Epic 7-Day Summer Vacation Package with the Inside the Volcano Tour & Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon

Iceland greets you in all its splendor as you land, displaying the vast, open terrain of the Keflavikurhraun lava fields. The airport shuttle bus will take you to the northernmost capital in the world, Reykjavik, so your trip will be as hassle-free as possible.

The highway lies between the harsh waters of Faxafloi Bay and a lava field ranging from ink black to mossy green, with the mountains as a backdrop and the conical Keilir mountain peak as the king of it all.

You could stop at the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on your way to Iceland's capital city. This world-renowned spa is known for its healing waters, vivid azure colors, and luxurious treatments. It's in the middle of a moss-covered lava field, giving it an otherworldly atmosphere.

If you add the Blue Lagoon, it will be arranged according to your flights. If there's no time to visit the lagoon today, it can be added to another day. Your travel consultant will be able to arrange this for you. There's plenty to see and do in Reykjavik if you have extra free time.

After checking in to your accommodations, you'll have a chance to get a taste of the capital. Go for a walk in the old town, get some gourmet slow-roast coffee at a specialty coffee hut, or visit the always-vibrant live music bars.

Various museums in Reykjavik detail the rich history of this land during its nearly 1150 years of settlement. The National Museum of Iceland provides a comprehensive overview of the nation's history, from its Viking origins to modern times, with artifacts and displays that tell tales of Iceland's rich heritage. Just a short distance away, the Settlement Exhibition offers a window into Reykjavik's earliest days, with well-preserved remnants of a 10th-century longhouse. 

There will undoubtedly be something for you in the city by the bay to occupy your time!

After a fantastic introduction to Iceland, you'll retire to your Reykjavik accommodation for the evening.

On day five, you'll take an exciting adventure to the Thrihnukagigur volcano. A driver will pick you up in Reykjavik and take you to the site.

Thrihnukagigur stands over a dark, empty lava field near the beautiful Blafjoll mountain. When you arrive on-site, you'll start with a 45-minute walk to the volcano. Your well-versed guides will then take you down into the magma chamber in a suspended elevator so that you can view the great space as you head down.

You'll descend 393 feet (120 meters) into the empty chamber of this great, dormant volcano. Its ground area is the size of a football field, a cathedral of nature's grandeur.

In the past, the burning lava created patterns and lines of color in the vast, high walls that lead up to the kettle-shaped opening. The vibrant hues within the chamber, ranging from deep reds to brilliant oranges and rich purples, paint a vivid tapestry that narrates the volcanic history of Thrihnukagigur. Stalactite-like formations hang from the ceiling, while the intricate layering on the walls reveals the intense heat and pressure dynamics that once raged within this now silent chamber.

The chamber's opening is only 13 square feet (4 square meters), giving the great space the appearance of the throne room of the mountain kings of old lore. The vastness inside, contrasting against such a modest entrance, amplifies the chamber's sense of mystery. As you wander into its depths, it feels like you're stepping into an ancient world, untouched by time, where nature's artistic prowess is fully displayed.

Your expert guide will share fascinating insights about the volcano for an immersive and informative experience amid your otherworldly surroundings. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the magma chamber's surreal atmosphere and take photos for lasting memories.

Your unforgettable experience ends with an elevator ride back up and out of the chamber. You'll then walk back to the starting point.

Afterward, there will be drinks, refreshments, and maybe some traditional Icelandic meat soup! When you've had your fill of food and fun, a driver will take you back to the city.

Today, you can enjoy Reykjavik city and its many cafes, restaurants,  museums, and shops. You can even check out the geothermal pools, much adored by locals, or go up the tower of Hallgrimskirkja church. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Check out the Arbaer Open Air Museum, which offers a glimpse into the city's past through its preserved historic buildings. The cosmopolitan Laugavegur Street beckons with its chic boutiques and vibrant eateries. 
If you need a moment of tranquility, the peaceful ambiance of Tjornin, the city's central lake, is the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by. Every corner of Reykjavik is an invitation to discover something special.

If you haven't had enough adventure yet, choose from one of three exciting trips for the day. 
Many marine animals reside in the waters just off Reykjavik, and today, you could go on a whale-watching tour to see the whales that call Faxafloi Bay their home. Minke whales, humpbacks, and playful dolphins are frequently spotted in these cold Atlantic waters.

With the guidance of expert crew members, you'll get a chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, an unforgettable experience.

Or, you could join a horse riding tour in the beautiful countryside surrounding the city. The Icelandic horse is a small and friendly creature, making this tour perfect for beginners and experts.

If you'd rather get to know the city from up high, you could take a geothermal helicopter ride over Reykjavik and the nearby countryside. Enjoy your last day in style, high above the ground.

From this unique vantage point, you'll have the opportunity to see the vibrant cityscape, geothermal hot springs, and stunning natural landscapes that surround Iceland's capital, offering a perspective that few visitors get to experience.

Spend your evening in the city. Seek some good music in the bars and other venues to experience Reykjavik's artistic side.

After another fantastic day, you can head to your accommodation in the city.
