Itinerary
Prepare to be transported into a world of dramatic landscapes that have inspired local lore of trolls and fairies. Dream of majestic waterfalls, glistening glaciers and hiking the volcanic landscapes as you head off into the countryside. We welcome you to Iceland, and invite you to ignite your imagination as you immerse yourself into the land of fire and ice. Stay: Landhotel Hella (D)
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. Stay: Landhotel Hella (B/L)
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. Stay: Landhotel Hella (B/L/D)
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. Stay: Hotel Husafell Reykholt (B/L)
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. Stay: Hotel Husafell Reykholt (B/L)
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. Stay: Hotel Husafell Reykholt (B/D)
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. Stay: Hotel Reykjavik Grand (B/D)
Today your adventure comes to an end and you can depart at any time. (B)
