About this trip

Eight days circling Iceland on the Ring Road, taking in the big landscapes without rushing between just one or two spots. You get the Golden Circle classics alongside quieter corners like the East Fjords, with a proper guide handling the driving and logistics.

Expect waterfalls, glaciers and coastline in fairly quick succession, with a stay in Akureyri up north breaking up the loop. There's a whale watching cruise, a glacier hike, and either a Super Jeep run or snowmobiling near Reykjavik depending on when you travel.

Runs year-round, so the trip shifts with the seasons — long light and green valleys in summer, a chance of the Northern Lights if you go in winter.

What you'll do

  • Visit Thingvellir National Park, Geysir and Gullfoss on the Golden Circle
  • Walk behind the falls at Seljalandsfoss
  • Hike a glacier in Vatnajokull National Park
  • Explore the remote East Fjords
  • Take a 3-hour whale watching cruise from Akureyri
  • Super Jeep tour or snowmobiling near Reykjavik, depending on season
Good to know
  • Covers a lot of ground on the Ring Road, so expect regular travel days between stops
  • Fully guided, with a mix of nature walks, a glacier hike and boat and vehicle excursions
  • Northern Lights are only a possibility on winter departures, not guaranteed
