DAILY ITINERARY

‍

Day 1 – Saturday, August 23

It’s the biggest day of the year in Reykjavík! A day when the annual Reykjavík Marathon coincides with a huge public festival called Culture Night. All morning, runners fill the streets and spectators line the sidewalks. By afternoon, the streets are filling again as Icelanders from all over converge on the capital city to gather in parks, squares, museums and performance halls. Culture Night events are locally-created, free and open to everyone. It’s sunrise to sunset excitement that begins with a starting pistol and ends with fireworks over the harbor. You will have a wonderful chance to experience good old-fashioned Icelandic vitality, creativity and hospitality. Whatever time you fly in today, we’ll make sure you get a taste of the action. Our hotel, right in the center of town, will be a perfect home base for any and all of the festivities you want to take part in.

‍Day 2 – Sunday, August 24

Now, the real adventure begins. After a quick trip around the Golden Circle and its popular tour bus attractions (waterfalls, geysirs and fissures) we will embark on a more unique and private tour experience. We’ll take in the wonders of Iceland on our own schedule, in our own way. First stop: lunch at the Friðheimar family farm where tomato-everything is on the menu. From there, we’ll continue towards Selfoss where we diverge from the Golden Circle and head towards Southeast Iceland, where crowds disperse and nature abounds.

Day 3 – Monday, August 25

The wonders never cease. On this third day of the trip we have close encounters with spectacular waterfalls, dramatic canyons, and remarkable black sand beaches. We’ll start the day at Skógafoss, one of the largest waterfalls in the country. Bring your hiking boots and prepare to get wet and dirty. At each stop, we go deeper than most other visitors.

Day 4 – Tuesday, August 26

You will think you’ve seen it all, but there’s more. Like an ethereal black lagoon where house-sized chunks of glacier bob and swirl as they float to sea.  After a brief stop here, we will meet up with some local guides for a kayak and glacier adventure. We will paddle into places that very few visitors get to see and get so close to the glaciers that we can actually climb onto the ice. There will always be a chance to see plenty of wildlife as Iceland is home to many sheep, reindeer, puffins, seals, whales, and of course the iconic Icelandic horses.

‍

Day 5 – Wednesday, August 27

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll grab picnic supplies for the day. That way, we can hike and explore all day without having to stop for lunch. Our best hiking options will be at Skaftafell National Park, though we also have some less crowded places to explore along the way. Our destination for the day is the quaint seaside village of Vík with its famous black sand beaches.

‍

‍

Day 6 – Thursday, August 28

We’ll start the day with a little souvenir shopping before leaving Vík. Then we meet up with an old friend who leads us on a private hike through a dynamic geothermal landscape. Boiling water runs just beneath the surface of the ground in this area, leading to many hot springs in the nearby hills. In truth, the hike is NOT the highlight of this excursion. It’s the dip in a secret hot river followed by a special earth-baked meal. Bring your swimsuit and your appetite.

Day 7 – Friday, August 29

Before we go home, there is actually one more side of Iceland to see: the inside! Explore a volcano the way few dare to do by entering the The Lava Tunnel. It’s actually a 5,000-year-old lava tube with multiple caverns, and we’ll be supplied lanterns to find our way through. If we can find our way back out, we’ll be heading back to the airport (or Reykjavík) from there.
