Tour overview:

Discover the raw magic of Iceland, where nature reveals itself in breathtaking contrasts. Wander among cascading waterfalls and ancient glaciers, traverse vast black lava fields, and watch sulfur steam rise through rust-hued hillsides like a scene from another world. This Adventure Tour invites you to experience Iceland’s most dramatic landscapes—culminating in an unforgettable moment beneath the sky, as the rare spectacle of a total solar eclipse unfolds overhead.

Day 1 - Golden Circle

A short drive brings us to Thingvellir National Park, where we’ll hike along the dramatic fault lines that reveal the rifting of the Earth’s crust. Along the way, we’ll hear about the major historical events that unfolded here and learn why Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After the hike, we’ll visit the beautiful Brúarárfoss waterfall before continuing around the Golden Circle to the mighty Gullfoss waterfall and the spouting hot springs at Geysir.

Accommodation: Three nights at Hotel Kvika on Iceland’s South Coast, surrounded by wide-open, sparsely populated landscapes.

Meals: Breakfast and dinner at the hotel.

Day 2 - Mt. Hengill

A day around Mt. Hengill feels like Iceland has turned the “contrast” knob all the way up: black lava underfoot, neon-green moss, and sulphur steam drifting across rust-coloured hillsides.

We’ll drive to Nesjavellir, where our hike begins near the geothermal plant’s pipes and rising steam plumes. From there, we climb onto open volcanic terrain—dark lava and bright moss giving way to colourful geothermal ground with vents and mineral-stained slopes. After a snack and photo stop at a viewpoint overlooking Þingvallavatn (Lake Þingvellir), we descend back toward Nesjavellir and return to our hotel for dinner.

Accommodation: Hotel Kvika

Meals: Breakfast and dinner at the hotel

Day 3 - Reykjanes Peninsula

Today we explore the dramatic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Our first stop is the Seltún Geothermal Area, where bubbling mud pools and steaming vents showcase the powerful forces beneath the surface.

Next, we head to Fagradalsfjall, one of Iceland’s youngest volcanic areas, to walk the striking lava fields formed during recent eruptions. Although there is no flowing lava now, the hardened terrain still tells an extraordinary story of nature’s raw power. The hike to the viewpoint takes around 45 minutes each way, across an almost otherworldly landscape. Our guide will share insights into the region’s geology and stories from the eruption period.

Afterwards, we visit Grindavík, a town deeply affected by volcanic activity. We’ll see the protective barriers built to help divert lava flows and explore the tectonic rifts that cut through the area.

We’ll end the day at a carefully chosen location to witness the Total Solar Eclipse:

Partial eclipse begins: 16:47

Totality: 17:48–17:50

If weather conditions are unfavorable, we may adjust the itinerary to improve our chances of clear skies.

Accommodation: Hotel Kvika. Meals: Breakfast and dinner at the hotel

Day 4 - South Coast

On our final full day of exploration, we travel along the South Coast to the famous black-sand beach of Reynisfjara, where basalt columns, roaring Atlantic waves, and dramatic sea stacks create an unforgettable scene. We also visit the charming village of Vík.

In the afternoon, we enjoy an exciting glacier hike on Sólheimajökull. Equipped with crampons and ice axes, we step onto the ice and learn about glacier formation, movement, and the rapidly changing landscape—guided by experienced professionals.

We then stop at the majestic Skógafoss waterfall, and Seljalandsfoss waterfall before we return to Reykjavík.
