life-sized whale models and a virtual reality experience. Then we enjoy a visit to the Sky Lagoon, Icelandโ€™s latest attraction, set to rival the famous Blue Lagoon. The Sky Lagoon is man-made, but filled with Icelandโ€™s natural geothermal water and looks out over the harbour of Reykjavik. Relax in the warm waters and perhaps enjoy a glass of champagne as you let the lagoon rejuvenate you.

  • Day 3 Day 3: The Westman Islands
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: The Westman Islands

      Reykjavik - The Westman Islands - Hella. Leaving Reykjavik, we travel to the coast and board a ferry to Heimaey, the only inhabited island in the Westman archipelago. In 1973, half of the islandโ€™s settlements were destroyed by a volcanic eruption, triggering a huge evacuation effort. Residents managed to save the harbour from destruction by pouring cold seawater on the lava to direct it away from this important infrastructure. Weโ€™ll take a bus and walking tour of the island, including a visit to the "Pompeii of the North", a volcanic excavation project. Weโ€™ll also have the chance to walk up the volcano crater. As well as the 4,500 residents who still live on Heimaey, approximately 8 million puffins make the island their summer home, and youโ€™ll be able to see these beautiful birds by the hundred. Many other migratory species also visit the Westman Islands in summer to feed and breed, so who knows which species you may spot! Youโ€™ll have plenty of time to explore Heimaey town and its surrounding areas independently before we return to the mainland and head to our overnight accommodation in Hella.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Waterfalls, Volcanoes & Glaciers
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Waterfalls, Volcanoes & Glaciers

      Hella - Vik - Skรณgar - Hella. Today we experience the true forces of nature which make Iceland so special. Our morning starts with the plunging Seljalandsfoss waterfall, thereโ€™s a path that winds its way directly behind Seljalandsfoss, which we will walk along and feel the spray from the waterfall. On our way to the village of Vik we attend the famous lava show, when a volcanic eruption is re-enacted on a small scale. Youโ€™ll see lava flowing along the ice, and feel the immense heat radiating from it. We then travel to the black lava beach of Reynisfjara. Our walk along the beach will allow us to spot yet more of Icelandโ€™s birdlife, as well as impressive rock formations and basalt columns. In the afternoon, we visit Skogar where weโ€™ll see the traditional turf houses of the Skogar Folk Museum and be mesmerised by the sightings of the thundering skogafoss waterfall, reaching over 60 meters high, it is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country. Alternatively you can join an optional glacier hike at Sรณlheimajรถkull glacier Itโ€™s an informative and easy walk through a frozen wonderland of different shades of glacier ice. Price per person: ISK 23.000.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Landmannalaugar

      Hella - Landmannalaugar - Reykjavik. Leaving our hotel in Hella, we transfer to a highland vehicle and drive along the unpaved road to Landmannalaugar. These incredible mountains were formed by rhyolite lava, which is of a different sort to many volcanic formations. The effect is a series of "rainbow" mountains, with lots of interspersing colours, including reds, yellows, and browns. Sizzling sulfur springs are still visible and steamy vapour rises from the land. Weโ€™ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the area and there is free time to explore and take a dip in a natural geothermal stream. Weโ€™ll stop to see the beautiful Hjalparfoss waterfall before returning to Reykjavik where the evening is at leisure.
