Six Days in Iceland (from Reykjavik to Skogafoss)

Begin your Icelandic journey in the vibrant capital of Reykjavik, where the adventure kicks off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. Depending on the season, you’ll experience either the city’s endless daylight or its cozy winter twilight. After meeting your fellow travelers, immerse yourself in Reykjavik’s lively culinary and craft beer scene, or explore the city’s renowned nightlife. Settle into your accommodation at a centrally located hotel (or similar), ready for the days of exploration ahead.

Embark on a scenic drive along the Golden Circle, beginning with the awe-inspiring landscapes of Thingvellir National Park, where Europe’s oldest parliament once stood. Witness the dramatic Strokkur Geyser erupting and marvel at the powerful cascades of Gullfoss waterfall. As the day winds down, unwind in the soothing waters of the Secret Lagoon in Fludir, Iceland’s oldest man-made pool, before settling into your cozy accommodation (or similar) in this charming village.

Travel along Iceland’s breathtaking south coast, starting with the enchanting Gluggafoss waterfall. Continue to the mighty Skogafoss, where you can climb beside the falls for panoramic views. If the season allows, visit the dramatic cliffs of Dyrholaey Nature Reserve and the striking black sands of Reynisdrangar beach. Pass through the picturesque village of Vik before reaching the mesmerizing Glacier Lagoon and the sparkling Diamond Beach. Spend the night near Reynivellir, surrounded by Iceland’s wild beauty, at a welcoming guesthouse (or similar).

Start your day with the opportunity to walk on the mighty Vatnajokull glacier, Europe’s largest icecap, or opt for a summer boat ride among floating icebergs. Continue your adventure in Vatnajokull National Park, hiking to the stunning Svartifoss waterfall, famous for its black basalt columns. If conditions permit, make a stop at the serpentine Fjadrargljufur canyon, shaped by millennia of erosion. Arrive in the remote seaside village of Vik, where you’ll have a free evening to explore and relax at your comfortable hotel (or similar).

Journey back to Reykjavik, stopping at some of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Experience the thrill of walking behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss, then discover the hidden beauty of Gljufrabui nearby. Conclude your waterfall adventure at Urridafoss, the country’s most voluminous falls. Arrive in Reykjavik for an afternoon orientation walk, sampling local delicacies like the famous Icelandic hot dog, and enjoy your final night with shopping or drinks at a quirky local bar. Rest at a centrally located hotel (or similar).

After breakfast, your multi-day tour concludes in Reykjavik. For those wishing to extend their Icelandic adventure, consider a snorkeling excursion in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra Fissure or indulge in the rejuvenating geothermal pools of Sky Lagoon. If you choose to stay longer, your booking agent can assist with additional arrangements, ensuring your Icelandic experience continues seamlessly.
