Welcome to Iceland – the land of Fire and Ice

Golden Circle Excursion – Selfoss (210Km)

Breakfast in the hotel.

You start the day with a visit to the Northern Lights Center in Reykjavik, to better understand this spectacular phenomenon. Once equipped with this precious knowledge, you will head towards the Golden Circle.

Drive through the road to Lake Laugarvatn then to Thingvellir National Park, “the Parliament Valley” which was the cradle of Icelandic democracy in the year 930 and the first European parliament. It is a historically and geologically interesting place, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Continue with the exploration of the site of the geysers where the Strokkur emits a column of hot water 20 meters high every 7/10 minutes approximately. Finally, you will see the Hvita, "the white river", coming from the Highlands of the interior, which turns into a magnificent cataract, Gullfoss, "the golden fall", rushing into a deep canyon of basalt. At the end of the day, you will enjoy a moment of relaxation in the naturally warm water of the Secret Lagoon (towel rental included).

Overnight in the Selfoss Hotel or similar (B)
Day 3 Selfoss - South Coast – Vik Area (160 Km)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Selfoss - South Coast – Vik Area (160 Km)

Breakfast in the hotel.

Departure towards the south coast of Iceland which is one of the locations of several scenes from the Game of Thones series.

The Seljalandsfoss waterfall will be your stop before continuing to Skogafoss, with a photo stop at Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which erupted in 2010.

The Skogafoss Waterfall is 60 meters, which the wind ripples and sometimes adorns itself with a magnificent rainbow.

You will then visit the Ecomuseum of Skógar, where the wide collection offers a historical overview of the living conditions of Icelanders in this southern part of the island.

Then you will pass through Dyrholaey, which is the southernmost tip of Iceland, where the only cliffs on the south coast are located - the remnants of an ancient crater. On these cliffs, arches and peaks nest many seabirds and in particular puffins. Finally, walk on the immense lunar beach of black sand of Reynisfjara, which stretches as far as the eye can see (the black sand comes from a gigantic volcanic eruption, which generated one of the most important lava flows of the last centuries), at the foot of basalt cliffs. The colour contrast is particularly striking in winter.

Arrival in Vik at the end of the day and stop at the woolen clothing/accessory factory, an opportunity to buy some souvenirs.

Day 4 Vik Region– Skaftafell- Jokulsarlon- Vik Region (410Km)

Vik Region– Skaftafell- Jokulsarlon- Vik Region (410Km)

Breakfast in the hotel.

Today you will head to the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull and explore Skaftafell National Park. Visiting the park in winter is a real treat as you can see the tongues of the glacier spreading across the shore. Although surrounded by glaciers, the park is among the least snow-affected areas in Iceland due to southerly winds. The landscape of Skaftafell is often compared to that of the Alps, it’s up to you to make up your own mind.

You will continue to the famous Jökulsarlon glacier lagoon where you will see luminous icebergs drifting by. Photo stop on Diamant beach then return to the hotel.

You will then discover the Reykjanes peninsula, the youngest and most southwestern part of Iceland. On your return, visit the Lava Show where you will experience a miniature volcanic eruption by approaching a few meters from a real lava outpouring. Thanks to this unique experience, you will learn more about Icelandic geology and its extreme volcanic activity.
