South West Discoveries

Today, you will explore Iceland’s most iconic route: The Golden Circle. Your journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO-listed site and the birthplace of Icelandic democracy.

In 930 AD, just 60 years after Iceland’s first settlement, Icelanders gathered here annually to shape their laws—a tradition that continued until 1798. But Þingvellir is more than a historical landmark; it’s also a geological wonder. Straddling the North Atlantic Ridge, this is the only place on Earth where you can see the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates above sea level.

Next, you’ll witness the raw power of nature at Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, following in the footsteps of its legendary big brother, Geysir (the origin of the English word geyser).

Your final stop is Gullfoss, or The Golden Falls, a breathtaking two-tiered waterfall that cascades into a rugged canyon, making it one of Iceland’s most spectacular natural wonders.

Our journey includes visits to two charming Icelandic farms, offering a taste of the country’s finest local produce.

First, we’ll stop at Efsti-Dalur, a family-run dairy farm famous for its homemade ice cream—arguably the best in Iceland. And yes, today we start with dessert!

For a late lunch, we’ll head to Friðheimar, a unique tomato farm where you’ll dine inside a lush greenhouse. Ever wondered how tomatoes grow year-round in Iceland’s harsh climate? Discover the secret as nature plays a big role in this sustainable farming success story!

You will be staying in the luxurious ION Adventure Hotel, nested between mountains and Hot Springs, far deep in the Icelandic countryside.

You will be staying in a luxury hotel, at the foot of the Vatnajökull: FossHotel Glacier Lagoon.

Today, you'll venture into one of Iceland’s most breathtaking landscapes—Vatnajökull National Park, home to Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. This vast expanse of ice and rugged terrain showcases some of the country's most extraordinary natural sights.

Your journey includes:

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon – A mesmerizing spectacle where colossal icebergs, some the size of houses, break off the glacier and float across a newly forming fjord, creating an ever-changing landscape.

Diamond Beach – Where shimmering icebergs are carried by the tides and washed ashore, resembling scattered diamonds against the striking black sand.

Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon – A hidden gem nestled beside the Fjallsjökull glacier, offering a quieter but equally stunning glacial experience.

Get ready to be captivated by Iceland’s raw beauty and create memories that will last a lifetime!

You will hop on a giant, modified “SuperJeep” to take you all the way to the edge of the glacier. There, once geared up with crampons, your guide will take you to a crystal blue Ice Cave. The Highlight of this tour.

You will be staying in a superior hotel, in the heart of Reykjavík: Reykjavík Hotel Grand.

Often called Iceland in Miniature, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula showcases a breathtaking variety of landscapes—lava fields, glaciers, waterfalls, towering cliffs, serene lakes, and volcanic craters, all packed into one remarkable region.

Your day includes:

Mount Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss – One of Iceland’s most photographed peaks, paired with its scenic waterfall, famously featured in Game of Thrones.

Djúpalónssandur – A striking black sand beach framed by a vast lava field, where remnants of historic shipwrecks add to its dramatic allure.

Arnarstapi – A picturesque coastal village renowned for its rugged rock formations and breathtaking ocean views.
