You will be picked up by small minivan and explore Þingvellir National Park. The home of Iceland’s ancient Viking parliament and listed as a UNESCO’s World Heritage site will be our first stop. There you will take a walk to experience firsthand the geological phenomenon that is the Mid-Atlantic ridge before visitng Gulfoss the Golden Waterfall and Geysir spouting water sometimes up to 40m high.

Stops will also be made at Efstidalur dairy farm, known for its organic homemade ice cream and
Friðheimr tomato farm where you can purchase lunch. Return to Reykjavik in the late afternoon.

Embark on a scenic journey from Reykjavik to the South Coast of Iceland and be amazed by the striking transition from lush lowlands to dramatic mountainous terrain, complete with glaciers and volcanoes. Your first stop is the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where, if conditions permit, you can walk behind the cascading water. Next visit the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfall followed by Skógafoss, a magnificent 60-meter waterfall, perfect for photography and a moment of awe in nature's grandeur. Continue to Vík í Mýrdal, Iceland's only coastal village without a harbour, where sweeping views from the church provide a fantastic vantage point for photos. At Reynisfjara, the famous black sand beach, explore the striking coastal cliffs and watch as powerful North Atlantic waves crash onto the shore. Finally, cap off your adventure with a visit to Sólheimajökull glacier, where you can step onto the ice before returning to Reykjavik.

This morning, your private transfer will take you to Reykjavik domestic airport where you'll board a 60 minute flight to the beautiful town of Akureyri.

Often referred to as the "capital" of the north, Akureyri is by far the largest town in the north of Iceland and it's the second largest urban area in Iceland with a population little less than 20,000. Located only 60 kilometres from the Arctic circle, the mountains in the area are often capped with snow year round, and in the winter they offer some of the best skiing in the country.

Transfer by private car to your Hotel.

This afternoon, you can walk to the Forest Spa - we have included entry for you.

For the next two nights you'll be staying at the comfortable hotel right in the town's centre. There is the possibility to go on another Northern Lights tour this evening if desired.

Today you will be entering the other worldly landscapes of Lake Myvatn where the scenes for "North of the Wall" were filmed. You will be picked up at your hotel at 9am and then have a full day of touring this area.

The Lake Mývatn area is considered by many to be the most beautiful and, at the same time, the most catastrophic place in Iceland. Discover the magical wonderland of Lake Myvatn with an experienced local tour guide including all the top attractions. This tour is unique in that you also visit the amazing Dettifoss waterfall, the most powerful waterfall in Europe features in films such as Promethius.

You will stop along the way for lunch (not included) and we recommend bringing good walking shoes, water bottle and warm clothing in winter time.

This morning, fly back to Reykjavik and then transfer to the Blue Lagoon for a therapeutic afternoon and evening in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon. Stay overnight at the Northern Light Inn, which is just a stone's throw from the international airport.
