After breakfast, we’ll head out on a scenic drive to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature” for its incredible variety of landscapes.

We’ll continue on to the Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs, two striking volcanic rock pinnacles that rise straight from the shoreline. From there, we’ll visit Djúpalónssandur Beach, a hauntingly beautiful stretch of black pebbles dotted with the rusted remains of a shipwreck and views of the Snæfellsjökull glacier in the distance. We’ll finish the day at the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall—one of the most photographed spots in all of Iceland—before making our way back to Reykjavík for the evening.

Today we’ll depart Reykjavik as we follow Iceland’s famous Golden Circle route, a must-see for any traveler. Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s parliament was founded in 930 AD. This is also where you’ll find the Silfra Fissure, the only place in the world where you can see the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates above the surface. Next up is the Geysir geothermal area, home to the lively Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, sending steaming water high into the air. From there, we’ll visit the powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders, where glacial waters thunder into a deep canyon.

Today we’ll set out along Iceland’s stunning South Coast, a region filled with dramatic scenery and natural wonders at every turn. We’ll start with two beautiful waterfalls: Gljúfrabúi, a hidden gem tucked behind a canyon wall, and Gluggafoss, also known as Merkjarfoss, where cascades tumble down layers of volcanic rock. Continuing east, we’ll stop at the famous black-sand beaches near Reynisdrangar, where towering basalt sea stacks rise from the waves, and at Dyrhólaey Nature Reserve, home to sweeping ocean views and dramatic cliffs. The highlight of the day awaits at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, massive icebergs break away from Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier and drift through the lagoon before floating out to sea. We’ll take a boat ride among the icebergs, an unforgettable way to experience the scale and beauty of this icy wonder.
