Burfell Volcano

We’ll wake up, enjoy breakfast and then head straight to our first run of the week, which will give you a taste of what Iceland offers. Our run today takes you through a massive lava flow from the Burfell Volcano, culminating with a run around the rim of this (now dormant!) volcano.

After our run and lunch, get ready for an exciting adventure. The group will have the opportunity to watch puffins in their natural habitat. Sharpen your eyes and ears as these miniature versions of penguins with colorful beaks, make a sound that  doesn’t resemble any other animal.

Afterward, we’ll have the rest of the afternoon to explore Reykjavik—visit the iconic Hallgrimskirkja cathedral, stroll through the vibrant shops on Laugavegur, and soak in the lively atmosphere of this charming European capital.

Golden Circle

You've seen hot springs before, but have you ever soaked in an entire hot river?

Our second full day in Iceland explodes with excitement — literally! After breakfast, we start our run which is a shorter trot up to the hot river in the Reykjadalur Valley.

After our soak, we’ll head back to the bus to continue our tour of the Golden Circle which includes Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir (the original geyser), and Þingvellir National Park, where you'll hike to the meeting place of the North American and Eurasian continents!

Þórsmörk Volcano Huts

Today's course is more of a hike as we head out to see what may be the most spectacular view of the week!

Take your time and use your senses to memorize the feeling of the mountains, glaciers, and braided rivers unfolding before you.

After our hike, we'll spend the afternoon enjoying the lodge to ourselves — relaxing in the sauna, playing Icelandic lawn games, or even sneaking a nap.

Skogafoss & Reynisfjara Beach

After a breakfast in the lodge, we’ll do one last run in Þórsmörk where you will be able to see more views of this incredible valley. We’ll then board the 4x4 buses and head back through the rivers, across the dirt roads, and take you back to the south coast, where we’ll continue on to the beautiful little coastal town of Vik. On our way into town we’ll stop and visit the thundering Skogafoss Waterfall, where you can get as close and as wet as you like!

We will then take you to see one of the most unique beaches you have ever seen- Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Here the sand is made up of ground up lava and the cliffs are perfect octagonal columns of basalt. There are black sea stacks out in the ocean and a perfect cave where you can look out at the water.

Vik Sea Cliff

We’re getting closer to the end of the week and we’ve saved the best sea views for last. Today, we’ll run from the town of Vik, to the towering sea cliffs above the ocean, where we will finish our run and spend some time enjoying the views. You may want to spend all day there, but eventually we’ll need to get back down because we have more adventuring to do!

After lunch, we'll take you to the Sólheimajökull Glacier where we have guides ready to strap on some crampons, give you an ice axe, and take you hiking on this amazing glacier. Our guides are super knowledgeable and safety-conscious and will teach you all about glaciers as you explore.

Tonight you're free to explore and grab dinner on your own.

Sky Lagoon Geothermal Spa

Our last day and final run of the trip! We'll have lunch boxes on the go as we drive to our final run along Hvaleyrarvatn Lake.

After finishing our last run, we’ll take you to an oceanside geothermal spa where you’ll have a few hours to relax and enjoy the Sky Lagoon in all its glory. Give yourself a complimentary silica facial. Whatever you do, just soak in this last incredible experience at the end of your week in Iceland.

When we're fully relaxed, we'll head back to our hotel and celebrate with a farewell dinner and presentation!

Depart From Reykjavik

All good things must come to an end. You’re free to move on to your next adventure anytime on Saturday, whether that’s a flight back home or carrying on into Europe for more travel.
