3-dages kør-selv-sommertur til Islands Blå Lagune, Den Gyldne Cirkel og sydkysten

Welcome to Iceland, a volcanic island of staggering beauty and unlimited possibilities.

You will first pick up your car from Keflavik International Airport and then head towards Reykjavik. 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.

Once you arrive in Reykjavik, you will check in to your accommodation before heading out to discover the local culture. Why not visit some of the city's best-known landmarks, including Hallgrimskirkja Lutheran Church, Harpa Concert Hall, or Perlan Observation Deck?

Aside from these, you are recommended to sample the local nightlife and culinary scene or head to one of the capital's many museums or art galleries. If, however, you arrived early in the morning, it is possible to add a Golden Circle tour to your day to make the most of the long hours of summer sunlight. More details can be seen on your day 2 itinerary.

You will be spending your first night in Reykjavik accommodation.

Your second day will see you partake in Iceland's most famous sightseeing route, the Golden Circle. This comprises three major attractions: Thingvellir National Park, Haukadalur geothermal valley, and Gullfoss waterfall. 

You will begin at Thingvellir, famed for its important role in Iceland's history as the founding place of the world's first elected parliament. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, in large part because it is one of the few places on earth where it is possible to see both the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates sticking out from the earth. 

The second site is Haukadalur geothermal valley, famously the home of the hot springs, Strokkur and Geysir. While Geysir is no longer active, it is famous for having lent its name to geysers worldwide. Strokkur, on the other hand, will erupt every five to ten minutes, shooting a jet of boiling water up to 66 ft (20 m) into the air. Aside from these two superstars, the area is rich with bubbling mud pools and smaller hot springs. 

Your final stop of the day, if you so choose, is the mighty waterfall Gullfoss, undoubtedly one of the most beloved attractions in the country. Dropping 105 ft (32 m) over two cragged steps, this waterfall creates a billowing cloud of mist as its glacial water cascades into the valley below. 

If, however, you happened to have undertaken the Golden Circle on your first day, you are encouraged to spend the day sightseeing along the picturesque South Coast. 

You will be passing waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, and black sand beaches like Reynisfjara, all the way to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Colloquially known as the "Crown Jewel of Iceland," this peaceful, iceberg-filled lake is one attraction you will not want to miss.

Afterward, you will begin the journey back to Reykjavik, where you will spend the night.

It is your final day in the land of ice and fire, but depending on your flight time, there may still be time to fit in some added sightseeing.

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.
