5 Day Nordic Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Iceland

Private transfer from the airport to Reykjavík where you spend the night.

Day 2: Reykjavik City Tour, The Blue Lagoon & Reykjanes Peninsula

Meet your guide at 09:00 to show the group Iceland's vibrant capital. Next, head to the Reykjanes Peninsula, which is home to hot springs and mountains, as well as bird
cliffs and lighthouses. We can end the day by soaking in the warm mineral water of
the Blue Lagoon. Two nights are spent in South Iceland. Our tour guide tells us about
the Northern Lights in the evening at Stracta Hotel Hella. Stracta Hotel Hella's
grounds are large and dark, and a great place to search for Northern Lights if weather
conditions are good. You will need patience, warm clothes, and excitement that
"maybe you could see Northern Lights". Hot tubs and saunas are also available to
guests at the hotel.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Day 3: South Iceland With optional Glacier Hike

We will travel along the South Coast to the area where the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier is
located. Seljalandsfoss, a narrow but high waterfall that plunges down the
mountainside, is our first stop. We then visit the Skogar Folk Museum, which contains
a collection of farm and household artifacts and turf-built homes from Iceland's
history. Skogafoss, a 60-meter-high waterfall, is nearby. It's one of Iceland's most
impressive falls.

We offer a glacier walk in the afternoon. A glacier walk is a unique experience that
will leave you with lasting memories. This activity lasts about 3 hours, including 90
minutes of ice walking and a 30-45 minute walk from the parking area to the edge of
the glacier. The minimum age to hike the glacier is 10. Bring warm clothing, hiking
boots, and rain gear. If you choose to take the glacier tour, you will not be able to visit
Reynisfjara.
If you have booked the trip but not the glacier hike then you will continue the tour
further south to the bird cliffs of Reynisfjara, near Vik. The evening presentation is
about the Northern Lights. You can see the Northern Lights if the sky is clear. They will
dance in the sky in all kinds of shapes, colors and patterns.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Day 4: Golden Circle

You will learn about Icelandic horses, their special qualities, and history, as well as
visit a geothermal greenhouse (not included in the price for 1-9 people, but
available upon request). The Golden Circle is the route to take. As you approach
the geothermal fields of Geysir, see steam rising. You can find a wide range of hot
springs, bubbling pools, and other attractions. Strokkur, "the Churn", which erupts
every 5-10 minutes, has replaced the original geyser. The next stop is Gullfoss.
This double waterfall plunges 34 meters down into the Hvita River and attracts
both tourists and travelers during summer and winter.

Then, head inland to Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is
a must-see before you return to Reykjavik to spend your final night.
