Before you embark on your adventures today, you have an incredible opportunity to take a once-in-a-lifetime tour. You can go on a one-hour helicopter tour over the Geldinadalur volcanic eruption. 

You’ll depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport and, after admiring the colorful capital and barren Reykjanes peninsula from above, make your way to the Geldinadalur volcano. 

Few adventures can compare to witnessing fire and lava rupture from the earth from such an all-encompassing perspective. The tour even includes a short landing by the site.

If you don’t want to take the helicopter tour, enjoy a relaxing breakfast before heading into the city center. 
If you didn’t explore the city yesterday, there are many central landmarks to visit. Don’t miss the Perlan observation deck, where you can get great panoramic views of the whole city.

Another option is to spend time in one of the city’s many outdoor swimming pools. These locations are suitable for children and adults alike, and you’ll often find Icelanders relaxing in hot tubs as a place to discuss the day’s affairs.

Another fantastic option is to walk along the coast in the Vesturbaer region, where you can catch great views of the adjacent Reykjanes peninsula.

Or you could check out the peaceful area of Seltjarnarnes and take a walk to the picturesque Grotta lighthouse on the end of the peninsula, framed by the mountains of the Snaefellsnes peninsula on a clear day.

Instead, You could join a horse-riding tour where your driver will take you outside Reykjavik to a local stable. Here, you can ride through the rugged Icelandic countryside on the back of a charming Icelandic horse.

Please note that the minimum age requirement is 12 years old for the horse-riding tour. You’ll retire for the night in your Reykjavik accommodation.
 

On the eighth day of your summer vacation in Iceland, you will travel to Southwest Iceland, stopping at some incredible sights along the way. You'll also join an exciting whale-watching tour included in your itinerary.

After bidding farewell to the northern town of Akureyri, you will head towards the quaint village of Hauganes in the stunning Eyjafjordur fjord.

Hauganes is a beautiful area, so take pictures of the adjacent fjords and enjoy the surroundings. Hauganes is renowned for its deep-rooted fishing traditions, with the residents mainly focusing on fishing and fish processing, offering an insight into Iceland's coastal way of life.

Moreover, the village has a sea-angling component that lets you fish for dinner between sightings of dolphins and puffins. As you wander through its narrow streets, you'll discover colorful houses, a quaint harbor dotted with fishing boats, and panoramic vistas that showcase the region's unspoiled beauty.

You will join a whale-watching tour from Hauganes Harbor and head out to sea searching for breaching whales.

Aboard a comfortable boat, the adventure begins as you venture into the crystal-clear waters of the Eyjafjordur fjord, home to a diverse array of majestic marine creatures.

Expert guides will share captivating insights into the lives of these gentle giants as you keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of them. You may see humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, and seabirds on this unforgettable wildlife encounter.

On your way south, you'll also stop off on the Vatnsnes peninsula to visit the much-photographed rock formation of Hvitserkur, which sits just off the coast of the peninsula. This 49-foot (15-meter) high rock formation rises out from the sea.

There is much discussion over what the rock formation looks like, with some saying an elephant, drinking from the sea, and others saying a dragon.

You will then hit the road and go to your accommodation for the night in West Iceland.

On the 11th day of your summer vacation in Iceland, you will take a once-in-a-lifetime tour of a dormant volcano's magma chamber.

No trip to Iceland is complete without a trip to a volcano, and this vacation package includes a unique tour.

Iceland is famous for its volcanoes due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a tectonic boundary where the North American and Eurasian plates meet. 

This geological setting leads to frequent volcanic activity, with around 30 active volcanic systems and numerous eruptions. 

The country's diverse volcanic landscape, including volcanic mountains, lava fields, and geothermal areas, contributes to its reputation as a land of fire and ice. 

Additionally, some of its notable eruptions, such as the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruption, which disrupted air travel across Europe, have garnered global attention.

Today, you can take a once-in-a-lifetime tour deep into a now-dormant volcanic magma chamber. Your tour will take you along the Reykjanes peninsula to the Thrihnukagigur volcano, where you will descend into the mouth of the volcano on an old mineshaft.

