NOTE: This is an expedition, and the program is only a guideline, this in the best interest of all participants. The program might be adjusted without any notice according to weather and road conditions for everyone’s security and enjoyment.

Travelling off the beaten track, the guide’s expertise on the weather and road conditions is fundamental and can affect the itinerary. Expect long, adventurous but laid-back days.

Itinerary

Afternoon arrival in Iceland, transfer to the unique Blue Lagoon for a pleasant swim in the warm waters. Those who arrive on earlier flights but depart in the late afternoon, can combine the departure transfer with a Blue Lagoon visit. The entrance to the Blue Lagoon is not included.

Onwards to Reykjavík City for an overnight stay.

Meet your Driver-Guide who will brief you on the day's excursion. Today you are an explorer as well as a traveller! You will either drive to the Reykjanes peninsula, boasting moonlike landscapes, dented coastline, lava fields, volcanoes and craters or to the south coast of Iceland and its black sand beaches, glaciers, waterfalls and mossy lava fields. The day ends at the charming country-hotel Hekla. There you can relax in one of the hot tubs beside the hotel, while admiring the Northern Lights dancing in the winter sky.

Briefing before starting today's expedition. Visit Gullfoss waterfall, one of the most impressive in Iceland and the highly active Geysir geothermal area. Then head towards Lake Þingvallavatn (=Thingvallavatn) and Þingvellir National Park (Thingvellir). If time allows, we will enjoy some mountain adventure, crossing rivers and snow fields. Return to Reykjavik for an overnight stay.

Transfer to airport on you own for your return trip home.
