After the Reykjavík tour we go on a guided afternoon tour to the famous Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is located in a sprawling, 800­-year­-old lava field in the heart of the Reykjanes Peninsula – a UNESCO Geopark. The spa site is on the National Geographic list of 25 wonders of the world, claiming it is a geothermal gift of nature. The Lagoon is famous for its ethereal milky-blue waters. Remaining at 39°C all year round, the waters are rich in silica and minerals. Soak in the Lagoon, slather on a silica mud mask and enjoy the complimentary drink at the swim-up bar. Travel to the Lagoon and back to Reykjavík is 2 hours. Stay in the Lagoon is 2 hours. Total time of this activity is therefore 4 hours.

Pickup 08:30 1 hour drive from Reykjavík to Þingvellir National Park. We tour the renowned Golden Circle, including visiting National Park and Rift Valley at Þingvellir, where the North American and European tectonic plates drift apart. In addition, the ancient Icelandic parliament was established there in 930. It is, therefore, a sacred place for Icelanders.

Next we head to the Geysir hot spring area (1 hour drive from Þingvellir), home to the famous Geysir hot spring from which all other geysers take their name. Geysir is no longer active, but another hot spring, Strokkur, erupts every few minutes. Here the guests have the opportunity to eat lunch.

We then visit Gullfoss next. Gullfoss, Iceland's iconic waterfall, is a breathtaking natural wonder located along the Hvítá River. Plunging into a rugged canyon, the falls create a stunning two-tiered cascade, captivating visitors with its thunderous roar and misty ambiance. The name "Golden Falls" is fitting, as the waters often take on a golden hue in the sunlight. Accessible viewing platforms offer an up-close encounter with the sheer power and beauty of Gullfoss, making it a must-see destination for those exploring Iceland's awe-inspiring landscapes. From Gullfoss we travel back to Reykjavík (about 2 hour drive)

Pickup 08:30 On this day, we will enjoy a ride along the south coast of Iceland. This coastal road offers views of glacier tongues, waterfalls, rugged hills, black sand beaches, and its famous volcanoes. We travel to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall (about 2 hour drive from Reykjavík), with a height of 60 m. You can walk behind the waterfall but dress well, as the water mist behind the waterfall can make you wet.

Next, we admire the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall. It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country, 60 m high and 25 m wide. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is usually visible on sunny days.

Next, we stop by the black sand beach at Reynisfjara to view the geological formation and the smashing waves. Be careful not to step too close as the waves can be dangerous.

Before heading back to Reykjavík, we visit Vík í Mýrdal, a seafront village that sits in the shadow of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which covers the Katla volcano. Drive back to Reykjavík is about 3 hours with some stops on the way.

Explore the whales of Reykjavík under the excellent guidance of marine biologist guides and learn all about the incredible wildlife that call Iceland their home. The bay is even full of birdlife, from puffins and gannets to guillemots and more, that actively feed on the plentiful fish found in the bay. Magnificent landscapes surround the area and add a unique contrast to the vast ocean, where the spectacular views on the horizon are certainly not to be missed. You board the whale watching boat through the Visitor Centre, where you will find several outdoor viewing platforms, a heated indoor saloon with large viewing windows, a cafeteria where you can buy light refreshments, toilet facilities and a cloak room where you can borrow our blankets and overalls for the duration of the tour. You can stay outside in the fresh air but you are also welcome to settle inside the heated lounge and observe from within.
