Planned Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight in Reykjavík

On arrival in Iceland's capital, you'll check in to your hotel for the night. If you have time, take the rest of the day to explore the many things to see and do in this charming city.  

Day 2: Langjökull Glacier and Ice Cave  

Today begins with a scenic drive towards Borgarfjörður. Our first stop is Hraunfossar and Barnafoss – two picturesque waterfalls that provide perfect photo opportunities. We’ll then continue to the Langjokull glacier, Iceland´s second-largest glacier. Here you’ll meet your local guides, collect your warm overalls and boots, and head on to the glacier on a 4x4. Up on the glacier, you’ll find a deep man-made cave with a series of tunnels carved into the glacial ice, complete with an ice bar and ice chapel. On a guided tour here, you’ll weave through the labyrinth of icy underground tunnels, marvelling at the array of colours and learning about glaciology along the way. Your tour ends with lunch before heading back to Reykjavík.

Day 3: Golden Circle Tour

After breakfast, you'll begin your full-day Golden Circle tour. We'll visit UNESCO-listed Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park, a fascinating site of geological and historical significance. Enjoy a walk in the glorious volcanic landscape, and stand where two tectonic plates meet. The tour continues over the Lyngdalsheiði heath into the fertile farmlands of the south, where you´ll have a tasty lunch. After, you'll travel to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls, and see the spouting geysers of the Geysir Geothermal Area, where the most active hot spring, Strokkur, spouts every few minutes. 

You’ll return to Reykjavík to enjoy another overnight stay.

Day 4: Reykjavík  

Breakfast at your hotel. After being transferred to the airport, your pre-voyage option comes to an end. Please note we might visit these sights in a different order.
