You wake up to a thick blanket of snow, ready to explore some sort of another planet in Lake Mývatn Area. Your first stop is at Goðafoss Waterfall, a beautiful arenalike waterfall that saw the end of Norse Paganism in Iceland. Take in the stunning sights at Dimmuborgir Lava Field, Grjótagjá Cave, Hverir Geothermal Area, and Krafla Volcanic Crater. End this day of walking and sightseeing with a relaxing moment in the silky blue waters of Mývatn Nature Baths. Under the Northern Lights?

Accommodation in Lake Mývatn area.

Reach the northern part of your trip, including amazing sights such as the horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi Canyon, the intriguing Hljóðaklettar Cliffs and the stunning landscapes. Proceed East across the stark and barren landscape of Möðrudalsöræfi - should we say moonscape, since astronauts once used the area as a practice ground for their mission to the moon. Keep an eye out for wild reindeers in the snow before you relax and re-energize at Egilsstaðir for the night. 

Accommodation in Egilsstaðir area.

Embark on a breathtaking drive along the twisting narrow Eastfjords, between rugged mountains. Visit Seyðisfjörður, clamped between high precipitous mountains, and full of cosy little cafés. Continue along a winding coastal road until you reach Djúpivogur, a tiny fishing town on the water’s edge surrounded by peaks. From there is a unique view over Papey Island, home to colonies of Common Eider and seals. End the day with the most delicious lobster soup at Höfn, just a stone’s throw away from the snow-topped Vestrahorn Mountain and Stokksnes Peninsula. Ask your hosts for recommendations on where to best see the Northern Lights, put on a wharm hat and gloves and start hunting.

Accommodation in Höfn area.

Today, you enjoy the southern part of Vatnajökull National Park. At the otherworldly Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, hop on an amphibian boat and sail among the gigantic icebergs. Visit the nearby Diamond Beach and its glittering stranded icebergs, a captivating wintry sea of lights. Embark on an ice caving adventure or continue to Skaftafell National Park, whose variety of trails will delight hiking lovers and families alike. The Park is home to Svartifoss Basalt Column Waterfall and Skaftafellsjökull Glacier, among others. 

Accommodation in Vík/Kirkjubæjarklaustur area.

Explore the best sites the South Coast has to offer, including the glorious Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach and its astounding basalt formations, the charming town Vík, and mountains in view of all sides. Just outside Vík is a panoramic view over Mýrdalsjökull ice cap and as you continue onwards, you will drive past the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Head towards two of Iceland’s star waterfalls: Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, both beautiful in their way and equally spectacular. Head to your accommodation in the evening and hope to be able to spot the Auroras from your doorstep.

Accommodation in Gullfoss/Geysir area.

Make the most of your day and head straight to Iceland’s most famous landmarks, by following the Golden Circle Route. Set foot on two continents at Thingvellir National Park covered with snow, before reaching Gullfoss Waterfall, whose beauty increases tenfold as it gets half-frozen, revealing the most intense blue waters. Meet the only active geyser in Europe, Strokkur, erupting once every 10 minutes, and try to capture the pre-eruption bubble. Add two stops at Skálholt Historical Site, once a political and cultural centre, and Kerið Volcanic Crater Lake, both very near the Golden Circle’s three main attractions. Hopefully, you will be able to top the day off with a sighting of the NOrthern Lights in the evening.
