Accommodation in Reykjavik

Today star sightseeing adventure around the famous sites of the Golden Circle.

You will be picked up from Reykjavík in a minibus and taken to a stable in the countryside where you will meet and ride the Icelandic horse.

Later, make your way to Þingvellir National Park. It is famous due to its geology and history. The edges of North American and Eurasian tectonic plates loom over the sides of the park, and as they pull apart, they tear open ravines that fill with spring water.

Then move on to Haukadalur Valley, famed for its geysers. The largest of these, Geysir and its neighbour Strokkur erupts every five to ten minutes to heights that can exceed over twenty metres. The valley is filled with other hot springs, as well as fumaroles and mud pots.

Lastly, visit the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. This waterfall, which is within the Hvítá glacier river, falls in two tiers with incredible power into an ancient canyon. If rays of sun hit the spray coming from the waterfall, it creates some beautiful rainbows.

Today, head across the beautiful South Coast of Iceland.

First visit the two of the most famous waterfalls in the country, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Both these waterfalls fall from over sixty metres high, from cliffs that marked Iceland’s coast during the last ice age. Other than that, Seljalandsfoss is unique in the sense that the cliff behind it is concave; it is possible to fully encircle the water for some great perspectives when conditions allow. Skógafoss, meanwhile, is much more powerful and classic in its form.

The next stop is Sólheimajökull. This magnificent ice cap is vast and beautifully coloured, blending white snow, blue ice and black ash. Enjoy a glacier hiking tour here and explore the otherworldly landscapes atop one of Iceland’s glaciers.

As evening rolls around, reach Reynisfjara, a beautiful stretch of black-sand beach, renowned for its geology. See the Dyrhólaey rock arch curving into the ocean, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks towering from the water’s surface.

Remember to look up to the sky tonight for a chance to see the brilliant Northern Lights.
