Itinerary

Day 1
  • Touch down in Iceland and make your way to your hotel in the capital for your first overnight stay. Airport transfers are available as an optional add-on during booking. Use the evening to get acquainted with Reykjavík — explore its lively downtown, dine in cosy restaurants, or browse local boutiques and galleries.

Day 2
  • Set out on Iceland’s famous Golden Circle, one of the country’s most iconic sightseeing routes. This full-day guided tour takes you through the rift valley at Þingvellir National Park, the bubbling geothermal area of Geysir — where Strokkur erupts every few minutes — and the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, a highlight in every season and especially striking when framed by winter ice.

    For those visiting in the darker months, you can add an optional Northern Lights evening tour. Expert guides monitor aurora and weather conditions, leading you away from city lights to the best possible viewing spots. The excursion is usually planned for your second night, with flexibility to reschedule if conditions are unfavourable.

    Note: The Golden Circle Tour operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Therefore, it may not always take place on day 2 of your trip — the exact day will depend on which weekday you book. This will also determine the order of any optional tours you choose to include in your itinerary.
