The northernmost capital of the world seems infused with vivid colour, from the bustling byway of Laugavegur to the enthusiasm of the city's friendly locals. Spend time exploring Iceland's Viking heritage, pay tribute to the sun and snap a selfie in front of The Sun Voyager or stroll around the lively Old Harbour before meeting your Guide and fellow travellers for a Welcome Reception to kick-start your love affair with Iceland.

Today we go Into the Glacier! This adventure will lead you to the untouched beauty and raw nature of Langjokull, Iceland’s second largest glacier. Enjoy the opportunity of a lifetime as we journey up the white slopes and go deep inside the man-made ice tunnels leading to the blue heart of the glacier. We will ride in modified glacier vehicles specially made to explore the glacier environment and enjoy the view as we drive on top of the ice cap. Our experienced guides will lead the way and make sure that everyone is both enjoying themselves and learning the basics of glacier knowledge.

Head along the rugged shores of Snæfellsnes Peninsula, whose geological wonders you'll get to explore later. See pretty fishing villages and admire your serene surrounds, characterised by lava fields, volcanoes, glaciers, springs, and yellow and black sand beaches. We will be visiting Budir Church, Arnarstapi, Kirkjufell Mountain, Londrangar, and Djupalonssandur Beach. Also today we will be visiting a Lava Cave. The area all around the glacier contains hundreds of lava tubes, which makes the area really special for those interested in caves.

Mother Nature's magic touch can be seen around every turn on today's exploration of Iceland's 'Golden Circle'. Visit the 'Golden Waterfall' of Gullfoss, saved at the turn of the last century by the tenacity of a farmer's daughter who threatened to throw herself into its depths if it was developed for hydroelectric power. Then, head to the world-famous hot spring area of Geysir and see Strokkur shoot a spectacular plume of water and steam high into the air. You'll see first-hand how the movements of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates have carved into the Earth's crust, in the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park, before stopping at Frideimar Greenhouse. 

​

At Frideimar, visitors gain an insight into the processes of greenhouse horticulture, with a short and informative talk on the subject – and in fact it is quite remarkable that it should be possible to grow vegetables in this cold climate, by creating warm Mediterranean conditions, all year round, through the long dark winter. The Atrium also includes an exhibition about the use of geothermal heating in Icelandic horticulture.

Jokulsarlon iceberg lagoon is Iceland’s deepest and most spectacular glacial lake. You’ll see plenty of broken blue icebergs at Jökulsárlón – and the contrast against the white backdrop of the distant glacier and the black sand of the lagoon’s beach is truly other-worldly. We will also be making stops at the Black Sand Beaches in Vik and in Skaftafell.

Take a Super Jeep Tour, an excursion to feel the adrenaline and experience this spectacular mean of transportation. The itinerary will be chosen according to the weather conditions but for sure you are not going to miss fun and beautiful landscapes! Before returning to Reykjavik, we will make picturesque stops at Skogafoss and Seljalandfoss Waterfalls before a bath in the Blue Lagoon. 

The Blue Lagoon was formed in 1976 during operation at the nearby geothermal power plant. In the years that followed, people began to bathe in the unique water and apply the silica mud to their skin. On its way to the surface, the water picks up silica and minerals, before emerging at a soothing 38°C (100°F). Perfect for a relaxing and re-energizing bath.
