Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Reykjavík
Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to relax and unwind.

Day 2: Reykjavík | South Iceland
Visit the Reykjavik Volcano House where you can examine various pieces of pumice, ash, and lava from Icelandic volcanoes. Later on, drive to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and where the Althingi, the oldest legislative assembly in the world was founded. This is one of Iceland’s most fascinating places both geologically and for the role it plays in the country’s history and sense of national identity. Explore the hot springs and geysers in Geysir and Strokkur. Next, travel to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls. It is a double waterfall that tumbles 100 feet into the Hvítá River. Once darkness falls, you are out in the garden waiting for the Northern Lights. (B)

Day 3: South Iceland | Vatnajokull National Park
Travel to Jökulsárlón to explore the extraordinary glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs and possibly see seals swimming in arctic waters. You can walk on the black sandy beach where large icebergs get stranded.

At night, you will be searching for the Northern Lights in this remote and quiet location. (B)
