Dag 1 – Reykjavík

Welcome to Iceland! Once you've got your bags, collect your car at the airport in Keflavik and head towards the capital city, where you'll find your accommodations for the night.
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.
When you arrive in Reykjavik, you can start exploring the city. Visit some of Reykjavik's many museums, shops, and restaurants, or walk around, enjoying the warm rays of the midnight sun.

After spending a little time in Reykjavik, it is time to hit the road. Drive past the Nesjavellir Geothermal Plant. This scenic route is surrounded by mountains that fade away as you reach Iceland's biggest lake, Thingvallavatn. You have now entered the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir National Park, the birthplace of the Icelandic parliament.
The park is nestled in a valley located between two tectonic plates that are drifting apart. As they move, they tear up huge ravines and fissures. One of those fissures, Silfra, is located in Thingvallavatn lake. It is filled with crystal clear water, providing exceptional visibility of up to 328 ft (100 m), making it the perfect spot for snorkeling.
If you think you'd enjoy exploring the crystalline waters of the fissure, and swimming between the continents, then you can opt for a snorkeling tour in Silfra today.
Not far away from Thingvellir National Park is the Great Geysir hot spring along with its bursting sidekick, Strokkur. Although Geysir no longer vents as it once did, Strokkur still erupts approximately every 10 minutes, shooting boiling water 66 ft (20 m) high into the sky.
Right next door is the most popular waterfall in Iceland, Gullfoss. Here you can stroll down to the fall's edge and get a sense of the power of the river as it plummets down. If you are eager for more excitement, take an optional snowmobile ride on Langjokull glacier and be picked up from Gullfoss waterfall. You can also choose to take a horse-riding tour on this day.
Next, you can head back to the main road and stop at the Kerid volcanic crater, where a rainbow of colors dazzles the eye. The rusty red hues of the volcanic rock contrast with the clear blue-green water of the serene lake sheltered within. Spend the night in the peaceful area near the town of Hvolsvollur.

Start the day by driving to the waterfall of Seljalandsfoss and its lesser-known neighbor, Gljufrabui. With water cascading down from a height of 197 ft (60 m), Seljalandsfoss is a sight to behold, especially bearing in mind the alternate view available from behind the falling water.
A few minutes down the road is the powerful waterfall of Skogafoss, as well as the Skogar Folk Museum, where you can find a great exhibition about the history of the countryside.
Today, you can also try a glacier hike tour on Solheimajokull ice cap or go snowmobiling on the glacier Myrdalsjokull. You'll also have the option of exploring a unique and stunning ice cave on the glacier Myrdalsjokull, the only one of its kind accessible all year round.
Your last stop will be the breathtaking black beach of Reynisfjara and the tranquil village of Vik. Explore the beach and the eerie cliff of basalt columns, but beware of the dangerous waves that can easily sweep you from the shore and carry you out to sea.
You'll get a great view of Reynisdrangar cliffs from the village of Vik before returning to Reykjavik, where you can explore the city late in the evening as the midnight sun will light up your surroundings.
Wander through this quirky capital with its culture, food, and nightlife on offer. Your last night will be spent in downtown Reykjavik.

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.
Spend the day getting to know Reykjavik and do some last-minute shopping before heading back to the airport for your flight home. If you have time in the morning or early afternoon, you might have some time for an adventure or two.
You can hike up the tower at Hallgrimskirkja church to get a fantastic view of the city. Just across the street is a beautiful sculpture garden where you can walk around the many statues crafted by artist Einar Jonsson.
If the sun is out, you can even go sunbathing on golden sands on this island in the North Atlantic. At Nautholsvik beach in Reykjavik city, hot, geothermal water is pumped into a man-made lagoon, creating the perfect temperature for bathing.
If you have an early flight back home, we wish you a pleasant journey.

Godt at vide
Kør-selv-ture starter enten i Reykjavík centrum eller i Keflavik International Airport. Der kræves et gyldigt kørekort, samt et års erfaring på vejen. Vær opmærksom på at din rejseplan kan blive lavet om, så den passer bedre til dit ankomst- og afgangstidspunkt. Grusbeskyttelses bilforsikring medfølger ikke, hvis du vælger en Toyota Aygo eller lignende. Nogle tilvalgte aktiviteter kan kræve at du har et gyldigt kørekort, eller du skal sende yderligere oplysninger til din rejseplanlægger.
Vær opmærksom på, at du måske skal vise sundhedsdokumentation, hvis du vælger snorkling eller dykning, og deltagere skal føle sig godt tilpas i vandet og kunne svømme.
Selvom det er sommertid, kan det islandske vejr være meget uforudsigeligt. Medbring passende tøj.
