DAY 1 - ARRIVE IN ICELAND  |  GOLDEN CIRCLE

• Early morning arrival in Iceland, your driver/guide will be waiting in the Arrival Hall at the airport (KEF) to start your adventure. 

• You waste no time and the first stop is the amazing rift between the European and American continents at Thingvellir. This is also the founding place of the Viking parliament, the oldest continuous parliament in the world.

• On you go into the European continent to Geysir, the hot spring area known for its spouting hot spring Strokkur and a myriad of other hot springs.

• The last stop of the day is at Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall. One of Iceland's most treasured natural phenomenon. Return to Hotel Geysir which is a great place to watch for Northern Lights.

• Overnight at Hotel Geysir or similar. 

DAY 2 - WATERFALLS & GLACIERS

• After hopefully a good green lighted night, you start up towards the south coast and its black beaches. As you get close, you’ll visit the famous Seljalandsfoss, and it’s less known, but even more interesting brother Gljufrarbui. You are now moving into the southern mountain region with it’s majestic glacier, one of which, Solheimajokull, is beckoning us to come visit. We’ll trek upon the glacier, see how it moves and pushes, cracks and rejuvenates as it finishes it’s glacial cycle. You will give the Northern Lights a second chase if weather allows in the town of Vik for the evening.

• Overnight at Hotel Vik or similar. (B)

DAY 3 - BLACK SANDS AND MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS​

• You will use the morning exploring the volcanic cones and granite pillars of the black Reynisfjara and hopefully enjoy the endless view along the south coast of black sands at Dyrholaey. As you start to head towards Reykjavik, you will stop at Skogarfoss, Hveragerdi and pass over the geothermal ridge of Hengill before checking into your hotel in the heart of downtown Reykjavik.​

• Overnight in Hotel Konsulat or similar. (B)
  
  Optional** There is an opportunity to grab a Northern Light cruise
  this evening from Reykjavik harbor this night (not included) and even possibly add a night or two to your tour. Either way, keep your eyes peeled, as northern lights are still possible to spot in the city.

​

DAY 4 - DEPARTURE

• Free day in Reykjavik. Use it for a quick spa visit or some last minute shopping and exploration of the city. (B)​
