About this experience

Iceland's fully paved Ring Road stretches 1,332 km, linking vibrant cities, coastal towns, and remote wilderness into one seamless journey. This 6-day guided tour covers the entire circuit, revealing the country's most dramatic landscapes from a comfortable minibus with an English-speaking guide.

Along the route, you'll encounter cascading waterfalls, erupting geysers, volcanic terrains, and colossal glaciers. Descend into Viðgelmir Lava Cave, where ancient magma once flowed, and stand at the rim of Kerið Volcano Crater. The tour also visits the Golden Circle, South Coast, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Lake Mývatn, and the landscapes of East Iceland and North Iceland.

A stop at the Geothermal Park includes a tasting of traditional geothermal bread (Hverabrauð), baked underground by natural heat. Optional activities are available throughout the tour to personalise your adventure, with weather-dependent alternatives arranged where needed.

Five nights of accommodation in double or twin rooms with private bathrooms and daily breakfast are included, giving you a comfortable base each evening as you travel around the island. Reykjavík hotel pickup and drop-off are included for all passengers.
