On your way to Iceland's capital city, you could choose to make a stop at the Blue Lagoon. This world-renowned spa is known for its healing waters, vivid azure colors, and luxurious treatments. It is located 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 is 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 is still plenty to see and do in Reykjavik and the Reykjanes Peninsula if you have extra free time.
After settling in, the rest of the day is free for you to explore one of Europe's most diverse cities, so be sure to enjoy the multitude of museums, galleries, restaurants, and bars available.
Spend the night in Reykjavík.
Spend the first part of your Golden Circle exploration strolling through the gorge, which marks the separation between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, at the Þingvellir National Park. This site is also steeped in history. Here, Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 AD, converted to Christianity in 1000 AD, and declared their independence from Denmark in 1944. You can also opt for a snorkel tour here.
After that, head to the geothermal valley of Haukadalur, an area with hot springs, steam vents, mud pools, and geysers. The most famous geyser, which lends all the others their name, Geysir itself, is largely inactive. You can watch its neighbor Strokkur erupt every ten minutes to heights of over 66 ft (20 m).
After taking your time in this area, head just down the road to the mighty waterfall Gullfoss. You can walk to a platform right on its edge to truly appreciate its awesome power. You can also add an optional snowmobile tour on Langjökull glacier here.
On this day, you can also take the opportunity to meet and ride a beautiful Icelandic horse.
You'll spend the night within the Golden Circle.
A little further down the road, you will reach Sólheimajökull, where you can take an optional glacier hike or snowmobiling tour. Both are exhilarating experiences.
Further along the ring road, near Vík, be sure to admire the black volcanic beach Reynisfjara, along with the dramatic Dyrhólaey rock formations. Vík itself is a charming village and a good place to refuel, stop for a hot cup of coffee , or stretch your legs. You can opt for a tour, departing from Vík, where you visit a stunning ice cave in Mýrdalsjökull glacier. After enjoying the sights and the beach, you can continue on.
Other notable places as you make your way east include the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, as well as the quaint, historical village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Spend the night in the Vík or the Skaftafell area.
Next on the road is the incredible Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where you can watch icebergs break from a glacial tongue and float serenely towards the ocean. It's a place that has attracted keen photographers for years, and you'll get an even better view if you decide to book an optional amphibious boat or zodiac cruise to get as close to the ice as possible. Look for seals playing in the water or sunning themselves on the rocks.
After enjoying the lagoon, head to the Diamond Beach. Icebergs wash up on the black sands, offering even more great photo opportunities.
Spend the night in Höfn.
You'll zig-zag your way up and down the mountains and reach Egilstaðir township, or one of the neighboring villages, by evening and spend the night there.
After exploring this incredible region, you can take an optional whale watching tour in the nearby village of Húsavík, renowned as the whale watching capital of Europe, and even upgrade it to include a puffin watching segment in a little RIB. In the evening, you'll head to the town of Akureyri, the northern capital, where you will spend the night.
You will then continue out onto the Troll Peninsula and follow the coast to fishing villages such as Siglufjörður, Dalvík, and Hofsós
You can visit the tiny town of Hofsós and the old Hólar cathedral, before finally reaching your stop for the night near the village of Sauðárkrókur.
Along the way, you could stop at the rolling hills of Vatnsdalshólar, the Borgarvirki natural fortress, and the Glaumbær Folk Museum. The Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft Museum, located in Hólmavík, and the Sorcerer’s Cottage, a short drive away, are a nice way to spend some time. The hot pools in Drangsnes are also well worth a visit.
Once you reach Ísafjörður, you can find some of the oldest houses in Iceland, dating back to the mid-18th century. A dinner at Tjöruhúsið is highly recommended.
Spend the night in the Ísafjarðardjúp area.
Continue to Hrafnseyri, and visit the museum dedicated to another hero, Jón Sigurðsson, who was influential in Iceland’s battle for independence from Denmark.
Afterward, stop to take some photos at the impressive cliff of Látrabjarg, rising to 1456 ft (444 m); this is arguably the westernmost point of Europe. While there, you can take a closer look at Iceland’s many species of nesting seabirds, including puffins and razorbills; they are not afraid of you at all, so that you will get some amazing photographs.
Spend the night in the Vesturbyggð areas, near Patreksfjörður or Breiðavík.
You can choose to stop on the island of Flatey and spend a few hours enjoying the peace and tranquillity. It is incredibly remote; only two families stay here year-round.
From Stykkishólmur, you can start to explore some of the many wonders of Snæfellsnes. It is sometimes called 'Iceland in miniature' because so many of the nation's distinctive features can be found here, from dramatic beaches to hot springs to imposing cliffs. The region is watched over by Snæfellsjökull glacier, at the heart of the national park.
Spend the night in the Snæfellsnes area.
There are many unique sights around, including the Snæfellsjökull glacier, the photogenic Kirkjufell mountain, Dritvík cove, Djúpalónssandur beach, and the small villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar. Keep your camera in hand, and spend the day hiking and exploring.
Spend another night in the Snæfellsnes area.
Further along, be sure to stop at the beautiful Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls. History buffs may also enjoy visiting Snorrastofa, the medieval research institute at Reykholt, where the famous chieftain and poet, Snorri Sturluson, wrote the saga Heimskringla in the 13th century.
On the way back to Reykjavik, take a short break at Fossatún, a waterfall said to be guarded by a troll woman named Drífa.
Also on this day, you can opt for one of two caving tours. The first is a traditional excursion, where you explore the dark, underground world in Viðgelmir lava tube. The second is anything but traditional. You will walk through man-made channels right into Langjökull glacier. Both are beautiful and thrilling activities.
A third choice is to descend into Þríhnúkagígur volcano, for an unbelievable opportunity to see the inside of a magma chamber.
Spend your final night in the capital, Reykjavík.
For those who have a later flight and choose to visit the Blue Lagoon today, you will finish off your stay unwinding before you head to the airport. This is the perfect place to relax as you bathe in the warm, mineral-rich waters as you look back on the incredible adventure you have just taken in the land of fire and ice. If your flight is later, there are plenty of things to do in Reykjavik. If you have an early flight back home, we wish you a pleasant journey.
Although it is summertime, the Icelandic weather can be very unpredictable. Please bring appropriate clothing.
Please note that the Westfjords area does not offer quality-level accommodation. Visitors will thus be placed in the best comfort level accommodation possible in the area during their stay in the Westfjords.
