Here's a daily itinerary.
Day Zero
Leave US
Travelers from
North America leave for Iceland on an overnight flight with an
early morning arrival at Keflavik Airport in Iceland.
Day One
Welcome to Iceland!
You'll have a ticket for the Flybus
shuttle which will take you from Keflavik Airport and deliver you
to your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavik. You'll have the day to
enjoy Iceland's capitol, visit museums, shops and some of the many
fine coffee houses, and restaurants. Maybe you'll want to have a
very Icelandic experience and spend some time at one of the city's
geothermally heated swimming pools. Icelanders swim outside, all
year long, (and never, never in unheated water!)
We'
ll provide lots of ideas for things to do and see, and for
lunch and dinner, which is part of the fun!
Day Two
Reykjavik and the Blue
Lagoon
After breakfast you' ll be picked up for a tour of the city. At 12:30 you' ll be picked up for a 2.5 hour Reykjavik city tour. A visit is made to the current home of the world' s oldest parliament. There' s a stop at the towering church Hallgrimskirkja on top of the hill in the center of town, and then the lake where you may be hit up by some of the zillions of panhandling ducks. You' ll see modern suburbs contrasting with the older parts of the city with their colorful little houses and much more. The afternoon is free for shopping and sight-seeing in Reykjavik city center. At 6 you' ll set off for an evening tour to the Blue Lagoon. A drive through rough lava fields leads to the Blue Lagoon where you can soak in a rejuvenating geothermal wonder. The vivid blue water is naturally rich in minerals believed to have healing powers. There' s a great little restaurant here, too. It all makes for a relaxing evening!
Day Three
Golden Circle
Your guide today takes you to some " must see" sights of Iceland today. (Their uniqueness makes this well worth it!) You' ll be driven through the fertile lowlands of Southern Iceland to visit Gullfoss, one of Iceland' s most magnificent waterfalls. Known as the Queen of Iceland's waterfalls, it thunders over a double cascade in the glacial Hvit? River and if the sun is in the right place ther's a great rainbow. In a little while you' ll continue on to the hot spring area of Geysir, the home of the original boiling water spout, where Strokkur, the Churn boils up and erupts
every 10 minutes or so. You'll visit Thingvellir National Park,
which sits atop the North Atlantic ridge and where you can see the
edges of the European and American tectonic plates and a nice
variety of landforms and water. It's here that the old Viking
parliament, the Althingi, first met in the 9th century, only moving
to the building in downtown Reykjavik a century or so ago.
(The Seven day trip adds three more days here, we can help you fill in activities and things to do. You would end the trip on
Day Seven)
Day Four, or Seven if you chose 7 days of Reykjavik
Time to say good bye ...(or to keep on
going deeper into Iceland!)
The four day tour ends this morning after breakfast. You'
ll have the
morning free to explore Reykjavik, to see museums, shops and
galleries. The Flybus shuttle will return you to Keflavik
International Airport for your late afternoon flight (there'
s a bus
that includes a few hours at the Blue Lagoon if you need more of
that.) OR, you can use this 4 day tour as an introduction and go on
