Day 1: Reykjavík
Arrive in Reykjavík, a small city set between volcanic plains and Arctic seas. Settle in, breathe in the crisp northern air, and if time permits, enjoy a restorative soak in Sky Lagoon, where Iceland’s fire and ice meet in perfect balance.
Day 2: West Iceland (Snaefellsnes Peninsula)
Head west toward the dramatic Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where the sea meets volcanic peaks. Visit the photogenic Black Church of Búðir, marvel at the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain, and stroll through the fishing village of Arnarstapi. Enjoy a traditional Icelandic lunch before the evening’s northern lights watch.
Day 3: South Iceland (Waterfalls & Black Sands)
Journey south to Iceland’s most breathtaking cascades, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, where mist and sunlight often create rainbows in the air. Walk along the country’s famous black-sand beaches and savor hot soup by the cliffs. At night, look to the skies again for another chance to witness the Aurora Borealis.
Day 4: South Iceland
Sail among glistening icebergs on a lagoon boat ride and witness the surreal beauty of Iceland’s glacial landscape. Visit the Diamond Beach, where shards of ice shimmer against the black sand. The rest of the day is yours to explore or rest at your pace.
Day 5: East Iceland
Drive toward East Iceland, where fjords carve deep into the mountains and villages dot the shoreline. The pace slows here, giving you a quiet glimpse of Icelandic life between sea and stone.
Day 6: North Iceland
Head north through unspoiled terrain, visiting Dimmuborgir’s lava formations, Krafla Volcano, and the Mývatn geothermal area, known for its lunar-like views. See filming sites from Game of Thrones before another evening under the northern lights.
Day 7: Húsavík
Sail the waters of Húsavík, Iceland’s whale-watching capital. Keep watch for minke, humpback, or even blue whales breaching against the Arctic horizon. Return to shore for leisure time and one last Aurora hunt before nightfall.
Day 8: Reykjavík
Travel back to Reykjavík with stops along the way to meet friendly Icelandic horses, shop at roadside markets, or pause for one last photograph of the countryside. Enjoy your evening exploring the capital’s cafés and boutiques.
Day 9: Golden Circle & Blue Lagoon
Explore Iceland’s celebrated Golden Circle, home to Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss Waterfall. End your journey at the Blue Lagoon, where mineral-rich waters soothe and restore. An optional farewell dinner rounds off the evening.
Day 10: Reykjavík
After breakfast, bid farewell to Iceland’s frozen magic and transfer to the airport. Take a flight back home after a memorable excursion to Iceland.
