Land of the Northern Lights Comfort - 5 daysWINTER TOUR: Experience Iceland’s natural wonders on this five-day adventure, beginning and ending in Reykjavik. Unwind in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon, marvel at crashing waterfalls like Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, and explore the dramatic landscapes around Eyjafjallajökull volcano. From the black sands of Reynisfjara to the steaming geysers of the Golden Circle, each day brings unforgettable sights. Keep your eyes on the skies in Hella for a chance to spot the Northern Lights.

Worldwide Touring5The outside scenery was fantastic; loved the waterfall visits and the beach. And the Blue Lagoon was good. Seeing the Northern Lights was excellent; guide gave a really helpful briefing beforehand and was helpful in making sure we saw them. The stop at the sculpture park in Reykjavik was unnecessary as not much to see. Felt like we had too long at the folk museum and wished we'd had longer at the waterfall instead so we could hike up with more time - maybe make that an either / or?
Snaefellsnes & South Iceland - 5 daysYEAR-ROUND TOUR: Uncover the best of South Iceland on this 5-day tour with a memorable glacier hike and ice cave tour included. From Reykjavik, explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, home to Viking legends and dramatic scenery. Take in the iconic Golden Circle, including Thingvellir National Park, Geysir and Gullfoss. See the black sand of Reynisfjara, hike to a viewpoint overlooking Skogafoss and end your tour back in the Icelandic capital.Worldwide Touring5The content was great and loved the Misel had the flexibility to make changes to accommodate the small group. He is an outstanding guide. Bus on the later part of the tour needed maintenance- broken seats and door didn’t seal so made a terrible noise. Food was good at the accommodation but very limited - they need to offer more than just burgers.

Worldwide Touring5Our tour guide was fantastic. Due to the weather limitations the schedule had to change but he made it work. The Glacier walk was incredible, breathtaking. All the scenery is a must-see. The museum could be skipped. It did feel a little bit like a time filler.

Worldwide Touring5Best tour guide. Andre was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Hotel Cabin. Rooms were too small to feel comfortable. I’d rather pay more in order to get a more comfortable room

Many trips begin and finish in the capital, combining planned sightseeing days with enough breathing space to explore at your own pace.

Accommodation
Accommodation in Reykjavik varies by trip, with a mix of 2 star, 3 star and 4 star hotels used across the range depending on the route, season and travel style.

Why visit Reykjavik
From Reykjavik city sights to the Golden Circle and south coast scenery
Reykjavik combines a creative city atmosphere with easy access to Iceland’s headline scenery. A short drive can bring travelers to the rift landscapes of Thingvellir National Park, the erupting geothermal activity around Geysir, and the power of Gullfoss. Coastal routes reveal black-sand beaches, basalt formations and thundering waterfalls, while glacier regions add ice caves, lagoon viewpoints and crisp, open horizons. In the capital, landmarks such as Hallgrimskirkja and Harpa Concert Hall sit alongside lively streets and harbor views. Seasonal experiences can be a highlight too, with Northern Lights-focused departures in winter and long daylight hours during the midnight sun period on summer itineraries. For a different perspective, some tours include time on the water for whale watching in Icelandic seas.
