Reykjavik

Iceland

Take a 5-day, 4-night budget holiday to Reykjavik and the Icelandic countryside, with an optional glacier hike. This trip offers great value for money! During the day, we'll explore Southwest Iceland, known for its natural wonders and cultural sights. You'll spend two nights in Iceland's capital and two nights in South Iceland.

Day 1

Relax at your hotel or explore Iceland’s capital city on your own if time allows. The hotel is ideally located to explore the city on foot.

Day 2

At 09:00 meet your tour guide in the hotel lobby. Enjoy the highlights of Iceland’s exciting capital.

Discover the wonders of the Reykjanes peninsula with old lava flows, the grand barrenness, rough shore-side, spectacular breaking surf, hot spring areas, small fishing villages and abundant bird life. We stop near a tall lighthouse close to sea stacks. The peninsula steams with volcanic features - hot springs, sulfates and mud pools and a couple of small shield volcanoes and some fissures through the lava fields. You get the unique chance to cross a small bridge between two continents, the American and Eurasian continental plates.

Reykjanes Peninsula

Relax in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding lava fields. Then, we will continue our journey south to the charming village of Hella. We will settle in there and stay for the next two nights. This peaceful village offers a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty of South Iceland.

Day 3

Under Eyjafjallajökull glacier is the famous volcano that erupted in the spring of 2010. Although a relatively small eruption, it cased a huge disruption to air traffic across Europe for a week.

Volcano Eyjafjallajokull

A graceful ribbon-like waterfall, which drops from an overhanging lava cliff. It is possible to walk behind it, but do not expect to stay dry!

Seljaland

Visit one of Iceland’s finest folk museums. This museum contains an outstanding collection of farm and domestic artefacts from Iceland’s past and several turf-built houses

Skogar Museum

In the small village of Skógar there is Skógafoss waterfall which is 60 meters high and is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country

Skogafoss

In the afternoon you can go on a optional glacier walk. On this fun, safe and easy to moderate glacier walk you get to explore the wonderland of ice sculptures, water cauldrons, ridges and deep crevasses on the breath-taking Sólheimajökull glacier. While enjoying all the features of the glacier and its spectacular surroundings, you will learn more about the behavior of glaciers and their impact on nature. No technical requirements are needed for the tour as an experienced glacier guide will teach you how to use basic glacier equipment, such as crampons and an ice axe which are provided for glacier walk tours. Duration of this activity is approximately 3 hours in total, about 90 minutes on the ice and about 30-40 min walk (one-way) from the car park to the glacier edge itself. Minimum age for the glacier hike is 10 years. You need to bring warm clothing, rain gear and hiking boots.

Solheimajokull Glacier

Take a stroll on the black lava beach and along bird cliffs at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Interesting caves and impressive rock formations can be seen, including columnar basalt.

Reynisfjara Beach

Visit the village of Vík where we make a photo stop. The black lava beach with high bird cliffs and pounding waves is awe-inspiring

Day 4

Learn about the Icelandic horse, its unique qualities and history and visit a geothermal greenhouse.

Fridheimar

There is a variety of hot springs and bubbling pools. The original geyser is now dormant but has been replaced by Strokkur, "the Churn", which erupts at 5-10-minute intervals.

Geysir

The mighty waterfall of Gullfoss - the Golden falls - perhaps the most beautiful in the country. The glacial river of Hvítá (white river) tumbles 32 meters (105 ft.) in a double cascade. On a sunny day a rainbow is very likely in the massive spray.

Gullfoss Waterfall

UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. Stroll around the country’s most sacred site, home of the oldest existing national parliament in the world, the Alþingi, and major events in the history of Iceland. Thingvellir is a place of fascinating natural beauty, a spectacular geological vista, set on a vast plain flanked by large fissures, right by Iceland’s largest lake, Thingvallavatn.
