Itinerary
Day 1: Reykjavik
There is a lot to do in and around Reykjavik - should you wish to take advantage of the many optional activities, such as the Blue Lagoon thermal pools, we recommend booking a pre or post night.
Hotel accommodation in Iceland is very limited and rooms/facilities can be fairly simple with few amenities. Hotels are chosen for their location and access to the wonderous landscapes and natural wonders of Iceland. Hotels are often remote, all the better to enjoy the beautiful natural setting.
Day 2: Reykjavik/Skaftafell
Day 3: Skaftafell
Day 4: Skaftafell/Vik
Depending on the season and nesting habits of birdlife, we may also visit Dyrhólaey Cape. As well, it is possible to see puffins at Reynisfjara beach, Dyrhólaey Cape or near Vík in the summer months (15 May - 15 August).
Day 5: Vik/Golden Circle/Selfoss
Day 6: Selfoss to Snæfellsnes Region
Thingvellir National Park is the meeting place of the two tectonic plates on which America and Europe rest. This rift is clearly visible in the huge fissures that scar the landscape surrounding the lake and lava fields.
Day 7: Snæfellsnes Region
Day 8: Snæfellsnes/Reykjavik
Day 9: Reykjavik

My wife and I were with a nice group of people for the trip. It wasn’t just a sightseeing but learning the history and architecture/arts of France, including the D- day event. We were blessed with a wonderful guide (CEO) - Phillip was very friendly and knowledgeable in history and arts, etc. so it was a pleasure to be with him,
