About this trip

Three days out of Reykjavik covering Iceland's headline sights, from the Golden Circle to the south coast glaciers. It's fully guided, so you're not worrying about icy roads or navigation, just taking in the scenery.

You'll see Thingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur geyser erupt, and stand by Gullfoss before heading south to Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. The route continues to the black sands of Diamond Beach and the icebergs of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.

What you do next depends on the season — winter brings glacier hiking and a natural ice cave on Vatnajokull, with a chance of the Northern Lights, while summer swaps this for the Katla ice cave and a hike to Svartifoss.

What you'll do

  • Watch Strokkur geyser erupt in the Golden Circle
  • See Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, and Skogafoss waterfalls
  • Walk the black sands of Diamond Beach
  • View icebergs at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
  • Winter: hike Vatnajokull Glacier and enter a natural ice cave, with a chance of the Northern Lights
  • Summer: explore the Katla ice cave and hike to Svartifoss
Good to know
  • Runs year-round, but the glacier and ice cave activities differ between winter and summer departures
  • Fast-paced given the length — three days cover a lot of ground from Reykjavik to the south coast and back
  • Northern Lights sightings depend on conditions and aren't guaranteed
