Day-by-day itinerary
You are met at Keflavik airport by a representative and transferred to your hotel on a private basis. The road into Reykjavik crosses a lava field, which is a useful introduction to the rest of the country. The rest of the day is free. · Reykjavik
You travel from Reykjavik east to Vik on a private basis. The south coast road runs below the ice caps with the sea on the other side, and Vik sits beneath a headland at the southernmost point of the Icelandic mainland. · Vik
A day of sightseeing around Vik, conducted on a private basis. This stretch of coast holds the black sand beaches, the basalt columns and the sea stacks offshore, with glaciers inland — the most concentrated scenery in the south of the country. · Vik
You travel from Vik to Borgarnes on a private basis, taking in the Golden Circle on the way: Thingvellir, where the Atlantic rift runs through a valley and Iceland's parliament was founded; the hot spring at Geysir; and the Gullfoss waterfall. Sightseeing is on a private basis. · Borgarnes
A day touring West Iceland on a private basis from Borgarnes. The region has lava caves, waterfalls fed from beneath a lava field, and the hot springs that heat much of the area — it is quieter than the south and the roads are emptier. · Borgarnes
You travel from Borgarnes back towards Reykjavik along the shores of the Hvalfjörður, the long fjord north of the capital. The day includes the Blue Lagoon, the geothermal bathing complex set in a lava field, which is the usual way to end an Icelandic trip. · Reykjavik
Breakfast at the hotel, then check out and a private transfer from your Reykjavik hotel to Keflavik airport for your onward flight. Allow the check-in time your airline requires.
