Your Tour Itinerary Includes

Day 1 - DEPART USA

Overnight flight.

Day 2 - REYKJAVIK

Welcome to Iceland! With its lack of traffic, trains, pollution and people, Iceland is a strangely wonderful wilderness with icecaps, glaciers, hot pools, geysers and lava fields. On arrival at Reykjavik's Keflavik Airport, there will be complimentary transfers to your tour hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure.
Hotel: Radisson Blu Saga

Day 3 - REYKJAVIK - SKALHOLT - GEYSIR - VIK

Take an orientation tour of Reykjavik before heading south to Hveragerdi, the market gardening centre of the island. Continue inland to visit the former archbishop's residence at Skalholt, followed by Geysir, the spectacular area of hot springs where hot sulphurous water shoots into the air. See the Gullfoss, the Icelandic equivalent of Niagara, before continuing to your hotel in Vik to enjoy a Welcome Drink with your fellow passengers before dinner.
Hotel: Dyrholaey (BB,D)

Day 4 - VIK - SKAFTAFELL NATIONAL PARK- HÖFN

Continue along the southern coast of Iceland, driving beside the black basalt-sand beaches. The highlight of the day is the National Park at Skaftafell where you will see the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull. Travel on to Lake Jökulsarlon, which provided the dramatic setting for scenes in the James Bond film, 'Die Another Day'.
Hotel: Hofn (BB,D)

Day 5 - HOFN - EGILSSTADIR

Explore the beautiful eastern coastal region, where Irish missionary monks lived 1100 years ago. Drive through the mountain range of Almannaskard, then follow the magnificent fjords to the beautiful area of Egilsstadir and continue to you hotel.
Hotel: Herad (BB,D)

Day 6 - EGILSSTADIR - LAKE MYVATN - AKUREYRI

Drive through the sand desert of Mödrudal to the Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. We continue on to the beautiful lake Myvatn, an internationally renowned bird-watching site. This area offers a wide spectrum of geological formations and the intense geothermal activity produces mud pools and spectacular coloured deposits. Afterwards, view the Godafoss, known as 'The Waterfall of the Gods', before continuing to your hotel in Akureyri.
Hotel: Key Akureyri (BB,D)

Day 7 - AKUREYRI - BORGARNES

Take an orientation tour of Akureyri, the capital of northern Iceland, which was first established as a trading centre in 1602. Travel past mountains, waterfalls and into green coastal regions where distinctive Icelandic horses are bred. Return to the south-west coast in the afternoon to stay in Borgarnes.
Hotel: Borgarnes (BB,D)

Day 8 - BORGARNES - REYKJAVIK

Travel southwards to Thingvellir, where the first meeting of the Icelandic parliament was held in 903. This is a remarkable natural site because it lies on the Great Atlantic Rift where the American and European tectonic plates meet. Back in Reykjavik, maybe take the option of visiting the Blue Lagoon to bathe in its hot mineral waters - a relaxing end to a remarkable trip?
Hotel: Radisson Blu Saga (BB)

Day 9 - RETURN TO USA

Your tour ends after breakfast when there are complimentary transfers to Keflavik airport. (BB)
