Itinerary

Volcano Crater - Fjords - Mountains
Meet our tour guide at 09 am and depart from Reykjavík Natura Berjaya Iceland Hotels. Travel west along the scenic Hvalfjordur fjord and the town of Borgarnes. Easy hike on Grabrok volcano crater in the middle of a greenish lava field. Further north visit Glaumbaer, one of Iceland’s most beautiful turf house farms and folk museums. Continue along the scenic fjord landscape and over several mountain passes until we reach Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. The overnight location allows you to walk around the beautiful town of Akureyri.
Akureyri - Lake Myvatn - Geothermal bath
In the morning, explore the town of Akureyri, also called the capital of North Iceland, and admire the panoramic view over the Eyjafjordur fjord. From April - October, there are optional whale-watching tours available from 09 -12 am. In the afternoon, travel to Godafoss, the waterfalls of the Gods. Then explore Lake Myvatn, known as a geological wonderland and for its abundant birdlife. See the strange lava formations at Kalfastrond, the pseudo craters at Skutustadir and the tephra cone Hverfjall. Finally, end the afternoon relaxing in the geothermal Myvatn Nature Baths with a fantastic view over the whole area. There is a possibility of seeing the Northern Lights during the evening from September to mid-April
Lava Labyrinth - Hot Spings - East Iceland
In the morning, walk in the lava labyrinth at Dimmuborgir, “the dark castles”, hoping to get a glimpse of the trolls who are said to live there. In the afternoon, visit the hot spring area of Namaskard with bubbling mud pools and steaming solfataras. Head through the uninhabited highlands and moon-like surroundings to East Iceland. From June to August, the tour includes a detour to the powerful waterfall Dettifoss.
East Fjords - Glacier Lagoon - Diamond Beach
It’s a day to admire the dramatic fjord landscape and its tiny fishing villages at the end of twisty roads in the East Fjords and, on the route, visit an attractive stone and mineral collection. Then, in the afternoon, see Vatnajokull – Europe’s biggest glacier visible all over Southeast Iceland. We end the day with a stop at Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs, exploring the extraordinary site and if we are lucky we might see seals swimming in the arctic waters. A boat tour between floating icebergs is included in the program from May through September. You can walk on the black sandy beach (The Diamond Beach) where large icebergs get stranded.
Vatnajökull national Park - South Coast
Travel along the southern part of the glacier Vatnajokull and get a glimpse at Europe’s second-largest national park, which has Iceland’s highest mountains, an alpine environment, and Europe’s largest glacier.
In the afternoon, a beautiful drive with many natural wonders awaits us as we head across the Eldhraun lava field, and cross the sandy desert of the south coast, overlooked by mountainous cliffs, glaciers and waterfalls. Experience the unique Icelandic Lava Show where you get to witness and feel the heat from molten lava! Stroll along the black lava beach of Reynisfjara near Vik. In the small village of Skogar, there is Skagafoss waterfall which is 60 meters high and is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country. Continue to the high but narrow Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which plunges over the mountain. An exciting trail goes behind the fall – if you are prepared to get wet!
Icelandic Horses - Golden Circle
Explore classics today as we travel the route of the Golden Circle sights. Start the day at Fridheimar, where you learn about the Icelandic horse, its unique qualities and history and visit a geothermal greenhouse. Later on, see steam from the Geysir geothermal fields as we arrive. 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 5-7 minute intervals. Continue to Gullfoss, “the Golden Falls “, a double waterfall that tumbles 32 meters into the Hvita River and attracts travellers in summer and winter. Travel inland to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. As we return to Reykjavík, we will take you for a short city tour to show highlights of the world’s northernmost capital.
