Daily itinerary

Day 1 – Tuesday: ARRIVAL IN ICELAND – REYKJAVIK  (ca. 50 km)
Arrival in Iceland. Pick up your rental car at Keflavik international airport and drive to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Day 2 – Wednesday: REYKJAVIK – SOUTH SHORE – VIK  (ca. 200 km)
Drive east along the south coast of Iceland towards the towns of Hveragerdi and Selfoss. Further along the way stop at the inspiring waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss – two of the most iconic waterfalls in Iceland. The drive continues at the foot of Eyjafjöll mountains where the infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano rests under the glacier of the same name. Drive on to the village of Vik with a chance for a stop at Reynisfjara black sand beach with a view of Reynisdrangar cliffs in the sea and the Dyrholaey promontory. Accommodation in a country hotel near to the area of Vik. The hotel is situated in a rural location away from the village and so offers the excellent possibility for observing the northern lights if they appear during your stay, directly from the hotel.

*Optional tours available: Glacier Hike, Snowmobile Ride

Day 3 – Thursday: SKAFTAFELL – JOKULSARLON (ca. 400 km)
Drive across the black sands, glacial rivers and moss-covered lava fields east towards Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Crossing Skeidararsandur we reach Skaftafell national park, the largest national park in all of Europe. One of the park‘s main attractions is Svartifoss waterfall. From here you also get the best view of Hvannadalshnjukur – Iceland’s highest peak. Continuing at the foot of Vatnajokull you reach the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon with thousands of icebergs of different shapes, sizes and colors slowly moving from the calving glacier towards the sea. Following the river, ,we reach the ocean and the “Diamond beach” where impressively beached large pieces of glacial ice glitter on the black sand before they melt or are washed away by the sea.
Drive back the same way to Vik area for another overnight.

*Optional tours available: Glacier hike in Skaftafell, Boat tour at Jokulsarlon (October only)

Day 4 – Friday: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE – REYKJAVIK  (ca. 290 km)
Leave the Vik area, driving back to towards Selfoss from where you continue to some of the best known natural wonders of Iceland. Stop at the Geysir area where the most active of the geysers, Strokkur spouts a column of hot water regularly every 5-10 min. Take a walk around the other hot springs of this high-temperature geothermal area. A short drive towards the highlands will bring you to Gullfoss waterfall – the Golden Falls which cascades into the deep canyon of Hvita glacial river.  Continue past Lake Laugarvatn towards the Thingvellir national park by Lake Þingvallavatn – a site of the first parliament as well as a place of great geological interest and natural beauty.
Continue to Reykjavik for the last overnight.

Day 5 – Saturday:  REYKJAVIK, Departure day  (ca. 50 km)
Drive to Keflavik airport in time for check in for your international flight.

If your flight departs late afternoon, then you have the possibility to add an optional whale watching boat tour in the morning, drive around the Reykjanes peninsula or visit the Blue Lagoon before dropping of the rental car at Keflavik airport.

Possibility to extend your tour into the north of Iceland: Discover the Winter Highlights of North Iceland or Northern Lights Special
