About the trip

This small-group tour with G Adventures offers a varied itinerary beginning with a CEO-led city stroll through Reykjavik. Afterwards, the route follows the classic Golden Circle, including a hike in Þingvellir National Park where the tectonic rift shapes the landscape, before a pit stop at geysers and the waterfall Gullfoss. The pace allows for soaking in the Sky Lagoon’s geothermal waters, a rarity just outside the capital.

Further afield, the southern coast presents a pair of waterfalls — Seljalandsfoss and Skógarfoss — with walking paths that bring you close enough to feel their spray. The highlight for some might be the day trip to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a compact yet diverse region with lava fields, rugged coastline, and the famed Snæfellsjökull glacier in the background. After dark, eyes are drawn skywards for a chance to witness the Northern Lights, that elusive natural light show which may require more patience than skill to see.

Throughout, transportation is by private van and small hotels set the tone for a straightforward, local experience. The weather is famously changeable, so layers and waterproofs are essential; the itinerary allows for adaptations as conditions dictate.
