Around Iceland Individual Tour

Immerse yourself in the warm embrace of water, steam, and the fabled night sky of the arctic summer. Feel yourself unwind with the Ritual, a unique seven-step experience crafted by generations of authentic Icelandic bathing culture.

Skógafoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, boasting a height of approximately 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. You can walk right up to it, but be prepared to get drenched. It's truly overwhelming to stand next to this powerful natural wonder. Due to the substantial amount of mist it generates, you'll often witness beautiful rainbows on sunny days.

The 40 metre (131 feet) tall Gljúfrabúi is hidden behind a considerable cliff which faces out towards Iceland’s South Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its effective ‘hiding place’, Gljúfrabúi is overlooked by most travellers, even though thousands of people visit Seljalandsfoss, less than a kilometre away, every day.
The route into the cavern is mildly challenging and you run the risk of getting wet, so only attempt to reach Gljúfrabúi if you are in a decent state of health and confident on your feet. It should only be attempted when there is no ice on the ground.

Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, and you can walk right up to, but be prepared to be drenched. It is just overwhelming standing next to it. Seeing that it produces a lot of drizzle then you will be able to see beautiful rainbows on sunny days.

With its enormous basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves, and stunning panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful example of Iceland’s black sand beaches.
Reynisdrangar is so amazing that it was featured in Season 7 of the HBO Series Game of Thrones; you can spot it in a few scenes shot ‘North of the Wall’.
The sea stacks themselves are home to thousands of nesting seabirds. Species that can be found here include puffins, fulmars, and guillemots, making it a must-see location for all birdwatchers out there.

Vik is the southernmost city on the island and one of the few that does not have a port. At the top of the hill stands the main attraction - a white church with a red roof. The church offers a panoramic view of the settlement, the beach and the basalt columns of Reynisdrangar. On the beach there is a statue of the Traveler: a man looking into the distance. It has it`s twin in the port of Hull, UK. The two monuments are facing each other, symbolizing the centuries-old trade alliance between Iceland and the British Kingdom.

The canyon was created by the forces of nature about 9,000 years ago, when meltwater made its way through the gorges at the end of the Ice Age. Its greatest depth in some places reaches up to 100 meters. The edges of the steep cliffs on both sides of the river seem to be one big puzzle, as if once a powerful force of nature separated them, filling the gap with the calm Fyadra River.

To see the canyon, you will have to walk uphill.

Its name is translated from Icelandic as "Black Waterfall". It owes its name to the black basalt columns that frame the water stream like a majestic throne. Geometrically correct, the pillars are like the creations of fantastic creatures. However, scientists have proven that it's all about physical processes. The appearance of the waterfall has inspired architects to create many architectural objects in Iceland with a design in the form of stepped pillars.
The hike from the Visitor Center to the waterfall is 1.5 km uphill.

During the excursion you sail among the huge icebergs in the picturesque scenery of Jökulsárlón. On the Zodiac we are able to cover large areas of the lagoon and get closer to the icebergs than on the amphibian. When possible the Zodiac goes almost all the way up to the glacier (as close as safe).

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is a natural wonder of our world formed by the constant melting and breaking of the glacier.
The lake has grown at varying rates because of glacial melting. It is now 1.5 kilometres away from the ocean’s edge and covers an area of about 18 km2. It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres (814 feet), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The Glacial Lagoon is part of Vatnajokull National Park.

Diamond Beach is a black sand beach located just beyond the bridge from the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. The ice pieces are the remnants of the large icebergs from the lagoon. The ice really sparkles in the sun, just like diamonds. They stand out so well in contrast to the black sand. You can find some really large chunks, along with lots of smaller ones. You can walk around them and take some awesome pictures.
Prepare to be amazed at the most popular beach in Iceland!​

In reality, it is a film set for an Icelandic movie that was never filmed, but you’d definitely be forgiven for mistaking it for the real thing. Built in 2010, the set is located on the land of a local farmer.

The most striking feature of the village is the buildings, which ape the architecture of the period magnificently. Guests can pry open the wooden doors and find themselves within a range of rooms that look almost indistinguishable from the real thing. But this is not the only piece of period detail; the settlement also comes equipped with a dungeon located beneath an enormous artificial boulder.

Vestrahorn, on the Stokksnes peninsula in Southeast Iceland, is one of the country’s most breathtaking mountains. With peaks reaching up to 454 metres (1490 ft), steep cliffs rising from the sides of a stunning lagoon, and black sand beaches all around, it promises to blow away anyone with an appreciation of stark natural beauty.

The Stokksnes peninsula also has an interesting history stretching back to the 9th Century, with Horn being one of the country’s first settlements; it was also a vital location of the British army during World War Two.

