Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Reykjavík, Iceland

    Welcome to Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavík. Your room is available on arrival, so make yourself comfortable before refueling with breakfast. This afternoon, get acquainted with Old Town Reykjavík on a walking tour with a local guide to see the vibrant harbor, City Hall, the Parliament building, and the iconic Harpa Concert Hall with its stunning geometric glass façade. Gather with your fellow travelers at a popular restaurant for dinner featuring Icelandic cuisine. This evening, take an adventurous northern lights cruise and sail into the darkness of Faxaflói Bay in search of the aurora borealis.

  2. 2

    Reykjavík - Golden Circle - Vík

    Travel the Golden Circle to see Geysir, the double-cascade Gullfoss Waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park, where you can stand on the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. In the afternoon, visit the Lava Exhibition Center before continuing to Seljalandsfoss — a rushing waterfall you may walk behind for a unique inside-out view. Continue to Vík and begin three nights of aurora borealis searches in the countryside to increase your likelihood of seeing these elusive lights.

  3. 3

    Vík - Reynisfjara - Vík

    Begin your day with a journey to Reynisfjara, the volcanic black-sand beach famous for its basalt columns and rugged sea stacks just offshore. Connect with the resilient spirit of Iceland at the Skógar Museum, where its farm, domestic artifacts, and preserved turf-built houses bring rural Iceland to life. Afterward, stand in awe before the impressive Skógafoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls. Cap off your day with a visit to Sólheimajökull Glacier, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier. After dinner, gaze at the sky in search of the northern lights.

  4. 4

    Vík - Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon - Vík

    This morning, embark on a spectacular journey east along the coast to the world-famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Witness the breathtaking sight of an iceberg calving from a glacier and floating serenely towards the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out for seals swimming in cold waters. Explore the “Diamond Beach,” where ice sculptures from the lagoon wash ashore and glitter brilliantly against the stark black sand. After soaking in this unforgettable landscape, return to Vík. Following dinner, continue searching for the northern lights dancing across the night sky.

  5. 5

    Vík - Blue Lagoon - Reykjavík

    Drive along the south shore towards the Reykjanes Peninsula. Known for its rugged landscape, lava fields, and numerous hot springs, the peninsula is home to the Blue Lagoon. Take a dip in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the geothermal pool, located in the heart of a dramatic lava field. Return to Reykjavík for your farewell dinner and overnight stay.

  6. 6

    Reykjavík - Tour Ends
