Itinerary of your trip 7-Day Journey Around Iceland

  • Day 1 Welcome To Iceland
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Welcome To Iceland

      Travel independently from the airport to your hotel in Reykjavรญk.

  • Day 2 Travel To Akureyri
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Travel To Akureyri

      Our guide meets the group at the hotel in Reykjavik at 9:00 am.


      We drive northwards via the tunnel of Hvalfjรถrdur to the small village of Borgarnes and then onwards to Skagafjรถrdur fjord, known for being one of the main homes of the Icelandic horse and the only county in Iceland where horses outnumber people. We will visit Glaumbรฆr, a traditional turf farm that offers insight into Icelandic history and rural life. Continue over the highland plateau of ร–xnadalsheidi to Akureyri, the capital of north Iceland.


      Overnight stay in Akureyri.


      Optional bathing at Forest Lagoon after arrival in Akureyri (at extra price).

  • Day 3 Lake Myvatn Area
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Lake Myvatn Area

      On this day, we concentrate on the beautiful area around Lake Mรฝvatn. Lake Mรฝvatn is a shallow lake in an area of active volcanism and boasts a high amount of biological activity. Starting from Akureyri, the drive to Mรฝvatn takes about an hour and a half. Along the way, we stop at Goรฐafoss, the "Waterfall of the Gods," a stunning cascade with historical significance.


      We explore the unique volcanic formations at Dimmuborgir, known as the "Dark Castles," and take a stroll around the pseudocraters at Skรบtustaรฐagรญgar. Another fascinating site is Grjรณtagjรก, a small lava cave with a thermal spring inside. We also stop by the geothermal area at Nรกmaskarรฐ, where bubbling mud pools and steaming fumaroles create an otherworldly landscape.


      On our way to Egilsstaรฐir in the east part of Iceland, we stop by Dettifoss Waterfall, reputed to be the second most powerful waterfall in Europe after the Rhine Falls. We then cross Mรถรฐrudalsรถrรฆfi highland desert through Jรถkuldalur and to Egilsstaรฐir.


      Overnight stay in the town of Egilsstaรฐir.

  • Day 4 East Fjords
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      East Fjords

      From Egilsstaรฐir, we drive through the Eastfjords to Hรถfn รญ Hornafirรฐi. This part of the country has many narrow fjords surrounded by steep cliffs. In most of the fjords, we find small and attractive fishing villages. Visitors often overlook this part of the country despite its fantastic scenery, remote fishing villages, sparkling lakes, and traditional farms.


      The region boasts the sunniest weather in the county in summer, but in winter, it is often mystically hidden by a dense fog. The area is known for its wildlife, especially for being the only part of the country where herds of wild reindeer live. Initially, locals brought them to Iceland for farming, but the industry was never profitable, and the experiment was abandoned. The reindeer are still there and have roamed free since.


      Overnight at a hotel in Hรถfn.

  • Day 5 Glacier Lagoon & South Coast
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Glacier Lagoon & South Coast

      We leave Hรถfn to drive along the southeast coast of Iceland. The first stop is at the Jรถkulsรกrlรณn Glacier Lagoon where we will take an amphibian boat tour. The Lagoon developed around 60 years ago with a continuous process of calving and falling icebergs from the glacier tongue Breiรฐamerkurjรถkull. These icebergs come in two shades: milky white and bright blue, an interplay of light and ice crystals. Below the Lagoon, the sparkling shards and orbs of ice wash up on the shore of Breiรฐamerkursandur, causing it to be called Diamond Beach in English.


      Our tour continues further along the Vatnajรถkull National Park. We stop at Skaftafell, a beautiful green oasis at the root of the glacier ร–rรฆfajรถkull, where Hvannadalshnรบkur, Icelandโ€™s highest peak, is located (2119 m). After a quick stop there, we drive over the lava fields of Eldhraun and observe the black glacial deposits at Mรฝrdalssandur outwash plain.


      We pass by the village of Vรญk and visit the black sand beach at Reynisfjara, known for its colony of puffins, unusual geological formations and smashing tidal waves. Be careful not to step too close as the waves can be dangerous. From Reynisfjara, you can view the impressive promontory Dyrhรณlaey where the sea has carved an enormous hole through the rock.


      Next, we stop at the two waterfalls, Skรณgafoss and Seljalandsfoss. At Seljalandsfoss, you can walk behind the waterfall but dress well, as the water mist behind the waterfall can make you wet.


      Overnight in Selfoss area.

  • Day 6 Golden Circle
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Golden Circle

      On this day, we tour the renowned Golden Circle. We start with a visit to the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall, the largest two-stepped waterfall in Iceland. Then we head to the Geysir hot spring area, home to the famous Geysir hot spring from which all other geysers take their name. Geysir is no longer active, but another hot spring, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes.


      Next, we visit the National Park at รžingvellir, where the North American and European tectonic plates drift apart and create a rift valley. The ancient Icelandic parliament, Alรพingi, was established at รžingvellir in 930. Now residing in Reykjavรญk, it is one of the oldest surviving parliaments in the world. รžingvellir is, consequently, a sacred place for Icelanders.


      From รžingvellir, we drive on to our hotel in Reykjavik.


      Optional whale watching from Reykjavรญk harbour after arrival in Reykjavรญk (at extra price).

  • Day 7 Goodbye Iceland
