The journey

Iceland's most iconic routes, at your own pace

Go beyond Iceland's famous sights on an extraordinary journey through remote landscapes, historic regions and little-visited coastal communities. Begin in the saga-rich valleys of Dalir before heading into the rugged Westfjords, with colourful beaches, dramatic cliffs and the majestic Dynjandi waterfall. Continue north through Isafjordur and remote Strandir before exploring the volcanic wonders of Lake Myvatn. Follow the Arctic Coast Way to the far northeast, where deserted peninsulas, bird-rich cliffs and tiny fishing villages create a true sense of wilderness. The journey continues through the remote Eastfjords before flying back to Reykjavik, combining dramatic scenery, fascinating history and some of Iceland's most authentic experiences.

1Valleys of Dalir
Valleys of Dalir

The valleys of Dalir are steeped in history dating back to the Settlement of Iceland, as the main setting for many of Iceland's sagas and also where Eirikur “the Red” and his son Leifur Eiriksson lived. The unfrequented coastal route around Fellsstrond and Skardsstrond offers breathtaking views of the countless islands of Breidafjordur, with the backdrops of Snaefellsnes and the Westfjords.
