About this trip
Six days circling Iceland's Ring Road and Golden Circle, covering the country's big-ticket natural sights without doubling back on yourself. Glaciers, hot springs, black sand beaches, volcanic craters and waterfalls all feature as you make your way around.
Beyond the driving and sightseeing, there's room for a couple of proper add-on experiences — whale watching in the north and ice caving in the south — plus a soak at Vök Baths to unwind.
What you'll do
- Drive the Ring Road and Golden Circle
- Walk on a glacier and visit a glacier lagoon
- Whale watching in North Iceland
- Ice caving in South Iceland
- See black sand beaches and volcanic craters
- Soak at Vök Baths
- Fully guided, small group format
- Covers a lot of ground in six days, so expect regular travel between stops
Worth it if you want comprehensive Ring Road coverage with expert guides and don't mind cramped bus conditions. Think twice if you need personal space or have mobility concerns.
- Guides consistently knowledgeable on Icelandic history, geography, and weather-adaptive—adjusted itineraries around blizzards without sacrificing major sights.
- Bus significantly overcrowded beyond advertised capacity; cramped seats with knees pressed forward, overhead bins too small for day packs.
- Booking administration failed catastrophically for at least one guest; Tour Radar booking not entered into company system, causing two-hour pickup delay.
- Covers Iceland comprehensively in six days—Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, Glacier Lagoon, East Fjords, Lake Mývatn—with optional ice cave and thermal bath add-ons.
