Activity itinerary

Day 1: Iceland Golden Circle

9 stops
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Not included

Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss, known as the Golden Falls, dazzles visitors with its spectacular cascades along Iceland's Golden Circle. This majestic waterfall, formed by ancient flash floods, plunges over 100 feet into a rugged gorge, creating a stunning visual spectacle. The name derives from the shimmering golden hue of its waters under sunlight and a legendary tale of hidden gold, adding a mystical allure. Accessible via well-maintained paths, Gullfoss offers a breathtaking view from above, allowing spectators to witness the powerful force of nature. The well-maintained paths around Gullfoss can get slippery, so visitors should tread carefully while enjoying this breathtaking natural wonder.

Helgufoss

Helgufoss is one of lesser-known but charming waterfalls situated in the serene Mosfellsbær area, this hidden gem offers a tranquil escape from the more crowded tourist spots. The waterfall is notable for its picturesque setting and the easy, scenic hike that leads to it, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful afternoon outing. With its lush surroundings and the gentle cascade of water, Helgufoss is a perfect example of Iceland's understated natural beauty.

Hveradalir Geothermal Area

Hveradalir, a historic geothermal area in Iceland, traces its roots back to the 1920s when Anders Hoyer and Erica Hartmann, passionate horticulturalists, settled the land. Known for Iceland’s first steam bath, it offers visitors the chance to explore geothermal greenhouses and enjoy natural hot springs, while experiencing the site where skiers once gathered to unwind in steam cabins crafted from the surrounding fumaroles.

Kerid Crater

Kerid Crater is a stunning geological formation, once a vibrant volcano that collapsed after depleting its magma chamber. Just 3,000 years old, the crater features brilliant red iron deposits and lush green vegetation, framing a striking blue lake enriched by mineral deposits. Spanning over 558 feet wide and 180 feet deep, Kerið offers a breathtaking view of nature's artistry. Open year-round, the crater allows visitors to enjoy its beauty across different seasons, though checking current access conditions and opening hours before visiting is recommended.

Silfra

Silfra Fissure is a striking underwater rift in Iceland, located between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Formed by an earthquake in the late 1700s, it is renowned for its exceptionally clear water, filtered through underground lava for up to 100 years. This natural filtration makes Silfra's water among the cleanest globally, allowing divers unparalleled visibility of over 100 yards. However, the water temperature remains below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring the use of drysuits. Regular seismic activity ensures each dive is a unique experience. Diving and snorkelling in Silfra are popular activities, with tours available for those eager to explore this extraordinary site.

Strokkur Geyser

Strokkur is one of the most active geysers in the world, erupting every 5 to 10 minutes and shooting water up to 60 feet high. On rare occasions, it can reach heights of over 130 feet, making it a must-see attraction for visitors. Geysir, from which the English word "geyser" is derived, is the older and historically more famous of the two. Although it is currently in a dormant phase, with years between eruptions, its significance in geothermal studies and its role in naming this natural phenomenon make it an important landmark.

Secret Lagoon - Gamla Laugin

Secret Lagoon, established in the 1890s and rejuvenated in recent decades, is Iceland's oldest swimming pool. After being overshadowed by newer facilities in the 1940s, it has been revived to become a cherished geothermal spot for both locals and tourists. The lagoon offers a natural, minimalistic setting with a scenic path around a bubbling geyser. Facilities include rental options for swimming costumes and towels, and an entrance fee is required for access. Visitors are advised to hydrate and eat lightly before soaking in the warm waters to enhance their experience at this historic and relaxing destination.

Skalholt

Skálholt is a site steeped in historical and cultural significance, having served as one of the two episcopal sees of Iceland for centuries. From the 11th to the 18th century, it functioned as a vital centre of ecclesiastical power, education, and religious development. Today, Skálholt is home to a modern cathedral adorned with beautiful stained glass windows that depict scenes from Icelandic Christian history. Visitors can also explore an ancient burial site and a small museum displaying religious artefacts, making Skálholt a compelling destination for those interested in the deep historical roots of Christianity in Iceland.

Thingvellir National Park

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park in Iceland is a site of immense historical, cultural, and geological significance. Renowned as the location of the Alþingi, the world's oldest existing parliament founded in 930 AD, it sits in a rift valley marking the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Visible here are the effects of two tectonic plates drifting apart. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir offers a dramatic landscape of fissures, lava fields, and water bodies, appealing to history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and geologists. Note that a parking fee is required to help maintain and preserve this significant site.

Hafnarberg Sea Cliffs

The Hafnarberg Sea Cliffs offer a stunning view of Iceland's rugged coastline, accessible via a scenic three-mile trail. These cliffs are composed of basalt, shaped into intriguing formations by relentless ocean erosion.

The sight of steam rising from the ground, combined with the fascinating array of colours, makes Krýsuvík a must-see destination for those seeking to experience the raw beauty and energy of the Earth.

Reykjanes Lighthouse

Reykjanes Lighthouse, perched on Iceland's southernmost tip, has been a guiding light since 1878. The original structure was compromised by an earthquake, leading to the construction of the current, sturdier lighthouse in 1907. As the oldest standing lighthouse in Iceland, it serves a critical role in navigating the treacherous coastal waters. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and the vast Atlantic, Reykjanes Lighthouse remains a historic beacon of safety and an iconic landmark amidst the rugged landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Day 4: Reykjavik Walking

5 stops
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Not included

Hallgrimskirkja

Inside, the minimalist expressionist design features a lofty nave and striking pipe organ.

Parliament House (Althingishus)

Parliament House in Reykjavík is the seat of Iceland’s Alþingi, one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in the world, tracing its foundation back to 930 AD. The façade of the building features carvings in low relief depicting the four guardian spirits, specifically a dragon, a great bird (often interpreted as an eagle or vulture), a giant, and a bull.

Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street

Rainbow Street in Reykjavík was painted in rainbow colours in 2015 to celebrate Reykjavik Pride and has become a symbol of inclusion and diversity in the city. Homosexuality was decriminalized in 1940 in Iceland. In 1975, musician Hörður Torfason was the first person in Iceland to publicly come out and later helped found Samtökin ’78, a national queer rights organisation. Years of advocacy and legal reform helped pave the way for Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, who became Iceland’s prime minister in 2009 and was the first openly gay head of government in modern times.

Sun Voyager

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) is a striking steel sculpture along Reykjavik’s waterfront, resembling a sleek ship but symbolising imagination, hope, and exploration rather than Viking history.
