See all (3)

Highlights

  • Spend five days for unrushed exploration of the two regions

  • Don’t stress about accommodations and breakfast—they’re both included

  • Hassle-free transportation all around West and South Iceland and Reykjavik

Summary

After a Reykjavik hotel pickup, head to many of the major destinations around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, including Deildartunguhver hot spring, Hraunfossar waterfall, and Gerduberg basalt columns. During the evening, hunt for the northern lights—as you will on several nights of the tour—if weather permits. After breakfast on the second morning, head toward the Arnarstapi fishing village and then stop at Vatnshellir Cave and Hellnar before continuing to Djupalonssandur beach. Before heading back to Reykjavik for the night, snap pictures of photographer-favorite Kirkjufell mountain. The third day brings you to the Golden Circle. See three of the region’s most popular attractions: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss waterfall. Spend the rest of the day visiting Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls and Reynisfjara black-sand beach. Spend the night in Vik. The fourth day is spent on a glacier adventure. Visit Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and an ice cave in Vatnajökull, one of the largest ice caps in Europe. Spend the night in the Skaftafell area. On the last day, visit Vatnajokull for a glacier hike. Make a second visit to some of the sights from Day Three, and stop at Fjadrargljufur Canyon. Conclude your tour with a drop-off at your Reykjavik hotel.

Take your time, savor the glacial and volcanic landscapes, and don’t stress about transportation or accommodations.
