This vacation package to Iceland includes the most popular sights in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park, waterfall Gullfoss, Geysir, the South Coast, Skaftafell National Park, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon. Travel to Iceland and experience the country’s ever changing nature in wintertime, relax in quiet, comfortable countryside hotels and enjoy the sparkling cultural- and nightlife-atmosphere of Reykjavik.
On a clear night, you may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights swirling and dancing across the sky in dramatic shapes and colors.
Arrival at Keflavik Airport. Pick-up of rented vehicle and drive to Reykjavik for your first night’s stay in Iceland. Depending on your arrival time, we recommend that you make a stop at the famous Blue Lagoon on the way and have a swim in the geothermal warm water.
Enjoy the scenery of the South Coast of Iceland. On the way you will pass two spectacular waterfalls the Seljalandsfoss and Skógarfoss, two stops you must not miss. You can walk behind Seljalandsfoss and at Skógar you will find a folk museum showing how people lived in past centuries in Iceland. The black sand beaches of the south coast are famous and you can take a walk on them in the little village of Vík or in Reynishverfi. You can go swimming in one of Iceland´s oldest swimming pool, the Seljavallarlaug, a naturally-heated thermal pool located in a beautiful hidden valley. Overnight in Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.
Today you will visit one of the most popular and beautiful sights of Iceland. Enjoy the breathtaking sights of the Skaftafell National Park, an oasis surrounded by glaciers and black sand with many hiking possibilities and at the spectacular Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Enormous icebergs drift where you can walk along the banks of the lagoon to admire the fantastically-shaped icebergs.. Drive back to Kirkjubæjarklaustur area for a second night.
Today it is time to visit some of the most interesting and famous areas of Iceland: the famous geothermal area of Geysir where the Strokkur hot spring ejects its water column high into the air every 5-10 minutes and where numerous small springs boil and bubble. After this you only have a short drive to reach Gullfoss, surely the country’s most famous waterfall. Continuing towards Thingvellir (Þingvellir) consider one of the geological wonders of the world where you can see the effects of the tectonic plate movements which have opened various cracks and fissures in the earth’s crust. It was here that the Icelandic Parliament was founded in the 10th century Now you can either take some time to relax in Reykjavik or drive to the famous Blue Lagoon for a relaxing swim, if you did not stop at the Blue Lagoon on day one (approx. 120 km round trip). Overnight in Reykjavik.

Iceland Tours did a wonderful job in setting up the trip for me and my daughter. You chose excellent hotels and your routing was excellent. We rented a car which I highly recommend, 4 Wheel Drive is the way to go, was very easy getting around. They call this a once in a lifetime trip but we are coming back. We toured the entire south coast from the Blue Lagoon to the Glacier Lagoon / Ice Beach, it is a long drive but definitely well worth it.
