Your included excursions —
South Shore Adventure (for stays of 7 nights or more)
This South Shore Adventure tour is ideal for nature lovers of all kinds. We take you along the south coast of Iceland, one of the country’s most scenic regions, as far as Vík, a charming village surrounded by high beautiful bird cliffs. Witness nature's showstoppers - Eyjafjallajökull, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and more!
Among the stops on this tour are the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. What makes Seljalandsfoss so famous and interesting is that you can walk behind it. Skógafoss is something of a film star, having been used as a backdrop in films such as Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
We will also stop at Reynisfjara black sand beach, with the Reynisdrangar rock formations and columnar basalt. Additionally, we stop by Sólheimajökull glacier and walk up to a small lake that has formed in front of the retreating glacier.

Your optional excursions —
Golden Circle & Fontana wellness tour
This amazing day tour takes you around the Golden Circle to see three of Iceland’s highlights; Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area, and Thingvellir National Park, before heading to Fontana’s natural steam baths.
The original sauna was built in the 1920s and was little more than a shack with two compartments, built above the hot spring that bubbles and gurgles below the ground. Today, a modern complex welcomes you to relax with various hot tubs and steam baths naturally heated by Icelandic hot springs.
Optional Sky Lagoon Pass (from 12 years old only)
Immerse yourself in the warmth of an ocean-side geothermal lagoon as the dramatic North Atlantic stretches out before you. Join us for rejuvenation and inspiration at the edge of the world.
Relax your mind, body and soul with the 7-step spa ritual, a truly unique journey that's at the heart of Iceland's newest geothermal experience. Enjoy amber sunsets and stormy skies, and sometimes the dancing Northern Lights as you relax and unwind.
Please note: The 7-step ritual will not be available from May 15 to June 5.
Golden Circle bus tour
The Golden Circle bus tour takes you on a day trip to see the world-famous Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss, the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, as well as Thingvellir National Park.
The Geysir geothermal area boasts spouting springs, including Strokkur, the most active geyser in Iceland.
Gullfoss Waterfall:
At Gullfoss you are given the opportunity to stand next to the amazing waterfall, watching enormous quantities of water tumble violently into a deep, meandering gorge.
Thingvellir National Park:
Whether you take the morning or the afternoon tour, you will spend your time encountering a cross-section of Iceland's natural wonders and geological phenomena at Thingvellir National Park, an area of historical and geological significance.
Lava tunnel tour
Visit the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir and witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption while you walk in the path of a lava that flowed thousands of years ago.
On this adventure, we visit the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir located only 30 minutes from Reykjavík. The lava tunnel is one of the biggest in Iceland and gets up to 30 metres wide and 10 metres high. The lava tube ceiling has caved in near the entrance, which creates beautiful columns of light. The fantastic range of colours of the tunnel wall is caused by the different mineral types of the rock.
This is a tour for the senses. Experience a new world, hear the talk of the cave and sense the forces of nature like you have never done before. Learn new things and step out of your comfort zone. Scenes from the Hollywood movie Noah, with Anthony Hopkins, were shot in this lava cave. You walk around 350 metres into the lava tunnel and the temperature in the cave is around 4 degrees, although it can be warmer outside and usually water leaks from the ceiling when it rains and snows, so we recommend raincoats.
Wonders of Snæfellsnes National Park (from 5 nights)
There is something so otherworldly about Snæfellsnes that Icelanders often associate it with spiritual experiences and folk tales. This tour provides an insight and spectacular views of this unique area where geological wonders boarder on the magical.
The Snæfellsnes peninsula in the West of Iceland is almost like a miniature version of the entire island. The area has beautiful samples of some of the natural wonders Iceland is so famous for.

Volcanoes & Villages: This tour stops at the small fishing village of Arnarstapi and provides real insight into quintessential volcanic craters. Along the way you’ll get great views of the iconic Kirkjufell mountain and the dark cliffs and black sand of Djúpalónssandur bay are a favourite among photographers.
The Star of the Show: In the middle of this beautiful peninsula sits Snæfellsjökull, the stunning glacier that has captured the imagination of people all over the world, including Jules Verne who began his Journey to the Centre of the Earth at Snæfellsjökull glacier. The tour offers numerous views of this beautiful landmark. It is after all the real star of the show.
