about this tour
Experience the magic of Iceland on a tour that circles the entire island, combining natural highlights with cultural insight. As you travel, you’ll see landscapes shaped by volcanic and geothermal activity, including powerful waterfalls, black sand beaches, rugged cliffs, and wide national parks. Geothermal features are present throughout, from bubbling mud pools and steamy vents to hot springs where you can pause and relax. The route also includes time in small towns and quiet villages, where local traditions and daily life offer a contrast to the wild surroundings. These stops provide a chance to enjoy home-cooked meals, meet craftspeople, and learn how communities have adapted to Iceland’s environment. You’ll visit remote stretches of coastline, walk through moss-covered lava fields, and take in the stillness of glacier valleys. Whether it’s standing near the spray of a waterfall, soaking in a naturally heated pool, or watching seabirds along the cliffs, each moment offers something different. The tour balances peaceful experiences with more active ones, all set against Iceland’s dramatic and ever-changing landscape. This journey is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors, are curious about how people live in remote places, and want to see both well-known sights and quieter corners of the country. It offers a well-paced and thoughtful way to experience Iceland in full. You’ll leave with a stronger sense of how nature and community continue to shape life across the island.

CAVE HOUSE TOUR Visit a cave house during your tour, where a private host will explain how Icelanders once lived in caves and built homes within them to improve insulation and comfort during harsh winters. This way of living, still remembered by older generations, made use of natural formations to create warm and practical spaces. The visit offers a closer look at how people adjusted to their surroundings using straightforward techniques, many of which continue to be appreciated for their resourcefulness and connection to the land.

Golden Circle - Cave Houses - Tomato FarmThe Golden Circle is Iceland's most renowned day tour route, taking visitors through Þingvellir National Park, where the world’s oldest parliament was established in 940. This area is also geologically significant, as it marks the division between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. To offer a more intimate experience away from the usual crowds, the tour ventures into lesser-known areas. A visit to a cave house provides a glimpse into how Icelanders once lived in caves for better insulation and comfort. Þingvellir is revisited from a fresh perspective, including a stop at a cathedral where live music may be heard. The journey also includes dining in a greenhouse at Friðheimar Tomato Farm, where tomato soup, fresh-baked bread, and other local dishes are served in a warm, plant-filled environment.

Waterfalls & Coffee with LocalsThe first visit today is to Brúarfoss Waterfall, renowned for its striking blue color, often referred to as "Iceland’s Bluest Waterfall." To reach it, you can either hike a 7 km (4.4 mile) trail, which also offers views of smaller waterfalls along the way, or your private guide can transfer you directly by car. Nearby, Faxi Waterfall, also known as Vatnsleysufoss, is located in the Tungufljót River, a powerful waterway that eventually merges with the larger Hvítá River. Despite its proximity to the popular Golden Circle route, many tourists pass by this scenic spot. Close to Faxi, you’ll also find Gullfoss Waterfall in the Hvítá River Canyon, where water flows down a three-step staircase before plunging into a 32-meter-deep canyon. Gullfoss is accessible from both the main parking area and a path leading closer to the falls, though caution is advised, especially in winter when the paths can be slippery. Not far from Faxi is Geysir Hot Spring, the origin of the word "geyser." Although the Great Geysir no longer erupts frequently, its nearby counterpart, Strokkur, regularly sends boiling water up to 50 meters into the air. After exploring these natural wonders, you'll have the chance to experience "kaffitími," Iceland's tradition of gathering for coffee and conversation. You’ll be warmly invited into a local home to enjoy this cherished custom, complete with coffee and pastries.

Vik & Ice Cave TourAfter breakfast, there is a transfer to Vik, a charming village nestled on the southern coast of Iceland. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, Vik is known for its stunning black sand beaches, which stretch for miles along the coastline and are framed by dramatic basalt rock formations. The village itself is small but welcoming, with colorful houses contrasting the rugged landscape. Myrdal, the broader area in which Vik is located, is famous for its dramatic landscapes, including the iconic Reynisfjara beach with its hexagonal basalt columns and towering sea stacks. The region is also home to the haunting Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the impressive Dyrhólaey promontory. You will meet the specialised guides at the base located in the town of Vík, for a round trip lasting approximately three hours to the Ice Cave. Transport is specially modified super jeep headed for Kötlujökull glacier, the one-hour drive each way is as much an adventure as exploring the ice cave itself. The route offers stunning scenery, albeit with a slightly bumpy road. Distinguishing an ice cave experience from a glacier hike, the former involves venturing inside and beneath the glacier, revealing mesmerizing clear blue hues, while the latter entails walking atop the glacier's surface.

Múlagljúfur Canyon - Stokksnes - DjúpivogurMúlagljúfur Canyon, along with Hangandifoss and Múlafoss waterfalls, is one of Iceland’s most scenic attractions, though its remote location and limited information have kept many from visiting. Located in the south of Iceland, the canyon offers narrow paths, overgrown bushes, and loose rocks, making it a perfect spot for summer hikes with family or friends. Autumn and spring can make the trails muddy, while winter hiking requires proper gear due to icy conditions. The trail provides stunning views of Vatnajökull glacier, Hangandifoss, and Múlafoss, though the path is unmarked and visitors must navigate streams and bushes to reach the canyon’s rim. Despite these challenges, the hike is rewarding, with Hangandifoss standing as one of Iceland’s tallest waterfalls and Múlagljúfur’s plunging waterfalls adding to the beauty of the landscape. Nearby, Vestrahorn mountain on the Stokksnes peninsula rises 454 meters, surrounded by black sand beaches and dramatic cliffs, making it a must-see for nature lovers. Finally, Djúpivogur, the southernmost district of the east, offers serene beauty, with bird-rich lagoons, fjords, and the striking Búlandstindur mountain, said to grant wishes during the summer solstice. This area is ideal for experiencing nature and a peaceful way of life.

Lake Myvatn RegionThe region surrounding Lake Mývatn in North Iceland is a stunning display of natural wonders. From the ethereal formations of Dimmuborgir to the geothermal landscape of Hverir, this area reveals the wild beauty of Iceland’s wilderness. Lake Mývatn, with its still waters reflecting the surrounding terrain, is a serene hub for diverse ecosystems. Its name, meaning "Midge Lake," comes from the clouds of midges that thrive in the summer months. Nearby, Dimmuborgir’s labyrinth of lava formations, arches, and caves, often called "The Dark Castles," evokes a sense of myth and folklore, contrasting sharply with the calm of the lake. Hverir, just east of the lake, offers a surreal experience with boiling mud pots, hissing fumaroles, and sulfur-stained earth, creating a geothermal landscape that feels almost alien. Skútustaðagígar, or pseudo-craters, add another layer to the region’s geological diversity, with their lush surroundings offering panoramic views of the lake. Grjótagjá, a small lava cave hiding a warm geothermal spring, was once a popular bathing spot and gained fame as a location in *Game of Thrones*. After exploring these dramatic landscapes, the Mývatn Nature Baths provide a relaxing end to the day, where visitors can soak in mineral-rich waters while taking in the rugged beauty of the Icelandic wilderness. This region showcases the raw power and awe-inspiring landscapes that make Iceland truly unique.
