Flight to Keflavik and transfer to Reykjavík. The drive through vast lava fields and along the coast already provides a first glimpse of Iceland's unique landscape. In Reykjavík, there's time for a first stroll through the old town, along the waterfront promenade, or to the striking Hallgrímskirkja church. Two nights' accommodation.

In the morning, meet your tour guide and take an excursion to the Golden Circle. We'll explore Thingvellir, where the Icelandic Althing convened from 930 onwards, and where the island's geological forces become visible. Weather and road conditions permitting, we'll make a side trip to Nesjavellir. In Haukadalur, we'll experience the active geyser Strokkur before encountering Gullfoss with its immense cascades. Return to Reykjavík. (approx. 220 km)

Today's leg of our journey takes us through the diverse landscapes of West and North Iceland. After a short climb, we'll enjoy the sweeping views across the lava fields at the Gråbær crater.

Overnight stay near Goðafoss. (approx. 430 km)

The area around Lake Mývatn is one of Iceland's most fascinating volcanic regions. The pseudocraters of Skutustaðir, the bizarre lava formations of Dimmuborgir, and the steaming, colorful geothermal fields of Námaskarð bear witness to Iceland's volcanic power. The journey then continues to the mighty Dettifoss waterfall, whose waters plunge into a deep gorge. April/May trip: two nights in Bakkagerdi.
