Detailed Description

Iceland is a country that possesses majestic waterfalls, massive glaciers, mystical canyons that appear as if out of nowhere, and many other natural wonders that are waiting for you to explore. During your stay, you will be impressed by the country’s charm while discovering unique landscapes, such as lava caves that conceal remarkable hot springs. From the oldest beer company in Iceland to walking on black sand beaches, you will experience many of the highlights that Iceland has to offer during this luxurious, 10-day adventure.

The Westfjords are a wonder to behold, but many visitors tend to miss them on their vacation to Iceland. The westernmost point holds a cluster of vibrant birdlife, and nearby, lies the magical, bridal veil waterfall of Dynjandi. The following day, you will indulge in a whale-watching expedition in Akureyri before learning about the Skutustadir pseudocraters that resemble Mars. You will enter a crack in the ground to access the Grjotagja lava cave, which holds a geothermal secret. Here, you will be enchanted by the folklore that surrounds this mystical cave. Afterward, you will venture toward the Arctic Henge, where you will ride sturdy, Icelandic steeds across lava fields before flying high above the Asbyrgi Canyon.

The following day, you will be amazed at the volcanic rock as you hike to the top of Ljosatungur mountain near Borgarfjordur. Then, you will traipse across a glittering Beach that will make you feel like you are walking on diamonds. You will then make your way across the gigantic Langjokull glacier, and as you drive back toward Reykjavik, you will traverse the popular Seljalandsfoss to locate a hidden gem of Gljufrabui. You will also be provided with the opportunity to submerge yourself in the healing depths of the Blue Lagoon, which has the ability to refresh your soul. The exciting and elemental nature of Iceland will empower you with its fierce charm one last time as your private transfer escorts you to Keflavik Airport for your flight home.
