Thingvellir National Park

2h
Admission ticket included

Pickup 08:30 1 hour drive from Reykjavík to Þingvellir National Park. We tour the renowned Golden Circle, including visiting National Park and Rift Valley at Þingvellir, where the North American and European tectonic plates drift apart. In addition, the ancient Icelandic parliament was established there in 930. It is, therefore, a sacred place for Icelanders.

Geysir

Next we head to the Geysir hot spring area (1 hour drive from Þingvellir), 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 Geysir is no longer active, but another hot spring, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes. Here the guests have the opportunity to eat lunch.

Gullfoss Waterfall

We then visit Gullfoss next. Gullfoss, Iceland's iconic waterfall, is a breathtaking natural wonder located along the Hvítá River. Plunging into a rugged canyon, the falls create a stunning two-tiered cascade, captivating visitors with its thunderous roar and misty ambiance. The name "Golden Falls" is fitting, as the waters often take on a golden hue in the sunlight. Accessible viewing platforms offer an up-close encounter with the sheer power and beauty of Gullfoss, making it a must-see destination for those exploring Iceland's awe-inspiring landscapes. From Gullfoss we travel back to Reykjavík (about 2 hour drive)

Day 4: South Shore

4 stops
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Acommodation in Reykjavík

Seljalandsfoss

3h
Admission ticket included

Pickup 08:30 On this day, we will enjoy a ride along the south coast of Iceland. This coastal road offers views of glacier tongues, waterfalls, rugged hills, black sand beaches, and its famous volcanoes. We travel to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall (about 2 hour drive from Reykjavík), with a height of 60 m. You can walk behind the waterfall but dress well, as the water mist behind the waterfall can make you wet.

Skogafoss

Next, we admire the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall. It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country, 60 m high and 25 m wide. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is usually visible on sunny days.

Reynisfjara Beach

Next, we stop by the black sand beach at Reynisfjara to view the geological formation and the smashing waves. Be careful not to step too close as the waves can be dangerous.

Vik

Before heading back to Reykjavík, we visit Vík í Mýrdal, a seafront village that sits in the shadow of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which covers the Katla volcano. Drive back to Reykjavík is about 3 hours with some stops on the way.

Day 5: Whale Watching Tour

1 stop
Meals: Not included

Reykjavik

Explore the whales of Reykjavík under the excellent guidance of marine biologist guides and learn all about the incredible wildlife that call Iceland their home.

Magnificent landscapes surround the area and add a unique contrast to the vast ocean, where the spectacular views on the horizon are certainly not to be missed. You board the whale watching boat through the Visitor Centre, where you will find several outdoor viewing platforms, a heated indoor saloon with large viewing windows, a cafeteria where you can buy light refreshments, toilet facilities and a cloak room where you can borrow our blankets and overalls for the duration of the tour.