It's a great place to experience the isolated, quiet, beautiful charm of this island. Be aware, however, that the beach at Stokksnes is private, and has a small entrance fee, which allows the landowner to keep up the maintenance of the road.

This fishing village is located at the foot of the basalt pyramid mountain Bulandstindur. It is famous throughout Iceland for its stunning, almost sculptural beauty. According to local folklore, the mountain can grant wishes during the summer solstice and is the "energy center" for the entire country. Along the waterfront is a piece of art called "The Egg of Pleasant Bay," which is a replica of the eggs of 32 species of birds that nest in the area. This diversity of birds has become a tourist attraction in Djúpivogur and Papey Island.

A large city in the east of Iceland, located in a fertile valley. Not far from the city are two pearls of the country: the largest forest and a mysterious lake.

The forest covers 740 hectares and consists of more than 80 species of trees from all over the world. As for the lake, there are many reports that a monster snake lives in it. According to the legend, it is Lagarfleiótsormur, a cousin of the Loch Ness Monster. The Lagarfleut has been spoken of since 1345, which is 500 years earlier than Nessie, and the snake is still seen to this day.

Hengifoss waterfall stands at approximately 128 meters, ranking as the second-highest waterfall in Iceland, excluding those within the Morsárjökull glacier. Surrounded by distinctive basaltic strata, it features interposed layers of red clay. Geologists have uncovered fossilized trees within the strata, indicating warmer periods during the tertiary period. Downstream from Hengifoss, along the Hengifossá river, lies Litlanesfoss, a smaller waterfall encountered on the hike from the parking lot to Hengifoss. The river eventually flows into the legendary Lake Lagarfljót, known for the mythical sea wyrm Lagarfljótsormur.

A canyon with the largest number of basalt columns in Iceland and a stunning blue glacial river. It was created when once very powerful, glacial river made its way from the highlands to the north of the country. With the construction of a nearby hydroelectric power plant, the local landscape changed dramatically. When the river flows calmed down and the water level dropped, a stunningly beautiful canyon emerged.

You can hear it much earlier before you see it. And no wonder - it is the largest waterfall in Europe in terms of the average volume of water that the waterfall drops per second, with a height of 45 meters and a width of 100 meters. The water is almost always dark due to mineral deposits, and during floods, the river and its three waterfalls often get almost black from volcanic minerals.

This striking valley shaped like a horseshoe is said to be the footprint of the Norse god Odin's horse, according to an old legend. The dense forests of willow and birch create a unique landscape here, unmatched by anything else in Iceland. The canyon contains Eyján ("Island"), a 25-meter-tall rock formation that splits Asbirgi for nearly half of its length, and Botnstjörn, a small lake.

Situated on the periphery of Skjálfandi Bay, the town of Húsavík is widely acknowledged as one of the world's top spots for whale watching. Húsavík offers the best chance of seeing whales anywhere in Iceland. In the previous year, whales were observed on 98% of whale-watching excursions.

Because of the various whale species that migrate through Husavik's bay, the town got its name. Apart from them, this city has an intriguing two-story whale museum and an old wooden church that is worth seeing. Don't forget to immerse yourself in Geosea's distinctive and healing sea baths.

Located in the northeast of the country, Godafoss, also known as the "Waterfall of the Gods," is one of Iceland's most famous natural treasures. It is an essential component of Skjalfandafljot, Iceland's fourth-largest river, and is rich in both beauty and history. Godafoss tumbles over a curved edge that is about thirty meters (30 feet) wide and descends 39 feet (12 meters) into a calm and scenic pool.

The city is located on the longest fjord in Iceland, Eyjafjordur, where you can watch dolphins and seals all year round. Sometimes you can see killer whales, blue whales, and fin whales, which are not frequent visitors here anymore.

In the city, you should visit the Lutheran Church on the hill, known for its stained glass windows, and the best botanical garden in Iceland. The Hof Cultural Center building is also worth your attention, as it hosts music and theater performances and various exhibitions.

Here is your chance to see the incredible Eyjafjord Humpbacks in their natural habitat. The warmth of the summer sun brings vibrant life and plentitude of food to the fjord and following it, in a feeding frenzy, come the larger-than-life Humpbacks. Our specially trained whale watching guides are experts at spotting them and telling you all about their behaviour, any question you have, we promise you an answer.

Our ship is the only high speed, specially modified, whale watching ship in Iceland. Capable of carrying 200 persons with spectacular views from our “cinema styled” viewing platforms. Its speed guarantees availability of whale watching tours from Akureyri, where ever the whales might be located in the deepest fjord in Iceland. With ample indoor and outdoor seating, bar and cafeteria, you can be sure that the ride is comfortable and pleasant even at speed.

