The adventure
Immerse yourself in Iceland's awe-inspiring and otherworldly landscapes on this 10-day adventure that combines some of the country's most iconic highlights with active experiences that'll take you further afield. Hike across lava fields, venture into ice tunnels within a glacier, and journey behind waterfalls as you let the land take your imagination to new heights. Witness the spectacular scenery of the Snafellsnes Peninsula and watch the power of the earth as water shoots high into the sky from Geysir along the Golden Circle route. From majestic waterfalls to hot springs and lava caves, Iceland will inspire and reward you in the best way possible.
Allow your imagination to drift to cascading waterfalls, crisp mountain air and bubbling natural hot springs - there is nowhere on earth like the "Land of Ice and Fire." We welcome you to Reykjavik, and to Iceland, and invite you to experience duality where rugged volcanic rock shares the skyline with sparkling glaciers.
Made famous by Jules Verne's 'Journey to the center of the Earth', this peninsula is known for its spectacular landscapes. You'll visit small fishing towns and make various stops throughout the day. Experience some truly incredible scenery that serve as a precursor for what is to come on the rest of your adventure across Iceland.
Head away from the city today as you venture into the Icelandic countryside where you'll get out for the first of many explorations on foot. You'll visit majestic waterfalls and even get the opportunity to walk behind one of them, feeling the power of the thundering water cascade from the heights.
Volcanic landscapes and waterfalls abound as you hike in the hidden gem of the Gjáin Valley. Witness the meeting of two rivers at Hjálparfoss and soak in a geothermal pool with a spouting geyser. This is Iceland in all it's glory.
Discover more of Iceland's stunning natural beauty as you hike to Skõgarfoss, arguably one of the most mesmerising waterfalls in the country. Featured in films from Thor to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you may be familiar with this landmark already. Take in all of the spectacular scenery and learn about the volcanic origins of Iceland's powerful natural formation at the place where two continental plates meet.
Keep your camera handy today as you visit the highlights along the famed Golden Circle route where you'll see majestic waterfalls and a geyser that spouts water high up into the sky. You'll also taste bread that was baked underground with Iceland's ever-present geothermal energy. Stay active by hiking to another stunning waterfall from Thingvellir National Park.
Pristine and untouched natural beauty is the theme today as you set off to explore Langjokull, the second-largest glacier in the whole of Iceland. Travel up the snowy white slopes before immersing yourself in man-made ice tunnels, surrounded by ice in the heart of the glacier.
Immerse yourself further into Iceland's stunning landscapes as you explore by foot, with the choice of either a more challenging or moderate hike. Traverse the canyon and view interesting rock formations and sculptures by the artist Páll Guõmundsson, a Húsafell native, or follow in the footsteps of past travellers who blazed the trail between different regions of Iceland along natural water springs.
Leaving Húsafell behind, you'll head to Vidgelmir cave where you'll see first hand the impact of volcanic activity. Wander into the depths of this magical underworld, where the incredible colours and unique geologic formations once sealed away in darkness are now accessible for you to see and enjoy.
Today your adventure comes to an end and you can depart at any time.
