    Day 1: Reykjavík, Iceland
    Begin Your Adventure

    After a day of independent exploration in Reykjavík, you’ll embark for an evening departure.

    Iceland’s cosmopolitan capital, Reykjavík was established in the year 874 CE. Powered by geothermal energy, Reykjavík is widely considered one of the cleanest, greenest cities on Earth.

    Day 2: Snæfellsnes Peninsula
    Meander Dramatic Landscapes

    Discover 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 Coastlines

    Be 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 4–5: East Greenland
    Witness Fjords, Icebergs, and Whales

    Explore the remote reaches of east Greenland by ship, in Zodiacs, and on land.

    Your first views of this seldom-visited region will reveal a stunning coastline traced with innumerable fjords and potentially dotted with pack ice.

    Whether on foot, on shore, or on the ship, our expert expedition team will be by your side, sharing their extensive knowledge and insights. Join them out on deck to keep a keen eye out for iconic Arctic wildlife, including the polar bears, seals, and humpback whales. Learn from their expertise as they provide fascinating interpretation and help you gain a profound connection to the stunning landscapes we traverse.

    Day 6: North Iceland
    Experience Iceland’s Geological Masterpieces

    Iceland’s north offers a landscape sculpted by volcanic forces, where nature’s raw power is on full display. Traverse fields of jagged lava, sculpted by millennia of eruptions, and witness the contrast of snowcapped peaks and fertile valleys. Cascading waterfalls, some with thunderous might and others with delicate beauty, punctuate the region’s dramatic scenery.

    This region sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates slowly drift apart. Keep an eye out for steam rising from geothermal vents—a reminder that Iceland’s fiery heart still pulses beneath the surface.

    Whether hiking through otherworldly terrain or scanning the seas for marine life, North Iceland’s landscapes invite you to witness the Earth’s continuous evolution.

    Day 7: Húsavík
    Go Whale Watching

    Tour Húsavík’s Skjálfandi Bay, known as the whale capital of Iceland.

    Be sure to bring your binoculars to spot the fifteen different whale species that frequent the area, as well as dolphins and dozens of varieties of birds.

    Take advantage of Húsavík’s diverse museum offerings, including the Whale Museum, the Húsavík Museum, and the Exploration Museum, which houses artefacts from Apollo astronaut training in the area.

    Day 8: Seyðisfjörður
    Wander a Picturesque Community and Visit the Skálanes Nature Reserve

    Enjoy the chance to explore Seyðisfjörður, nestled at the tip of its namesake fjord.

    Stroll the picturesque town of 700, known for its flourishing art scene, cobbled rainbow road, and excellent handicrafts, or take one of the numerous opportunities for hiking, including a walk up to Tvísöngur sound sculpture on a nearby hill.

    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. Explore their premises with a guided tour, learn about their focus on developing Icelandic grains and vegetables, and savour local products during a tasting.

    Day 9: South Iceland
    Discover a Realm of Fire and Ice

    South Iceland is a region of stunning contrasts and extremes. Here, glaciers spill down from volcanic peaks, their icy tongues carving the land below. Jet-black sand beaches stretch along the coast, shaped by the interaction of fire and water. The region’s windswept plains are dotted with moss-covered lava fields, remnants of ancient eruptions now blanketed in vibrant green.

    This dynamic area is a testament to Iceland’s ever-changing geology. Glacial rivers braid across the landscape, and cliffs rise steeply from the plains, offering nesting sites for thousands of seabirds. The interplay of volcanic heat and glacial ice gives rise to incredible natural wonders, making every turn in the landscape a moment of discovery.

    Day 10: Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands)
    Marvel at Volcanic Landscapes

    Learn 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.

    Enjoy a beautiful Zodiac cruise searching for the numerous species of seabirds, including the famous puffin, that nest in the steep rock faces along the ocean cliffs here.

    Wave a Fond Farewell

    Complete your journey back in Reykjavík, disembarking in the morning.

    Take one last chance to explore this special city where food, culture, and nightlife abound.

    If you have the time, be sure to visit the National Culture House, which preserves treasures like the Poetic Edda and the Norse Sagas in their original manuscripts.
