Day 2: Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Meander Dramatic LandscapesDiscover one of Iceland’s most amazing coastlines, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a region known for its dramatic beauty and fascinating geological history.
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is often referred to as "Iceland in Miniature" due to its diverse range of natural wonders. From black sand beaches to a volcano, a glacier, lava fields, mountains, waterfalls, caves, and craters, the peninsula encapsulates many of Iceland's unique landscapes in one area.
Delight in the many opportunities to observe seabirds and marine life as you explore this spectacular destination.

Day 3: The Westfjords
Explore Remote CoastlinesBe among the lucky few to explore the Westfjords, a region known for its jagged bird cliffs and multi-hued beaches—only about ten per cent of the rest of Iceland’s visitors ever make it here!
Soak up the breathtaking beauty of the coastal fjords and marvel at the immense mountains that loom overhead. Here, nature's splendour awaits at every turn.

Day 4: Siglufjörður and Grímsey
Cross the Arctic Circle and Learn about Icelandic HistoryTravel to far-flung Grímsey, which lies upon the Arctic Circle (66° 33’ North) and earns Iceland its title as one of the world’s eight Arctic nations—just barely!
Take a Zodiac cruise around the island, brimming with a million seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and gulls, that far outnumber its small human population.
Visit resurgent Siglufjörður that, in its heyday, bustled with activity as the centre of the herring fishing industry.
Enjoy a wonderful re-enactment at the Herring Era Museum and make some time to pop into the bakery, chocolate factory, brewery, and Icelandic folk music centre, too.

Explore the city’s shops, cafés, and restaurants and enjoy the variety of ten museums for you to choose from.
Stroll through Akuyeri’s botanical gardens which are among the northernmost in the world and miraculously grow several thousand plant species.
Enhance your journey with an optional excursion to Forest Lagoon. This captivating oasis is nestled in the Valaskógur forest and offers inviting pools, rejuvenating saunas, and a cozy bistro area, overlooking Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland's longest fjords.

Visit nearby Skálanes Nature Reserve, which is family-owned and operated. Learn about the centre’s research and interpretation of Iceland’s environment and cultural history that’s a model for sustainable tourism.
Opt to enhance your journey with an optional excursion to Vallanes Organic Farm, where Eymundur Magnússon and Eygló Björk Ólafsdóttir have been organic farming since 1985.

Marvel at Volcanic LandscapesLearn about the compelling history of this volcanically active area that has experienced two major eruptions in recent times.
1963 saw the formation of the island of Surtsey and the Eldfell eruption ten years later destroyed much of Heimaey, the largest of the Vestmannaeyjars and the only island here that is inhabited.
