The journey

Iceland's most iconic routes, at your own pace

This five-day journey circles through the dramatic landscapes of North Iceland, where volcanic wonders meet Arctic coastline charm. Explore the Lake Myvatn region, a geothermal world of lava formations, bubbling mud pools, craters, and hidden caves. Continue to the thunderous power of Dettifoss waterfall and the sculpted beauty of Jokulsargljufur canyon, from the echoing basalt formations of Hljodaklettar to the serene forests of Asbyrgi. Head to Husavik, Iceland’s whale-watching capital, before driving the breathtaking Troll Peninsula, dotted with fishing villages, turf houses, fjord views and mountains. Finish with a full day soaking in the culture, museums and food scene of Reykjavik.
