Day 2
The Golden Circle
The guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at 08:45 am.
We tour the renowned Golden Circle including a visit to Thingvellir National Park where the forces of the Great Atlantic Rift are clearly visible. This is where the North American and European tectonic plates drift apart at a rate of 2-6 cm per year. Thingvellir is also the place where the ancient Icelandic parliament was established in 930. Then we head for the famous Geysir hot spring area, where Strokkur erupts every 5-10 minutes. We also visit Gullfoss (Golden) waterfall. After visiting these world famous sights and a visit to local horse stable and a greenhouse Friðheimar, we drive through the landscapes of South Iceland to our accommodation near the town of Vik, where we will stay for 2 nights at Hotel Katla. If weather permits, we head for a Northern Lights hunt, the guide chooses the night with better prospects.

Day 3
The Glacier lagoon
We head east, along the southern coast to the unique Jökulsárlon Glacier lagoon. The lagoon was formed around 60 years ago by the continuing process of calving and falling icebergs from the glacier tongue Breiðamerkurjökull. These icebergs are seen in two shades, one type in milky white, while the other type appears in a bright blue colour, which is caused by interplay of light and ice crystals. The lagoon is filled with fish that drift in from the sea along with the tides. Seals gather in large numbers at the mouth of the lagoon to catch the fish during the winter, which is a memorable sight.
We will drive through Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður/ National Park. l

Day 4
Volcanoes, waterfalls and the Blue Lagoon
Driving along the southern coast we encounter highlights such as the waterfalls Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss, as well as the glaciers and volcanoes of Myrdalsjökull/Katla and Eyjafjallajökull. We will visit the new and exciting Lava Centre which is an interactive, high-tech educational exhibition depicting volcano activity, earthquakes and the creation of Iceland over millions of years. The final highlight before getting back to Reykjavik is the spectacular Blue Lagoon. Enjoy soaking in the mineral rich water with its fine silica mud. In the late afternoon we arrive in Reykjavik, where we will stay at Hotel Klettur.
