Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Tuesday - Aug 27, 2024
Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik, Iceland      
The world's most northerly capital enjoys almost 24-hour sunlight in summer, all the better to show off the city's eclectic architecture and dazzling natural wonders. Your English-speaking guide and driver meet you at the airport and take you to the Grand Hotel near the city center. If you like, walk to the nearby Saga Museum to brush up on Icelandic history, or catch a peek of historic Hofdi House, site of the 1986 summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that effectively ended the Cold War. Get a good night's sleep, because tomorrow will be a busy one. (Overnight at the Grand Hotel and airport transfer included)

After breakfast, head to Borgarfjordur, 56 miles from Reykjavik. This region was the setting for most of the Icelandic sagas and you'll learn some folk tales as you view the short, fierce rapids of Barnafoss Waterfall and the series of rivulets that form Hraunfossar Waterfall. After lunch, step into the dazzling, blue-hued Langjokull Ice Tunnels and marvel at the natural beauty of one of the most striking glacier caves in Iceland. Enjoy the evening at your leisure. (Overnight at the Grand Hotel, breakfast, and lunch are included.)

Reykjavik, Iceland      
Explore remarkable Thingvellir National Park after breakfast. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the world's oldest democratic parliament was founded in 930, and is also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Because of this unique geography, Iceland has magma close to the surface - one of the criteria required to produce geysers. See this in action at nearby Strokkur Geyser before lunch at Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Next up is Gullfoss waterfall, where icy water thunders down a double fall into a deep gorge. Travel to the small village of Fludir, home to the Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, then to the village of Stokkseyri for a dinner of local dishes before heading back to Reykjavik and the Grand Hotel. (Overnight at the Grand Hotel breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.)
