Overnight: Reykjavik

Day 2 - Blue Lagoon

Reykjavik - Reykjanes Peninsula - Blue Lagoon - Hella. Your morning starts with a tour of Reykjavik, Iceland's charming capital. From there, we'll head out of the city to the breathtaking Reykjanes Peninsula. Think quaint fishing villages, hot springs, and striking mountains.

Once darkness falls we'll head out to the garden and wait for the Northern Lights to appear.

Overnight: Hella
Meals: Breakfast

Day 3 - Glaciers & Waterfalls

Hella - Eyjafjallajokull - Skogafoss - Hella. Today is about the sheer force of nature's power - what makes Iceland, Iceland. The rumbling volcano of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The plunging Seljalandsfoss and thundering Skógafoss waterfalls. Later, there's an optional hike on the shimmering Solheimajokull glacier where you can take in the enchanting icy scenery. Please note: this optional hike must be booked in advance. Contact us to book.

We'll be back in Hella before it gets dark. It's your second chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights - keep your eyes peeled!

Further inland, we'll pass the mighty Gullfoss waterfall and through the rugged Thingvellir National Park.

This once-in-a-lifetime drive ends in Reykjavik. Your final evening is free for you to explore or join an optional evening cruise to spot the Northern Lights one final time.

Tour Reviews

I really enjoyed the tour. My only negative comment is I think the time at the Blue Lagoon was too short. Speaking with many of the people on the tour the consensus was that 1 3/4 hours was not enough time and since we when directly to the hotel afterwards that more time would have been appreciated.

The arrangements were fantastic. I got the vouchers to cover all aspects of the tour that were included in the package. I have nothing but high praise for the ‘ on the go tours’ as well as the tour partner company in Iceland.

Great tour, knowledgeable guide, comfortable coach. Klettur hotel average. Tiny room, no cafe/restaurant. Stracta hotel great. Only negative, sold as a 5 day tour. Not 5 day tour, a 3 day tour. Guide even said, welcome to the 3 day tour. Need to be more clear when selling this tour. Otherwise great.

Wonderful tour! We got a great overview of Iceland. Our tour guide was fantastic , very informative, making the tour Experience more enjoyable..

Excellent tour. Tour director was very nice and explained in detail. Driver was great and took our safety seriously. Had a great time!
