Breakfast at the hotel. Full day tour 'Golden Circle' included. This popular excursion introduces you to some of the best known historical sites and natural phenomena in Iceland.

You will start by visiting Nesjavellir, a high temperature geothermal area in the scenic landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn. From there you will go to the Þingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was founded in the year 930 AD. Þingvellir is geologically remarkable and the tectonic plate boundaries form breathtaking scenery. Continue to the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, where you can walk so close to the edge that you may feel the mist of the glacial water. The lunchbreak is usually at the Gullfoss Cafe or at the Information Center at the geothermal area around Geysir. From here travel towards the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. Proceed to Skálholt church, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops and Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural village. Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee visits to Nesjavellir in the winter season. Instead you would visit Hellisheidi power plant.  

Breakfast at the hotel. Day at leisure in Reykjavik. We have a wide range of optional excursions available for an additional charge, here are some of our favourites.

Iceland from Below - Available throughout the year, this tour takes you to unique sights of Iceland’s most spectacular lava tube caves and craters. Enter through narrow cave entrances which reveal extraordinary scenery of colours and lava formations. These beautiful, natural phenomena were created when the surface lava hardened and the fluid lava continued to flow in tubes underneath. The caves become wide and high and in many places the floor is quite even. However, the trip can become rather difficult so we recommend you bring good walking shoes or hiking boots which are suitable for uneven lava surfaces. Respect for nature and safety are our main concerns. There are no handrails, lights or any pre-installed tools in or around the caves. We rely completely on the equipment we carry and that people respect our guidelines. This tour is suitable for all who can walk on uneven surfaces and at times, on all four. Prices from £76 per person.

Blue Lagoon Direct - Enjoy all the qualities the Blue Lagoon has to offer! The Blue Lagoon is a unique geothermal spa situated in the youngest lava field in west Iceland. Once there you have many recreational options such as walking in the Blue Lagoon’s spectacular surroundings, bathing in the milky blue-green water, relax in a geothermal steam bath or release the stress from your shoulders under a Blue Lagoon waterfall. For a unique experience indulge yourself with an outdoor massage or one of the spa treatments available there (additional charge). On site there is also a fantastic restaurant with a la carte menu and a Blue Lagoon shop, selling skin care products based on a unique blend of Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater active ingredients: minerals, silica, and algae. There are four departures from Reykjavík to choose from, complimentary pick up service is available from your hotel or guesthouse in Reykjavík. Driving time to the Blue Lagoon takes around 50 minutes. Prices from £27 per person (price includes the bus transfers, entrance to the bathing area is payable on arrival at the Blue Lagoon)

Into The Blue - The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s best kept secrets. Silfra, which is situated in the heart of Þingvellir, the site of the world’s oldest parliament, is an otherworldly scene. The crystal clear water in the deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float down with the lazy current. Frequently rated as one of the world’s top ten dive sites, the Silfra offers up to 100 meters of underwater visibility and is located on top of the separation between Europe and America! After an hour of snorkelling we climb out and head back to the car. Prices from £89 per person

Blue Ice - Here is your chance to visit a glacier and not just any glacier, this trip will take you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Sólheimajökull. It is a magnificent phenomenon, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water.

Along the way you can try your hand at ice climbing. You will be provided with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety lines. En route back to Reykjavik you will stop at the beautiful Skógafoss waterfall. Prices from £131 per person
