Iceland Circle Private Tour

The whole day is dedicated to the marvels of the Lake Mývatn Nature Reserve, known as one of Iceland’s most fascinating areas of natural beauty. On the way to Mývatn, you’ll make a stop at the impressive Goðafoss “The waterfall of the gods”. At the end of the day your guide will drive you back to Akureyri for a second overnight stay.

This morning’s drive takes you to the charming fishing village of Húsavík. After a stop here you will continue along the coastline of the Tjörnes peninsula. Your guide will take a short stop at the extremity of the peninsula so you can enjoy the view and spot some seabirds. The journey will continue to the eastern part of Iceland, with a few stops on the way including the magnificent Ásbyrgi canyon.

Now it is time to discover the East Fjords. You’ll start by heading to Reyðarfjörður, where you can visit the small history museum about World War II. Your guide will continue the drive along the fjords towards south-east Iceland. At times, the road hangs precariously high on the mountain slopes, providing excellent views. Finally, you’ll pass through the tunnel of Almannaskarð to arrive in the Höfn region where you will stay the night.

Your guide will take you along the south-east of Iceland. After passing various outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest ice cap, you will arrive at the famous glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón. This is an exceptional sight nestled at the foot of Iceland’s highest mountain, Hvannadalshnúkur.

Later, you’ll continue towards the Skaftafell Nature Reserve, another area worthy of your attention. This oasis surrounded by glaciers and black sand plains has many good hiking trails. You’ll then journey through Kirkjubæjarklaustur village, the Eldhraun lava field and the Mýrdalssandur plain before arriving in the Vík area.

Today, be amazed by the gems of the south coast of Iceland with the magnificent waterfalls Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. Then, your guide will take you around the famous Golden Circle route, which includes the most popular attractions in Iceland, Gullfoss, Geysir, and Þingvellir National Park.

After these spectacular days in the countryside, it‘s time to head back to Reykjavík and say goodbye to your guide. If you are staying extra nights in the capital, we can help you plan some optional activities. Please contact your travel consultant for more information.
