Itinerary

To reach our destination, you’ll board our brand-new fleet of buses from Reykjavik, each equipped with tablet screens at every seat. These tablets feature our GPS-sensitive in-bus audio guide, available in 10 languages. This means you can learn fascinating facts about Iceland and the places you’ll visit on the tour, in a language you feel comfortable with.

Onboard, you’ll also find a USB charger and free Wi-Fi for your convenience. If you have any questions during the tour or about our beautiful country, feel free to ask the host, who will be happy to assist you.

Þingvellir

The tour begins with a visit to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of the world’s longest-running parliament. It is here that the vast tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia have dramatically drifted apart, creating a visible rift valley along the shores of Iceland’s largest lake.

Geysir

The next stop is Geysir Hot Springs, home to the original geyser and one of the most photographed tourist attractions in the world. Here, the ground trembles as superheated water and steam erupt skyward from the spouting Strokkur Geyser every few minutes.

Gullfoss

Next, we stop for a leisurely walk to Gullfoss Waterfall, where the Hvítá glacial river cascades down 32 meters in two stages into a narrow canyon, accompanied by a powerful, thundering roar.

The Highlands

At the edge of the central highlands, where untouched, pristine nature begins, you will board one of our custom-built Super Trucks, designed to navigate rough, snowy terrain with its massive tires. The drive to the snowmobile base camp at the foot of Langjökull Glacier offers a unique Arctic highland experience, and the snowmobile tour that follows is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Glacial Snowmobiling

Embark on a guided snowmobile tour across the vast, frozen snow and ice fields of one of the world’s largest glaciers, exploring one of the last true wilderness areas in Europe—and indeed, the world.
