Especially once you're further out in the countryside, be sure to look up at the night sky in the evening for the Aurora Borealis or "Northern Lights". We suggest using this website to track real-time cloud cover in order to see where the Northern Lights will be most visible in your area. Feel free to hop in your car and chase them down!
This morning, embark on a scenic route exploring the iconic Golden Circle independently.
The Golden Circle needs little introduction - it is, without doubt, the most famous sightseeing route in Iceland. On the Golden Circle tour, you will be able to visit the beautiful national park of Þingvellir, where you can clearly see the American and the Euroasian tectonic plates split apart. The most famous attraction is without a doubt the geothermal area of Geysir. Last but not least, you will get to marvel at the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall.
At Þingvellir (pronounced "Thing-fell-ear"), one can witness Iceland's geological forces are in full effect. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which separates the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, runs directly through the park. Because of this, geologists have been able to determine that the island is slowly splitting apart at the rate of two centimeters per year due to the movement of these plates!
Additionally, Þingvellir was the site of Iceland's parliament, the longest surviving parliament in the world, from the year 930 until 1798 when it was migrated over to Reykjavik.
The next stop are the geysers of Geysir & Strokkur. This geothermal area of Haukadalur plays home to a few of the most well-known and accessible geysers in Iceland. While Geysir rarely erupts, Strokkur shoots scalding hot water up to 100 ft into the air every 5-10 minutes!
Finally, head over to Gullfoss. Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls", are powerful waterfalls sending upwards of 5,000 cubic feet of water into the canyon of the Hvítá River.
For a suggested lunch stop today, we recommend Friðheimar Farm.
Learn more about how Iceland produces fresh vegetables all year ‘round through geothermal horticulture by visiting the geothermal greenhouse at Friðheimar. The main produce of the Friðheimar farm is tomatoes, in many different forms.

Driving along Iceland’s southern coast is a surefire way to sample all of the country’s most iconic geographic wonders. Travelers can see volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, ice caves, black sand beaches, lava rock fields—the list goes on—in just a day’s worth of driving, but better not to rush it. Pull over often and have your hiking shoes ready, because you’ll want as much time as possible to absorb the natural splendor all around you.
With vast black lava beaches as far as the eye can see, majestic waterfalls, rugged rock formations and enchanting glacier tongues, it is a magical area. You can expect to see the iconic black sand beach. As you walk along the jet black sand, you will be able to spot the rocky sea stacks which, according to legend, are trolls turned to solid stone at sunrise as they tried to drag ships from the ocean to the shore. You will also get to visit the charming coastal village, whose picturesque church enjoys glorious ocean views. Nearby is a 120m high natural rock arch, which serves as a bird sanctuary in summertime. You will also get to see some of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls, including and , where you'll find a winding staircase leading to the top of the falls, offering a birds’ eye view of this natural marvel.
Seljalandfoss is unlike any other waterfall you'll visit here in Iceland. Just behind the falls is a footpath that provides for some spectacular photo opportunities. The view looking out to the coastline as the falls crash before you is nothing short of remarkable.
Along the way, be sure to make a stop at Skógafoss. Feel the full force of this waterfall as you walk through the shrouded mist directly to the water's flow. This is not a dry experience! If you'd rather avoid getting wet, there is a short hiking path up to the rocky cliffside that offers another perspective of the spectacular falls.
It's not everyday that you can climb up and trek along a glacier! Today, you'll embark on a guided walk on South Iceland's Sólheimajökull glacier.
Your certified and experienced glacier guide will lead you through this frozen wonderland, where the spectacular colors of the ice vary from white to blue to crystal clear. As you hike, you will be able to safely observe the deep crevasses, water cauldrons and other fascinating features of this glacier tongue, and you'll have plenty of stunning photo opportunities. Furthermore, your expert guide will share with you their wisdom about the ever-changing landscapes of the Icelandic glaciers, their formation and how these icy giants have shaped the surrounding volcanoes and mountains.
This is a private experience.
