ITINERARY

DAY 1

ARRIVAL IN ICELAND (--/--/D)

Upon arrival at Reykjavik, meet your Tour Escort then proceed to hotel for check in.

DAY 2

SNAEFELLSNES PENINSULA AND LAVA CAVE (B/--/D)

Have your breakfast inside the hotel. This morning we are introduced to the Icelandic sagas in the settlement center in Borgarnes. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula "the peninsula of the snowy mountain" juts out from Iceland's west coast, like a long arm with a clenched fist at its tip, and in many ways a microcosm of the whole island. We travel around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, through lava fields and along the ocean with many classic Icelandic photo opportunities. We visit the most popular sites at the national park where volcanic craters, lava flows, an ice cap, glaciated peaks, fjords, sandy beaches, and high cliffs shape its landscapes. This lava cave tour takes you 35 meters underground and about 200 meters into the lava cube called Vatnshellir. During the tour you reach two different sections of the cave by a long and narrow staircase. The upper section has great features and unique formations of lava statues curved on the sides of the lava tube. In the lower part of the lava cave you experience total quietness and even total darkness when your guide switches off the light. The total duration of the lava cave tour is approximately one hour. Overnight in the Grundarfjorour / Stykkisholmur area. Possible to view the Northern Lights during the evening as these are most often visible from the hotel directly.

DAY 3

GOLDEN CIRCLE (B/--/D)

Have your breakfast inside the hotel. We see classic highlights today. We explore Gullfoss, the beautiful double "Golden Falls" and we walk through the active geothermal area of Geysir, where Strokkur "the churn" spouts up to 25 meters (70 feet) every five to seven minutes. A visit to the ancient Viking Parliament area and UNESCO world heritage site of Tingvellir National Park National Park tops the day off before travelling along the scenic shores of Hvalfjordur fjord. Overnight in South Iceland, Selfoss or proximity.

DAY 4

GAME OF THRONES (B/--/D)

Have your breakfast inside the hotel. If you are a fan of the mythical Game of Thrones series, a drama as deep and dark as some of Iceland’s glacial lakes, you’ll love this tour that traces the footsteps of your favorite characters through the mysterious landscape of Iceland. The Game of Thrones tour takes you to some of the filming locations in Iceland where you’ll get to experience Icelandic nature just like the cast members: take in the majestic, sweeping views, feel the spray of the dancing waterfalls, capture the panoramas in the distance, and experience the stillness and solitude. Visit the stomping ground of the White Walkers and the trail of the Wildlings from North of the Wall at Tingvellir National Park and get to know the symbolic significance of the setting in context to the plot. Walk around the Settlement Era Viking Lodge in Pjorsardalur valley where elaborate scenes were shot and one of the most hair raising massacres of the series took place. Overnight in South Iceland, Selfoss or proximity.

DAY 5

SOUTH COAST AND WATERFALLS (B/--/D)
