8 days from Reykjavik to Reykjavik
Icelandic folklore maintains there are clans of elves and trolls living in the country’s extraordinary hills, rocky outcrops, and lava fields. Will you meet these “Huldufólk”, or “Hidden People” said to dislike churches, daylight, and electricity? Hard to say. But here’s what you will see on this breathtaking tour of Iceland—active volcanoes, roaring waterfalls, jagged glaciers, floating icebergs, black-sand beaches, and brilliant-blue geothermal springs. Unique, local experiences await in the “Land of Fire and Ice,” including tasting piping hot bread baked by the heat from the hot springs, sipping Geysir schnapps served at freezing point, and standing in awe before the spectacular Lake Jökulsárlón, home to Europe’s largest glacier and the site of some of the most dramatic scenes from the James Bond movie Die Another Day. The gargantuan sights in the land of the elves will surely leave you stirred, not shaken.

(B,D)
196 mi / 315 km

LOCAL FAVORITE
NATURAL WONDERS Iceland is the only place in the world where separation between the North American and European geological rift (tectonic plates) are above sea level, and nowhere in the world are the edges of both plates as clearly visible than the Rift Valley in Thingvellir National Park.

This morning, join an orientation walk in Akureyri, including the botanical gardens.

224 mi / 360 km

TOUR HIGHLIGHT

EGILSSTADIR–HÖFN AREA
Warm Friends on an Icelandic Fjord

162 mi / 260 km

TOUR HIGHLIGHT

174 mi / 280 km

LOCAL FAVORITE
PICTURE PERFECT Drive through the national park at Skaftafell and stop at the stunning Lake Jökulsárlón, Iceland’s largest lake. Here, Icebergs break away from the vast Vatnajökull Glacier (the Water Glacier) and drift gracefully toward the Atlantic. Snap photos to capture the astonishing majesty of Iceland's largest ice cap.


VIK AREA–SELJALANDSFOSS–REYKJAVIK
Earthly Powers
This morning, enjoy a scenic drive that offers stunning views of the mighty Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Later, stop to take photos of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall before continuing to Reykjavik. This evening, join your travel companions for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)
118 mi / 190 km

TOUR HIGHLIGHT
NATURAL WONDERS Eyjafjallajökull is one of Iceland’s few stratovolcanoes (with an ice cap covering the caldera). When the volcano erupted in 2010, the glacier topping also broke, and the plume of ash rose over five miles into the sky – interrupting European air travel for almost a month!
