Did someone say tomatoes? On your journey you'll stop at Friðheimar greenhouse and restaurant, where local Icelandic farmers grow tomatoes year-round using energy from the geothermal heat found under Iceland’s surface.

Check in at your hotel in Reykjavik and get comfortable for your stay in Iceland. Take a stroll and explore the charm and allure of Old Town Reykjavik and enjoy the Nordic vibe of the town. There's plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from for a bite to eat. Check out one of the many tours available for booking, including whale watching and horse riding.

Day 2Day at your own leisure

Day at your own leisure. You can customise your trip with day tours from the relaxing Blue Lagoon tour to adventurous snowmobiling on glaciers, visit the steaming geysers or go whale watching. You will also have time to enjoy the cosy cafes and lively local nightlife.

Day 3Golden Circle tour

Today you venture out on the Golden Circle tour, including a visit to the world-famous Geysir geothermal area, a field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. It also takes you to see the Gullfoss, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls. Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to the Thingvellir National Park, the original site of the oldest existing parliament in the world. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible in the park, a rift that is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates. Hotel pick up at 08:30 hours.

Day 4Optional: Explore more of Iceland

Not ready to go home? If you want to extend your time in Iceland, you can add an extra day in Reykjavík or the surrounding area.

Relax in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon, head out on a South Coast adventure to see glaciers and black sand beaches, or try whale watching for an unforgettable encounter with Icelandic wildlife. With the option to extend your trip by up to 30 days, you can build the Iceland holiday that’s perfect for you.