Once you reach the bottom, you will feel the warmth radiating from this once lava-filled cavern and get the chance to explore the many caverns and rock formations and capture plenty of pictures of the colors left by the lava. 

Thrihnukagigur volcano's history dates back thousands of years. It last erupted over 4,000 years ago. The first known exploration of its inner depths occurred in 1974 when Icelandic cave researchers descended into the chamber. 

This tour is exceptional because dormant volcano magma chambers usually collapse in on themselves. In contrast, this one has stayed intact, making it an experience unlike any other. Please be aware, however, that there is a minimum age requirement of 12.

After this unique tour finishes, you'll return to your accommodation in Reykjavik, where you'll spend the evening.

On the 12th day of your summer vacation in Iceland, you can explore the Langjokull glacier on an ice tunnel tour.

After you experienced the fire of Iceland on your volcanic day yesterday, today, you will experience the ice element. 

In the morning, your guide will collect you from Reykjavik and drive you onto the nearby Langjokull glacier in a modified monster truck to take you to an ice tunnel.

Langjokull Glacier is the second-largest glacier in Iceland, spanning approximately 361 square miles (935 square kilometers) and reaching elevations of over 4,757 feet (1,450 meters).

The glacier features ice tunnels and caves that attract adventurous tourists seeking a glimpse into the frozen heart of Iceland. It is a critical water source for nearby communities and has significant ecological importance. 

An ice tunnel is a captivating natural phenomenon formed within a glacier. Glaciers in Iceland have massive ice masses that flow over time, creating crevasses and moulins. 

Ice tunnels are large hollows or caves developed when meltwater carves through the glacier's ice, leaving magnificent icy passages behind. 

These tunnels can be several meters wide and long, showcasing mesmerizing blue ice formations and intricate patterns. 

Once there, you can explore the caverns of ice that create this spectacular marvel. Be sure to take plenty of pictures from outside the tunnel, as you'll get an amazing aerial view of Iceland from on top of the glacier.

Unfortunately, like many glaciers worldwide, Langjokull glacier is affected by climate change, experiencing melting and receding ice. This tour is an excellent opportunity to see the glacier while you can and learn more about climate change.

In addition, Langjokull has many neighboring glaciers, such as the  Eiriksjokull, Thorisjokull, and Hrutfellsjokull.

After your day exploring the ice of Langjokull glacier, you'll head back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, where you'll spend the evening.

On day 13 of your summer vacation in Iceland, you'll spend your last full day in Reykjavik. You'll have plenty of time to explore the city, check out some extra attractions, browse the shops, and pick up some last-minute souvenirs.

Some of the following options are great for families visiting the city.

The first option on your penultimate day in Iceland is to explore the Perlan museum, which hosts an incredible artificial ice cave exhibition. This state-of-the-art experience is fantastic for those who didn't opt to join an ice cave tour along the South Coast. 

You can also combine this with a visit to the Perlan observation deck, where you have panoramic views of the whole city. Interestingly, the viewing deck features a unique hemispherical rotating glass dome. 

The second option today is to take a few hours to learn more about Iceland's rich indigenous marine life at the Whale Museum. 

With a great selection of life-size whale replicas, this interactive and educational museum is the perfect stop for nature lovers, especially after having experienced a sighting of some of these creatures in North Iceland.

The third option is to take a quick visit to Iceland's ultimate 4D experience with a trip to Flyover Iceland, located near Reykjavik harbor. 

You'll be strapped into a seat and dangled in front of a 66-foot (20-meter) spherical screen that will take you through the most incredible scenes in Iceland. From mountain peaks to the depths of the most incredible fjords, Flyover Iceland covers it all. 

Flyover Iceland also offers complimentary pickup from your accommodation if you decide to visit. Please note there is a minimum age requirement of 5 years old.

At the end of another great day in Iceland, you'll return to your Reykjavik accommodation, where you'll spend your last night in Iceland before traveling home the next day.
