4 Days 3 Nights or 7 Days 6 Nights– We can easily extend or modify your trip
Here's a daily itinerary.

Day Zero

Leave US
Travelers from North America leave for Iceland on an overnight flight with an early morning arrival at Keflavik Airport in Iceland.

Day One

Welcome to Iceland!

You'll have a ticket for the Flybus shuttle which will take you from Keflavik Airport and deliver you to your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavik. You'll have the day to enjoy Iceland's capitol, visit museums, shops and some of the many fine coffee houses, and restaurants. Maybe you'll want to have a very Icelandic experience and spend some time at one of the city's geothermally heated swimming pools. Icelanders swim outside, all year long, (and never, never in unheated water!)

We’ll provide lots of ideas for things to do and see, and for lunch and dinner, which is part of the fun!

Day Two

Reykjavik and the Blue Lagoon

After breakfast you’ll have the morning to relax. At 12:30 you’ll be picked up for a 2.5 hour Reykjavík city tour. A visit is made to the current home of the world’s oldest parliament. There’s a stop at the towering church Hallgrímskirkja on top of the hill in the center of town, and then the lake where you may be hit up by some of the zillions of panhandling ducks. You’ll see modern suburbs contrasting with the older parts of the city with their colorful little houses and much more. The afternoon is free for shopping and sight-seeing in Reykjavík city center. At 6 you’ll set off for an evening tour to the Blue Lagoon. A drive through rough lava fields leads to the Blue Lagoon where you can soak in a rejuvenating geothermal wonder. The vivid blue water is naturally rich in minerals believed to have healing powers. There’s a great little restaurant here, too. It all makes for a relaxing evening!

Day Three

Golden Circle

Your guide today takes you to some “must see” sights of Iceland today. You’ll be driven through the fertile lowlands of Southern Iceland to visit Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most magnificent waterfalls. Known as the Queen of Iceland's waterfalls, it thunders over a double cascade in the glacial Hvitá River and if the sun is in the right place ther's a great rainbow. In a little while you’ll continue on to the hot spring area of Geysir, the home of the original boiling water spout, where Strokkur, “the Churn” erupts every 10 minutes or so. You'll visit Thingvellir National Park, which sits atop the North Atlantic ridge and where you can see the edges of the European and American tectonic plates and a nice variety of landforms and water. It's here that the old Viking parliament, the Alþingi, first met in the 9th century, only moving to downtown Reykjavik a century or so ago.
(The Seven day trip adds three more days here, we can help you flesh out activities and things to do. You would end the trip on Day Seven)

Day Four

Time to say good bye ...(or to keep on going deeper into Iceland!)

The tour ends this morning after breakfast. You’ll have the morning free to explore Reykjavik, to see museums, shops and galleries. The Flybus shuttle will return you to Keflavik International Airport for your late afternoon flight (there’s a bus that includes a few hours at the Blue Lagoon if you need more of that.) OR, you can use this 4 day tour as an introduction and go on to experience some of the many other aspects of this unusual land.
