About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.
For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.
About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.
Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.
Reykjavík is a remarkable getaway—its charming old town, legendary nightlife, bustling culture and music scene await you. Stay in a comfortable city centre hotel, allow yourself the luxury offered by the numerous spas and thermal pools, and explore Reykjavík and its stunning hinterland at your own leisure.
Day 1: Arrival - Reykjavík
Arrival in Keflavík where your rental car awaits you for a drive through the lava fields to your city centre hotel in Reykjavík. After settling into the hotel, we recommend exploring the charming old city centre by foot and visiting one of Reykjavík’s excellent restaurants for a gourmet dinner.
Day 2: Golden Circle
Take a leisurely drive to Þingvellir National Park, the waterfall Gullfoss and the Geysir geothermal area. You can even visit the extinct volcanic crater-turned-lake Kerið and the hot-spring village of Hveragerði before heading back to Reykjavík.
Day 3: Spa and Lobster
Enjoy relaxing at the 5-star health resort Laugar Spa with its excellent facilities. Visit the Hallgrímskirkja church, and take the elevator to its summit, which offers a fantastic view over the city. Explore some of Reykjavík’s museums such as the National Museum, the Einar Jónsson sculpture museum and inspiring sculpture garden, or the Viking wax museum in the Pearl. We recommend taking an early-evening drive to the south coast for a seafood dinner at one of the fine rural restaurants, before heading back for the vibrant weekend nightlife.
Day 4: Blue Lagoon and Reykjanes and Departure
What better way to end the weekend than soaking in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon? Drive to the Reykjanes Peninsula, where you can also find the geothermal area of Krýsuvík, and take a refreshing dip before heading on to Keflavík airport where you drop the car off and board your afternoon flight.