Enormous sulfur springs and geothermal mud, lunar-scale volcanic craters, recently formed lava fields, and verdant shallows brimming with birds are just a few of the breathtaking sights and delicate landscapes of the remarkable Lake Myvatn region, which is among the nation's most geologically active areas. Lava overflowed the wetlands during volcanic eruptions, creating the lake's pseudo-craters. These magnificent formations were sculpted out of the earth by explosions brought on by the cold water meeting the boiling lava.

Once upon a time, as a result of a volcanic eruption, a huge lava pool was formed here. Heading toward Lake Mývatn, it was exhausted and froze, leaving behind these strange caves, pillars and towers of lava that resemble the remains of a medieval castle ruin. In Icelandic folklore, this valley is the gateway to hell. In Nordic Christian legends, it is the place where Satan landed after being expelled from heaven and created the "Catacombs of Hell".

Hverfjall is a beautifully crater formed 2,500 years ago. It is about 1 km in diameter and 140 meters deep. The round shape of the crater is broken by a landslide that occurred in its southern part during the eruption. Craters of the same type as Hverfjall are quite rare in the world. If you are going to visit it on your own, keep in mind that the crater rim can be reached only by two trails, which are marked with signs, and it is strictly forbidden to climb or descend by other routes.

It used to be a great place for swimming, but due to the great volcanic activity, the water temperature has risen and now it is very hot there. Romantic scenes from Game of Thrones with Jon Snow and Ygritte were filmed in the cave.

Due to the high acidity caused by the geothermal processes of the neighboring Krapla volcano, there is little vegetation in the Naumaskard Valley. But it is unexpectedly colorful: mineral deposits in the mud fields and rocks have painted the valley in bright colors of the rainbow. In the geothermal zone of Hverir itself, there are many steaming mineral formations and boiling mud cauldrons surrounded by sulfur crystals of different colors.

The Mývatn Natural Baths are a set of geothermal pools and steam baths located in the Lake Mývatn area. Opened in 2004, Mývatn Natural Baths is the northern spa of southwestern Iceland's world-famous Blue Lagoon Spa. It is the only swimming pool of this size in the area and is growing in popularity.

The Myvatn natural baths are built around a large lagoon and have a temperature of approximately 36 to 40 degrees Celsius (97 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). The water here is rich in minerals, especially sulfur, which is said to be good for respiratory and skin problems. There are also two steam chambers located directly above the bubbling geothermal water. The temperature there is about 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) and the humidity is about 100 percent. There is also a hot tub, separate children's pool and restaurant on site.

Within the valley of Víðidalur, there is a gorge known as Kolugljúfur or Kolugil in the great salmon river Víðidalsá. The Kolugljúfur canyon is only a short stroll from the main road, so you won't even need to worry about making additional travel arrangements to get there. It is one kilometer long and 40–50 meters deep. There is a collection of seven or eight small waterfalls called Kolufoss waterfall. When traveling to the northern region of the country, this is a place that one should not miss. Stopping here will be worthwhile due to the breathtaking view, and you will undoubtedly take some amazing Instagram-worthy photos in this area with its green and brown surroundings surrounding the frothy white waters of the gorge.

Reachable via a footpath, the Grabrok Crater is situated approximately 170 meters (558 feet) above the ground. Although the hike can be challenging due to its steepness, there are steps built on part of it.

Grabrok is a part of the volcanic system Ljosufjoll. It extends all the way from the Berserker lava field in the northern Snaefellsnes peninsula, across the actual Ljosufjoll mountains. One of Iceland's longest volcanic systems, it stretches 90 km (56 miles) in total. This volcanic system had its most recent eruption roughly a millennium ago.

The small fishing town of Arnarstapi was once a bustling port and trading center serving the West Coast. Today, it is still a busy harbor in the summer months, serving private small fishing and cruise ships. Near the town there is a trail along the rocky shore, at the beginning of which you will be greeted by a stone giant, Bardur, a half-troll, half-man. After passing him, the path will lead to an unusual rock called Gatkletur, which translates as "a rock with a hole in it."

Vatnskellir (from the Icelandic water cave), 200 meters long, was opened in 2011. It has 2 galleries with lava formations, which are connected by a narrow spiral staircase. Further, on the coast, other basalt formations, the Londrangar rocks, rise from the sea to a height of 61 and 75 meters. They are closely circled by birds, and among them you can find dead ends!

It's hard to believe that in the past, and even now, farmers do not use the pastures near the rocks, as they are believed to belong to the elves who live there.

Iceland can offer its visitors not only the beauty of nature, but also its healing power. To experience it, we suggest visiting the Blue Lagoon, a unique geothermal spring in the middle of a black lava field, which is known not only for its milky blue mineral waters but also for its spa treatments. National Geographic rated it as one of the 25 Wonders of the World.

The cost is dynamic and depends on the time of entry to the spa complex and the number of available slots.
