Below you will find the detailed itinerary of our tour:

Duration of trip: 7 days-6 nights

Day 1 (06/04/2025): We will depart from Athens in the evening and arrive in Iceland at night. Overnight at Hotel 201, Reykjavik.

Day 2 (07/04/2025): Let’s go to the famous Golden Circle! This is a circular route that includes frequent stops to admire some of Iceland’s most famous sights. Among other things today we will see many waterfalls, visit Thingvelir National Park, which is located where the North American tectonic plate meets the Eurasian tectonic plate, the age 6 Kerrid crater. 500 years old with its unique round lake, the most important geyser of all, the geyser, which reaches a height of 30 m and is said to have been active for 10,000 years, and the wondrous “golden waterfalls” Gulfos!

We continue with an impressive waterfall where we can walk behind it. Seljalandsfoss! We are not finished. We are going to get wet in the hidden waterfall located in the area. You’ll understand why we call it that soon when we walk there together. Its beauty is unique and the feeling of discovering something hidden is incredible. Overnight – Riverfront Lodge Hella, Hella.

Day 3 (08/04/2025): The journey continues and today the road will take us to Reynisfjara, or black beach, which is formed by lava, with impressive rocky columns that elevate the landscape to unreal and otherworldly, the Sólheimajökull glacial lagoon with detached ice floating calmly on its surface, the characteristic Skogafoss and Svartifoss waterfall, a unique, peat-covered church and a gorge now known by the nickname Justin Bieber Gorge… (yes, you read that right). You didn’t like the nickname? Try pronouncing the real name then; Fjaðrárgljúfur. Overnight – Arnanes Country Hotel, Hofn.

Day 4 (09/04/2024): As the fourth day of our Iceland road trip dawns, the exciting southeast coast of the island awaits us. Iceland continues to unfold before our eyes, like a living canvas full of natural beauty and mystery.

The Jökulsárlón glacial lake, with its icebergs floating in its crystal clear waters, is a breathtaking sight. And just next door, Diamond Beach awaits us with its unique, chunks of ice where they shimmer like diamonds on the black volcanic sand, creating one of the most magical and photographic landscapes in Iceland.

Today, however, we also have a special surprise. We will visit some of the most isolated glaciers in the region, where the absolute silence and the vast expanse of ice offer an experience that cannot be described in words. Here, away from the world, we will enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature at its peak. Overnight at Arnanes Country Hotel, Hofn.

Day 5 (10/04/2024): Today, the magic of Iceland leads us to a world of spectacular Lava fields and waterfalls that remain unexplored and serene. Lava fields reveal the powerful force of the earth, while waterfalls remind us of the eternal beauty of water.

In the evening there is cooking in riverside wooden huts and gathering at the lodge for conversation, dancing, and singing. Overnight Hotel 201, Reykjavik.

Day 6 (11/04/2024): We set off for Reykjavik with an optional whale-watching activity. The alternative is a walk around the city.

At noon we depart for a volcano! A short hike (more like a walk) is enough to admire the magnificence of nature up close. Of course, after such a hike, we deserve a dip in the blue lagoon to relax and soak in the extravaganza we just enjoyed.
The day ends with a team gathering in a shop to take stock of the trip! Overnight at Konvin Hotel by Keflavik Airport, Keflavik.

Day 7 (12/04/2024): Our tour of Reykjavik today includes visits to top attractions such as Hallgrimur Church, an architectural gem of the city, the colorful Rainbow Street that provides a vibrant canvas for photos, and the main pedestrian street, perfect for strolls and shopping.

We continue our tour to the City Hall, a city landmark, and the impressive Opera House, a symbol of Reykjavík’s cultural life. Between visits, we discover some hidden corners of the city, where Icelandic culture and history come alive before our eyes. The time of return to Athens has arrived. But this return finds us changed, after an epic road trip, with a thousand images, with a trip that feels more like a trip to another planet! Return flight.

⚡ Regarding the Northern Lights, we are on daily standby and looking at our related apps. If it’s normal weather, we shiver and wait! In all the areas we will be visiting, we have spots without much light so we can see them better!
