Arriving in Iceland today, transfer over to Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital and largest city in Iceland. Begin your introduction to the city with a stroll along Skólavörðustígur, affectionately known as Rainbow Street. Lined with independent boutiques, art galleries and design shops, this vibrant stretch leads directly towards one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks.

Reykjavík
(Breakfast/Lunch/-)
Hotel: The Reykjavik EDITION or similar

Explore more of Reykjavík today, first with a visit to Harpa, an architectural masterpiece on the waterfront. Home of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, its shimmering geometric glass façade reflects the surrounding harbour and sky, creating ever-changing patterns of light. Continue to the Reykjavík Maritime Museum, located in the historic Old Harbour. Through engaging exhibitions and restored vessels, discover how fishing and seafaring shaped Iceland’s history, economy and identity.

After lunch, have some free time to explore at your own pace. Browse Reykjavík’s renowned Nordic design boutiques, visit cosy cafés serving artisanal pastries, or wander round its historic districts.

Day 03 (Tue, 15 Sep’26)
Reykjavík – Golden Circle – Hvolsvöllur
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: UMI Hotel or similar

Start today by going round Iceland’s golden circle! First up is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of rugged nature and beautiful scenery. This massive park where the tectonic plates meet is home to rift walls and lava plains and was the setting for the Viking parliament. Following that is a visit to Geysir, a hot spring area where you can see geysers erupt every few minutes. Each of the steaming spring pools in the area has different characteristics, from mineral blue water to muddy, bubbling ponds, with the occasional bursts of hot water into the air. Next, the ever-impressive Gullfoss is a two-tier waterfall set in a deep canyon along the Hvítá river, fed by Iceland’s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. With its stunning views and magnificent spray, it is no wonder that the roaring 32m falls is one of Iceland’s most visited sights.

Later, take part in a Geothermal Bakery Experience using geothermal energy from the hot springs of Laugarvatn to bake bread and visit the LAVA Centre where you can learn how Iceland was formed by volcanic eruptions and seismic activity over millions of years ago. The interactive displays will show how nature’s forces formed the earth as we know it and Iceland’s monitoring systems to combat natural disasters.

Day 04 (Wed, 16 Sep’26)
Hvolsvöllur
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: UMI Hotel or similar

Head along the south coast and see a few of Iceland’s magnificent waterfalls. Walk behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall in a beautiful meadow, for a breath-taking view from the other side. Get up close to the spray of the mighty Skógafoss and feel its power amid the roar of water plunging 60m down. Continue on to the Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara, once ranked as one of the top 10 non-tropical beaches in the world. The volcanic beach, created by rapidly cooled lava, is surrounded by spectacular basalt cliffs, columns and caves. The violent, rolling waves that crash on this dark shore make the view extra dramatic and impressive.

Day 05 (Thu, 17 Sep’26)
Hvolsvöllur – Vik – Fjaðrárgljúfur – Skaftafell – Öræfi
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Hotel Glacier Lagoon or similar

Moving on to the charming village of Vik this morning, you will be treated to an Icelandic Lava Show where you can see, hear, and feel the heat of real molten lava flowing before you in a recreation of a volcanic eruption.

Then, marvel at the massive canyon of Fjaðrárgljúfur stretching around 2km long and 100m deep. Formed by a glacial river during the Ice Age, the canyon is believed to be over 9,000 years old. More majestic nature awaits at Skaftafell National Park, part of the Vatnajökull National Park. Full of lush vegetation and rugged natural beauty, the scenery here is nothing short of breath-taking.

Afterwards, go on a guided glacier walk at the Svínafellsjökull Glacier, an outcrop of the massive Vatnajökull. Navigate its ice ridges, crevasses and ice sculptures and be rewarded with stunning scenery of the glacial world.

Day 06 (Fri, 18 Sep’26)
Öræfi – Jökulsárlón – Egilsstaðir
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Lake Hotel Egilsstaðir or similar

This morning, have a relaxing adventure sailing on Jökulsárlón, the “glacier lagoon”. Located on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park, Jökulsárlón is the deepest lake in Iceland and ever increasing in size as the glaciers melt. Sail through a maze of floating icebergs on the blue waters of the lagoon and keep an eye out for possible seal sightings!

Admire the stunning scenery and undulating coastline of the East Fjords later. Replete with quaint villages, lighthouses, rugged fjords and coastal roads along steep cliffs, the sweeping views here will take your breath away. From the unusual mineral formations of Berufjörður, to the fishing town of Stöðvarfjörður, home to Petra’s stone collection, to the trading post of Fáskrúðsfjörður, you will see the highlights of the East Fjords.

Day 07 (Sat, 19 Sep’26)
Egilsstaðir – Mývatn – Akureyri
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Akureyri Skald Hotel or similar

Exploring Mývatn today, see the “dark castles” of Dimmuborgir, strange lava formations spread over a large area, and the pseudo craters of Skútustaðir, created by gas explosions. As you journey towards Akureyri, make a stop at Goðafoss, the “waterfall of the gods” to see one of the most spectacular, and historically significant, falls in Iceland.

Later, spend some time exploring the “capital of the North”, Akureyri. The largest town in Iceland outside of Reykjavik, it is the centre of culture, education and leisure in Northern Iceland.

Day 08 (Sun, 20 Sep’26)
Akureyri
(Breakfast/Lunch/-)
Hotel: Akureyri Skald Hotel or similar

Northern Iceland is known for being one of the best places in the world to see whales and you will attempt to see these magnificent animals on a whale watching cruise this morning. Quietly sail out into the North Atlantic where you may find yourself in the company of these creatures, from humpback whales to porpoises, against the backdrop of dramatic mountains, if you are lucky.

In the afternoon, visit Gásir, a historic site that recreates Iceland’s most important medieval trading post. Once a bustling hub connecting Iceland with mainland Europe during the 12th to 16th centuries, Gásir offers insight into Viking-Age commerce and daily life. Wander through reconstructed turf buildings and learn about the goods, crafts and cultural exchanges that shaped Iceland’s early economy.

The remainder of the day is yours to unwind at leisure. Immerse yourself in the milky-blue waters of the Blue Lagoon, renowned for its silica and algae properties. Created by superheated sea water collecting in lava cavities, the mineral-rich water is said to cure skin ailments. Indulge in spa rituals inspired by Icelandic bathing traditions, relax in the steam caves carved into lava rock, or simply savour the stillness of this otherworldly landscape.
