Itinerary

Upon arrival in Iceland, pick up your car at the rental office at Keflavik International Airport. Your adventure starts here!

You will drive through the charred and blackened lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula and will be left with no doubt as to why it was used to train American astronauts before the moon landing. Iceland is not only foreign, it is otherworldly.

­

The first stop (if you choose to add it as an extra activity) will be the famous Blue Lagoon, where you can relax and let the warm and mineral-rich water warm you up and recharge you for your exciting trip to Iceland.

The Blue Lagoon features an in-water mask booth, sauna, steam room, and in-water bar.

 

Depending on your arrival time, you can also visit some of the sights in the Silver Circle area:

The Old Akranes Lighthouse – A historic coastal landmark, offers stunning panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding landscapes. Though no longer in use, it remains a popular spot for photography and Northern Lights viewing, making it a must-visit destination in Akranes, Iceland.

Deildartunguhver – Europe’s most powerful hot spring, located in West Iceland. It produces 180 liters of boiling water per second and supplies nearby towns with geothermal heating. Visitors can witness its steaming, bubbling waters up close.

Hraunfossar – A stunning series of waterfalls in West Iceland, where crystal-clear water flows from beneath a lava field into the Hvítá River. Its unique beauty and serene setting make it a must-visit.

It features a historic graveyard, original bell, and chalice and is recognized as a listed building under the protection of the National Museum of Iceland. Despite its solitude, it remains one of the most photographed and cherished landmarks in the region.

Arnarstapi, Hellnar, and the Coastal Arch – The charming fishing village of Arnarstapi boasts dramatic sea cliffs formed by ancient lava flows meeting the relentless Atlantic waves. Often considered one of Iceland’s most scenic harbors, the area features natural stone arches and an impressive marine blowhole created by centuries of erosion.

Dynjandi – From there, continue your journey with about an hour’s drive to the parking area for Dynjandi, the crown jewel of Westfjords waterfalls. The short hike to Dynjandi is very manageable—just around 600 meters—but don’t let the distance fool you.

Nauteyrarlaug – another lesser-known but inviting geothermal spring. Tucked away in a quiet setting, it’s a wonderful spot for a serene soak and a moment of quiet reflection.

In the evening, you’ll arrive in the welcoming village of Hólmavík, where you’ll spend the night. Known for its folklore and cultural history, it’s a charming place to rest and reflect on your adventures in the Westfjords.

After enjoying breakfast and completing check-out, your journey continues as you set out to explore the captivating Tröllaskagi, or Troll Peninsula.

Each season brings its own charm—vibrant Northern Lights in winter, berry-covered hills in autumn, and endless daylight during spring and summer.

The lake, Iceland’s fourth largest, is surrounded by caves, lava formations, and waterfalls. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area offers a fascinating blend of natural and ecological wonders.

Hverir – A short drive brings you to Hverir, a striking geothermal area that feels almost otherworldly. Here, bubbling mud pools and hissing fumaroles fill the air with steam and the scent of sulfur—a dramatic reminder of Iceland’s volcanic heart.

Goðafoss – Known as “The Waterfall of the Gods,” Goðafoss captivates visitors with its wide, crescent-shaped cascade. Its name comes from a pivotal moment in Icelandic history, when the chieftain Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði is said to have cast pagan idols into the falls, marking the country’s conversion to Christianity.

Stuðlagil Canyon – In the summer months, you can make a rewarding detour to Stuðlagil Canyon, a hidden gem carved through dramatic basalt columns. While the journey requires a bit of effort, the canyon’s vivid colors and striking formations make it an unforgettable highlight.

The cliffs here serve as the perfect nesting grounds for these colorful seabirds, and you’ll get the chance to watch them in their natural habitat, adding a touch of wonder to your journey.

Hallormsstaður Forest – Start your day by visiting Hallormsstaður Forest, Iceland’s largest forest. Here, you’ll find a network of walking trails that lead you through diverse landscapes, including waterfalls, caves, and moors. It’s an excellent spot for some light hiking, where you can enjoy the peace of nature while exploring the lush forest surroundings. As you travel along the shores of Lake Lagarfljót, keep your eyes peeled for the legendary creature said to inhabit the waters—a mysterious, worm-like being that has been the subject of local folklore for centuries. ­

Hengifoss Waterfall Next, head to the striking Hengifoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s tallest and most picturesque falls. As you hike the one-hour trail to reach the waterfall, you’ll pass several smaller falls, each offering a unique perspective of the surrounding scenery.

Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon – This remarkable 200-meter-deep glacial lagoon, fed by Breiðamerkurjökull—an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest ice cap—constantly receives enormous icebergs throughout the year. These icebergs drift southward, filling the lagoon with floating ice.

During the summer months, you have the opportunity to book an exhilarating boat ride through the lagoon, offering an up-close view of these ancient ice formations. If you prefer to stay on land, a peaceful walk alongside the lagoon will allow you to admire the breathtaking scenery and the serene silence of Icelandic nature.

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon – The canyon was shaped by glacial meltwater over thousands of years, creating dramatic cliffs and winding, turquoise streams. Its lush green surroundings, especially in the summer, make it a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers. The canyon’s unique, serpentine shape and picturesque landscape offer a truly unforgettable experience.

Photo Stop at Eldhraun Lava Field – Next, you can stop at the Eldhraun Lava Field, the largest lava field in the world. This vast, moss-covered expanse was formed by an eruption in 1783 that had far-reaching consequences, disrupting life all around the globe. The stark, otherworldly terrain is a great spot for photos and a reminder of the incredible power of Iceland’s volcanic landscape.

 

Optional Activity:

1) Glacier Hike at Skaftafell

Go on an expedition onto Falljökull glacier in Skaftafell, Iceland. Falljökull is part of Skaftafell, the highest mountain range in Iceland.

Rock pillars in the water and the cliffs of Dýrhólaey are seen in the distance. This area of the south is also a paradise for bird lovers, as Puffins and dozens of other unique species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime from June to August. ­

Skogafoss – Further west along the coast is Skógafoss waterfall. Skógafoss is an incredibly picturesque sight. Tucked in a little gorge, the river Skógá tumbles down a 60-meter cliff before continuing down the landscape towards the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the gorge, a staircase can take you to the shelf above the waterfall for stunning views. See if you can count your steps on your way up. ­

Seljalandsfoss – The adventure begins when your arrival is announced by the powerful theatrics of Seljalandsfoss. Bring a raincoat and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene behind the waterfall and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water make for an automatic Instagram blockbuster! ­

 

Optional Activities:

1) Glacier Hike in Sólheimajökull

Sólheimajökull is a part of Mýrdalsjökull, one of the biggest glaciers in Europe. It is featured in detail in the 2012 documentary “Chasing Ice,” an award-winning investigation of climate change. Once you reach the ice, you’ll be given plenty of time to marvel at the eerie silence and feeling of isolation, as if you and your fellow hikers are alone in a vast, empty world of ice and snow. You’ll view millennia-old blue ice, created when oxygen bubbles are trapped in the snow and compressed into ice by the enormous weight of the glacier pressing down upon it. You’ll be able to gaze deep into a glacier moulin, a vertical shaft like a well, which can go all the way to the bottom of the glacier. ­

Fortunately, nearby Strokkur erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 40 meters into the air, offering a spectacular display of nature’s power.

Brúarfoss Waterfall Next – a hidden gem known for its strikingly vivid blue waters.
