Reykjavik / Arrival Day

We highly recommend arriving on the MORNING of October 8th! We’ll be organizing a trip to the Blue Lagoon before arriving at the hotel for a 3 PM check in. To participate in this excursion, you will need to arrive before 10:00 AM, 10/8. The group will be picked up at the airport in a private vehicle and whisked to the Blue Lagoon for a dip and lunch before moving to the hotel.

For guests arriving later on 10/8, transfers to the hotel in Reykjavik will be provided using the FlyBus system. This system is a simple, frequent bus transporting passengers from the airport to the door of our hotel in Reykjavik.

The remainder of the day will be yours to rest and meet your fellow travelers before meeting for our welcome dinner at an excellent Reykjavik restaurant.

Reykjavik / Golden Circle / Reykjavik

Today we'll hop into our comfortable, private van and head out to experience the famous Golden Circle, a route that packs in geysers, hot springs, and jaw-dropping waterfalls like Gullfoss. We'll stop at a local horse farm where you'll get to meet Iceland's unique breed of small, resilient horses, as well as a quick stop at a tomato farm that stays warm all year thanks to geothermal heat. After free time for dinner, we’ll cap off the day with the Imagine Peace Tower Tower opening ceremony, a light and music event inspired by John Lennon's vision for world peace.

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Reykjavik / South Coast

Get ready for a day packed with nature's finest spectacles. We'll start our journey along the South Coast visiting Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, two waterfalls each stunning in its own way. Next, we'll hit the black sands of Reynisfjara, where powerful waves crash against basalt columns. Then, it’s off to Myrdalsjokull glacier. This isn't just any glacier; it actually sits on top of an active volcano named Katla. To top off an already epic day, we’ve arranged a special Jeep Tour that will take us to the Dragon Glass caves, a surreal landscape of ash and ice that looks like it’s right out of a fantasy series. We'll wrap up the day heading to our hotel, which is conveniently located right by a glacial lagoon.

South Coast

Today, we continue our adventure with a full day tour of the South Coast. We’ll start in Vatnajökull, one of Europe's largest national parks. We'll embark on a unique Zodiac boat ride in the Glacier Lagoon, giving you a closer look at the icebergs and glacial formations. Our next stops will include the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon and Kirkjubæjarklaustur, a village rich in folklore and history. At Skaftafell National Park, we’ll marvel at the mix of glaciers, mountains, and coastal areas that make up this multifaceted landscape. Established in 1967, the park has been a gathering point for nature lovers for decades.

South Coast / Reykjavik / Akureyri / Northern Lights

Today we’ll say goodbye to the South Coast as we head back to Reykjavik, but not before making a few scenic stops along the way. Once we hit Reykjavik, we’ll take a quick 45-minute flight that takes us to the charming town of Akureyri in the north. This northern town has its own special blend of cozy charm and awe-inspiring landscapes. In the evening we’ll head away from the city's glow to try and (hopefully) catch the magical Northern Lights, a natural spectacle caused by solar particles colliding with Earth's atmosphere.

Akureyri / Dettifoss / Lake Myvatn / Akureyri

Today we’ll travel out of town, and straight into the awe-inspiring nature that this part of the country is known for. You’ll take in incredible views of Dettifoss Waterfall, the most powerful waterfall in all of Europe. From here, we’ll visit Lake Myvatn, known for its boiling mud, lava formations and diversity of flora and fauna. The region we will visit is also considered by many to be the most beautiful in the entire country as it is surrounded by mountains, canyons and cliffs in every direction. Our lunch today will be at a local produce farm set among this breathtaking scenery where we will dine on fresh local dishes prepared by our friendly hosts. Upon returning to Akureyrki in the evening, you’ll have some free time if you wish to spend the evening out and about, visiting any of the local restaurants, cafes or bars.
