Guided Tour around Iceland Guided Iceland Circle

Today you will be picked up from your hotel by the guide at 9 am. We start our journey westwards along the scenic Hvalfjordur fjord and the town of Borgarnes. At Grabrok Crater we take a short hike through the moss-covered lava fields before making our way to Glaumbaer, one of Iceland's most beautiful peat house farms and museum. Along the enchanting fjord landscape, the road leads us over mountains to Akureyri, the capital of the north. The evening is at leisure. Take a stroll through the town centre or relax in the nearby Forest Lagoon. 

Today, we will be exploring the small fishing villages nestled in the stunning fjord landscapes. We'll drive along the winding roads of the East Fjords and visit a unique stone and mineral collection. In the afternoon, we'll have the opportunity to see the Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe. Our day will conclude with a visit to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, where we can admire the floating icebergs. If we're lucky, we may even spot seals swimming in the lagoon or resting on the ice floes. From May to September, the program includes a boat trip to the lagoon. Adjacent to the lagoon is the renowned "Diamond Beach," a black sandy beach where ice chunks frequently wash up.

Today's destinations are the highlights of the Golden Circle: the Geysir area, the Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park. We will start the day in Fridheimar, where we will learn exciting facts about Icelandic horses and visit the local geothermal greenhouse. Then we will continue to the geyser area. There, the Strokkur geyser erupts every 5-7 minutes. The journey will then continue to Gullfoss waterfall and the fascinating Thingvellir National Park, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its significance in Icelandic history. The journey will end in Reykjavik, where we will take a short tour of the city before returning to the hotel.
