Set out on a journey full of dramatic contrasts. Come to know Iceland; a place where steaming lava fields reflect a volcanic nature and massive glaciers sculpt mountains and valleys, leaving behind thundering waterfalls and plunging fjords.
Begin in the capital city of Reykjavik. Get to know your fellow travelers during an Icelandic lunch at a popular local restaurant before checking into your hotel later in the afternoon. Once you're settled, join a local expert for a walking tour of The Old City featuring the city hall, the harbor, the Parliament building, and the nearby cathedral dating from 1796.
Travel the Golden Circle and experience renowned natural wonders. Marvel at the double-cascade Gullfoss waterfall, the explosive Geysir thermal area, and the famous Thingvellir National Park where you'll stand upon the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Your day ends with a visit to Friheimar's stud farm and greenhouse cultivation center. Discover how pesticide-free produce is grown with the aid of geothermal energy. After, learn about the tradition of breeding Icelandic show horses before returning to Reykjavik.
Explore the western side of Iceland's coastline and visit Akranes, an old fishing town at the base of Akrafjall Mountain. Don't forget to capture a photo of one of the most picturesque lighthouses* in the world. Perhaps, you'll climb up the stairs to take in its stunning views. Listen to mysterious stories about this area, or take a leisurely walk along the historical harbor if you choose. Continue to Deildartunguhver, the highest-flowing hot spring in Europe. Stroll along several wooden walkways and observation points to explore the hot springs safely. Listen to local stories and legends while visiting Barnafoss, which translates to "the Children's Falls." Your day comes to an end in Reykholt. This evening enjoy dinner on own in nearby Borgarnes.
Begin your day with stunning views on your way to Olafsvik, located in the northern part of the Snfellsnes Peninsula. Spend some time exploring this small fishing town and enjoy lunch on your own before joining a whale watching cruise.** Experience an authentic trip in the Breiafjordur Bay, which is one of the best spots to have a good chance to experience amazing whales in nature. Take in views of Mount Kirkjufell with its iconic shape and freestanding form; this is one of the most photographed landscapes in Iceland. Witness Kirkjufellsfoss, a beautiful series of waterfalls, before returning to Reykholt for an evening at leisure.
Learn about geothermal renewable energy on a visit to Hellisheiavirkjun, the largest power station in Iceland and the second largest geothermal power station in the world. Visit the Lava Exhibition Center and delve into Iceland's past and present volcanic eruptions. Afterward, witness Seljalandsfoss, a rushing waterfall where you may walk behind the water for unique views from the inside out. Arrive in Vik, Iceland's southernmost village, and one of the most remarkable spots in Iceland.
Drive along the scenic south shore to the Skogar Museum. Discover its turf-built houses and its collection of farm and domestic artifacts. Nearby, find the impressive Skogafoss waterfall, one of the tallest in Iceland. Behold Reynisfjara, a black volcanic sand beach scattered with caves and surrounded by basalt columns and cliffs. The beach is rich with bird life, such as the fulmar, black guillemot, razorbill, and gannet. You might also spot some nesting puffins*** along the unique natural rock formations at Dyrholaey, a volcanic peninsula towering over the ocean. Cap off your day with a visit to Solheimajokull Glacier, part of Iceland's fourth largest ice cap. Take in its dramatic, blue-white ice, rugged crevasses, and stunning views.
This morning, travel through the area of Vatnajokull, Iceland's largest National Park. On your way to Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon, marvel at the vistas and snowy mountain peaks as you board a cruise on an amphibian boat**** along the huge icebergs. Explore this extraordinary landscape as you search for seals swimming in cold waters.
Today, make your way back to Reykjavik while taking in stunning backdrops as you approach the Reykjanes Peninsula. Visit a local studio and learn about Icelandic traditions of wool dyeing using natural ingredients and traditional techniques. Later, visit the scenic Sky Lagoon***** and experience the Icelandic tradition of geothermal bathing. Take a dip in the warm, mineral-rich waters and enjoy sweeping ocean views. This evening, join your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant and reflect on your adventures in the Land of Fire and Ice.
