Day2 Snaefellsnes Peninsula
  • Breakfast
  • Kirkjufell Mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall
    The mountain-church was named after its shape, which resembles the dome of a church. The perfect proportions made it the most photogenic mountain in Iceland. And in most cases, photographers try to capture both the small Kirkjufell waterfall and the beauty herself in the camera lens.
  • Vatnshellir cave and Lóndrangar rock formations

    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.

  • Observe the seals at Ytri Tunga Beach

    You should definitely turn off the road at this spot for two reasons. Firstly, unlike most beaches in Iceland, it has light golden sand, not black, which is very rare. Secondly, a large colony of seals lives here. They play and hunt in the bay, and also rest on the warm rocks with their families. The best time to visit them is in the summer months, when there are much more chances to see them.

  • The Black Church of Budir

    Located on the south side of Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Búðakirkja is a local parish church that dates back to 1703. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this quaint black church is one of the most photographed churches in Iceland. Búðakirkja is fully operational and has a historic graveyard too.

  • Fishing village Arnarstapi and Gatklettur Arch

    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."

  • Thingvellir national park

    Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir) is one of the best geological wonders in Iceland. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and Game of Thrones film location is only a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík. Explore an epic Icelandic landscape, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet!

    Þingvellir means assembly fields and in the year 930 AD, Iceland’s historic democratic parliament – one of the first in the world – was founded there. Most Icelandic people regard Þingvellir as a sacred place, a place of great beauty and an incredible stepping stone in their history.

  • Geysir Geothermal Park

    Although the Great Geysir is less active these days, it did lend its name to hot springs all over the world. It was the first geyser described in a printed source.

  • Gullfoss Falls

    Gullfoss (translated to ‘Golden Falls’) is one of Iceland’s most iconic and beloved waterfalls, found in the Hvítá river canyon in Southwest Iceland. In sunny weather, regardless of the season, an incredibly beautiful rainbow stands above it.

  • Secret Lagoon Hot Spring
    Opening hours: Daily 10:00-20:00

    The Secret Lagoon is a man-made pool fed by naturally occurring hot springs in the geothermal area next to the village of Flúðir in southern Iceland. It is the oldest pool in the country, and one of the most popular for locals and tourists alike. The pool was constructed in 1891 and is officially the oldest swimming pool in the entire country. Icelanders simply call it 'the old pool' or 'gamla laugin'. There are changing rooms and lockers, showers, and a cafe selling light snacks. Towels and swimsuits can be rented.

Day4 Waterfalls and black beaches
  • Breakfast
  • Check-out
  • Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

    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.

  • Gljufrabui Waterfall

    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 Waterfall

    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.

  • 12:30 - ATV Black Beach Safari and the Plane Wreck
    Difficulty level: Easy
    Guiding language: Eng.

    The guide will lead the group to the stunning coastline to witness breathtaking views of the surrounding area. You’ll marvel at the views of Dyrhólaey, a peninsula that is the southernmost tip of the country, and the marvellous Mýrdalsjökull glacier in the distance. After leaving the beach, the group will head to the famous Sólheimasandur plane wreck. This relic has been resting in the sand since 1973. Following the plane, you will drive to the Jökulsá river and up the foot of the mountain.

    Please note: A valid driver’s license is required to drive a quad bike.

  • Dyrhólaey peninsula and black arch
    Once you are on top in the higher area of Dyrhólaey you will have a breathtaking view to all directions. To the north you see Mýrdalsjökull glacier, to the east you will see the beautiful black lava seastacks Reynisdrangar and to the west you can view the endless black coastline and then in front of the peninsula there is a huge black arch of lava reaching out into the sea which the peninsula takes its name from. Dyrhólaey literally means "the hill island with the door hole". It's 120 m high and you are able to walk the arch or the bridge if you are not afraid of heights. Up there you can also find a spectacular and big "castle shaped" lighthouse.
  • Reynisfjara Black Beach

    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.

  • The Village of Vík (or Vík í Mýrdal)

    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.

Day5 South coast and glaciers
  • Breakfast
  • Check-out
  • Skaftafetl National Park

    Skaftafetl, together with another national park, Vatnajökull, make up the largest protected area in Europe. Sunny weather, atypical for the south of Iceland, is a constant occurrence here. So don't be surprised when you see a tender birch forest and bright colors of heather fields. Even higher above sea level, the landscape changes to a desert of black sand, and then to the Skaftafellsjökull glacier, a volcano and a mountain, lakes with ice and ice caves. The pearl of this park is the Svartifoss waterfall.

  • Vatnajökull Glacier

    It is the largest glacier in Iceland, covering 8% of the country's territory. The ice thickness in some places reaches 1 km. Like most glaciers in Iceland, there are several volcanoes lurking beneath it. Only a part of it, the tongue of the Vatnajökull glacier, the so-called "dead ice," is located in the Skaftafell National Park. These are the edges isolated from the main glacier, which, unfortunately, do not grow or renew, but gradually melt.

  • Svartifoss waterfall

    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.

  • Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

    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.

  • The Diamond beach

    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!​

  • Zodiac Boat Tour on the Glacial Lagoon

    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).

  • Heimaey - the Northern Pompeii
    Vestmannaeyjar is home to around 4,500 people, and eight million puffins every summer. Many millions of other birds migrate there for breeding and feeding. Most people on the island live off fishing. They hold an annual festival. People are then allowed to catch a few puffins to share at the festival, or to eat at home.

      During the trip, you will see a lot of wildlife including seabirds such as fulmars, wacky whales, puffins and gannets. If you're lucky, you might also see whales and seals.

    • Storhofdi puffin view point shelter

      Storhofdi puffin view point shelter in the Westman Islands is an excellent spot for observing puffins. Here, you can not only relish breathtaking views of the ocean and cliffs, where numerous puffin birds reside, but also gain insights into the lives of these fascinating birds.

      Known as one of the largest breeding colonies of puffins globally, the Westman Islands host around 1.1 million of these charming birds. Puffins are easily recognizable by their vibrant beaks and distinctive red feet. Despite their seemingly awkward appearance in flight and on land, these small creatures are adept swimmers and skilled hunters, particularly when it comes to catching small fish.

      Immerse yourself in the world of puffins and enjoy the wonders of nature at this remarkable site in the Westman Islands.

  • Eldfell - Iceland's Youngest Volcano

    It was 1.55 am on January 23rd 1973 when a huge volcanic eruption began without any sign of warning on the outskirts of Vestmannaeyjar town on Heimaey Island, south of Iceland. It forced the entire population to evacuate their homes and set sail to mainland Iceland. A large number of buildings were buried under lava and ash, many were completely destroyed but others were later unearthed and saved.

  • Ferry from Westman Islands

    Since Vestmannaeyjar are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean you can get to the mainland by taking the ferry.

Day7 The colored mountains of Landmannalaugar
  • Breakfast
  • Landmannalaugar by super trucks

    The icelandic highlands are the last true wilderness of Europe. A vast area ravaged by volcanoes and glaciers, carved out by glacial rivers and lava flows. Visiting Landmannalaugar is a step into this world, a super jeep tour taking you on a day trip through Fjallabak nature reserve feels like being an explorer of a new century or the star of your own science fiction epic. Just traveling the road leading to Landmannalaugar through the lava fields and then reaching the rhyolite mountains is a dreamlike experience. Whether you choose to bathe in the geothermal pools or use this as a starting point for a day hike or anything in between just reaching the area is an accomplishment in itself and worth a day tour.
