Today we witness iconic highlights, such as the Golden Circle Route. We begin with a visit to a geothermal greenhouse where we observe Icelanders growing tomatoes. We can take a photo with an Icelandic horse next door and learn about its unique characteristics and history. We visit Gullfoss, the stunning twin "Golden Falls," and stroll through Geysir's active geothermal region, where Strokkur "the Churn" spouts up to 25 metres (70 feet) every five to ten minutes. The old Viking Parliament region and UNESCO world heritage site of Tingvellir National Park is the next destination. The ingvellir plain is located on a tectonic plate border where North America and Europe are steadily separating. As a result, the plain is strewn with spectacular fissures, ponds, and rivers, notably the massive Almannagjá rift. We continue our drive to Borgarnes, a little village on the shores of Borgarfjörur, where we will spend the night.
Today, we're going to tour the Snfellsnes Peninsula, which juts out from Iceland's West Coast. It is characterised by a rocky mountain chain that is crowned by the 1,446-meter Snfellsjökull glacier, a magical cone-shaped stratovolcano. We go across the Snfellsnes Peninsula, past lava fields, and along the coastline, with plenty of options for Icelandic photography. We visit the most popular sights in Snfellsnes National Park, which has volcanic craters, lava flows, an ice cap, glaciated summits, fjords, sandy beaches, and steep cliffs. We follow the journey of Jules Verne's classic science-fiction novel "The Journey to the Center of the Earth." Do not pass up the opportunity to travel to the earth's interior beneath the glacier Snfellsjökull! This lava cave trip takes you 35 metres deep and roughly 200 metres into the Vatnshellir lava tube. In the afternoon, we take the auto ferry Baldur from Stykkishólmur to Brjánslkur in the West Fjords. On the 2.5-hour ride across Breiafjörur Bay, we pass the island of Flatey, which is only inhabited during the summer. If the weather is clear, you may see the bay's numerous isles as well as the glacier Snfellsjökull.
We continue along the coast, stopping at the Folk and Transport Museum at Hnjótur. We proceed through a desolate and thinly populated region to the Látrabjarg bird cliffs, Iceland's most populous seabird cliff and the westernmost tip of Iceland and Europe, where you may view puffins from mid-May to mid-August. We hike through the bush to the top of Iceland's tallest bird cliff. The quantity of Nordic birds in Látrabjarg is well recognised around the world. Puffins, razorbills, guillemots, fulmars, cormorants, kittiwakes, and other cliff birds congregate in flocks of hundreds, thousands, or even millions.

Today’s journey is a little bit of the beaten track, around the Vatnsnes peninsula. We pass the fishing village of Hvammstangi, also called the seal capital of Iceland. A gravel road takes us around the peninsula to Hvítserkur, a highlight on the east coast of the region; a mass of igneous rock, about 15 meters high, situated on the seashore. Fulmars and gulls live on Hvítserkur. An old story has it that Hvítserkur is a petrified troll that intended to stone a nearby cloister, but dawn arrived before he could succeed. Later take a short walk up to Borgarvirki, on a 180-meter ridge. The ruins of Borgarvirki are a circular, fort-like stone enclosure rising above 10–15-meter basalt columns. Inside are the remains of a well and some dwellings. Today's adventure takes us off the usual path, around the Vatnsnes peninsula.

