About this experience

Journey along Iceland's Ring Road — the legendary Route 1 that circles the entire island — on this 7-day small-group minibus tour departing from Reykjavík. Covering the South Coast, East Iceland, North Iceland, West Iceland, and the Snæfellsnes peninsula, this is one of the most comprehensive ways to experience Iceland's extraordinary diversity in a single trip.

Along the way, marvel at cascading waterfalls, erupting geysers, dramatic canyons, and lunar-like volcanic terrain. Descend underground into the Viðgelmir Lava Cave, stand at the rim of the Kerið Volcano Crater, and visit the Golden Circle highlights. The tour also includes a stop at the Sturlureykir Horse Farm and a geothermal bread tasting at the Geothermal Park.

Six nights of comfortable accommodation — double or twin rooms with private bathrooms and breakfast — are included, giving you a relaxing base each evening. Optional add-ons such as a glacial safari on an amphibious boat, whale watching, and geothermal spa visits are available to personalise your itinerary.

Hotel pickup and drop-off within Reykjavík is included, and your English-speaking guide will be with you every step of the way. Single travellers should note that a single room supplement applies.