We continue on to the Kolugljfur canyon, where waterfalls flow into the deep, craggy valley. Walking on the observation platform and seeing the tranquil waters of the river suddenly spring and crash headlong over so many spectacular falls is a breathtaking sight that will leave no one untouched. We continue north, stopping in Vimri to see one of Iceland's few preserved turf churches. The church was erected in 1834 and features turf walls with timber gables on both sides. Glaumbr, one of Iceland's most magnificent turf house farms and folk museums, is our destination. We continue on a steep mountain road to Akureyri, commonly known as the capital of North Iceland, where we will spend the next two nights.
Enjoy breakfast in the beautiful surrounding of the botanical garden in Akureyri. Afterwards enjoy a full-day tour, seeing spectacular fjord landscapes while travelling to Siglufjörður, Iceland’s northernmost town, known as the herring capital of the North Atlantic. Siglufjörður is located on the mountainous Tröllaskagi Peninsula. On the way, we pass small fishing villages and stop at a deserted valley that even most Icelanders have not seen. Included is a visit to the Herring Era Museum in Siglufjörður. It is Iceland’s largest maritime museum and the only Icelandic museum who has won the European Museum Award. We won’t miss the opportunity to taste the herring along with Brennivín, Icelandic schnapps. Early afternoon we go whale watching for 2-3 hours in Eyjafjörður – Iceland’s longest fjord right below the Arctic Circle
We visit Goafoss, the Gods' waterfall, and then proceed to Lake Mvatn, which is famed for its great bird life and spectacular volcanic lava landscapes. We visit false craters, the strange lava field Dimmuborgir, the tephra cone Hverfjall, Námaskar's hot springs, fumaroles, and boiling mud pools, and the explosion crater lake Vti in the Krafla geothermal regions. In the northern area of Vatnajökull National Park, we see Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall. The round-trip walk takes between 40 and 60 minutes. We proceed east across the stark and often abandoned environment with mountains all around, heading to East Iceland via the uninhabited highlands. We visit the East Fjord mountain range's northernmost fjord. . The remote community Bakkageri in Borgarfjörur-Eystri has just 120 residents and is located at the end of the road. This lovely community is nestled against a rocky slope, and getting there requires a difficult yet rewarding trip. The colourful mountains are one-of-a-kind and spectacular.
It's a day for admiring the East Fjords' magnificent fjord landscape and its little fishing villages at the end of twisting roads. Our first visit will be to Vök baths, which are geothermal floating pools in Lake Urriavatn where guests may relax in hot water while being within and surrounded by the lake. Later, we go to Petra to see her wonderful rock collection. Petra has been described as a naturalist and a collector since she was a child. Petra gathered this one-of-a-kind collection of rocks, crystals, zeolites, quartz, and other minerals from the neighbouring Eastfjords for over 80 years. In the afternoon, we see Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier, which can be seen from all throughout Southeast Iceland.
Today we visit Vatnajökull National Park, which covers approximately 14% of Iceland and is Europe's second largest national park in terms of area. We stop for a boat ride among the floating icebergs on the magnificent Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, which is regarded as one of the highlights of any tour of Iceland. Following that, we walk along the black sands of Diamond Beach. We explore the Skaftafell region, which is nestled beneath Iceland's highest mountain and Europe's second largest stratovolcano, the 2.110-meter-high Hvannadalshnkur. We walk up close to one of the area's many glacial tongues – a true photo opportunity. We travel through a sandy desert before arriving in Vk, Iceland's southernmost village.
Today we journey along Iceland's South Coast, amid the sea, steep mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls. We see the black lava beach, Reynisfjara, and the bird cliffs before arriving to Skógafoss, another must-see attraction in South Iceland. The rushing water generates a mist, which results in frequent and magnificent rainbows, adding to the overwhelming majesty of this stunning environment and location. After that, we arrive at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you may go straight behind it by following a slippery and wet track. Bring a jacket and suitable boots as you will get wet. Then we go to the Lava & Volcano Exhibition Centre, which focuses on geology and active volcanoes, and see a documentary video about volcanic eruptions in Iceland in recent years. Farewell supper in a small restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital. Today we journey along Iceland's South Coast, amid the sea, steep mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls.

Credit cards are widely accepted in Iceland. Visa and MasterCard are the best options because they are accepted by all Icelandic establishments. While most businesses do not require you to use a PIN-protected card, there may be a few exceptions, such as at some gas stations. Using a debit card to pay for a full tank of gas at the pump may automatically place a significant amount of money (approximately $200) on hold in your bank account, which is released after a few days, as it is in many other regions around the United States. Some gas stations may also need you to go inside and purchase a pre-paid gas card, however this is normally possible with a credit card.
While service costs are normally included in your bill in Iceland, you may still tip your waiter or guide—10% is usually plenty. The reality is that Icelanders are well-paid, and tipping has never been a significant part of their society.
