Active Iceland

After breakfast this morning, we'll take a scenic drive of the Golden Circle, before a thrilling white water rafting experience! We'll paddle around 7km, through perfect lagoon and rushing rivers and breathing in that fresh Iceland air. Next, we're headed to Midgard Base Camp, where the Northern Lights often show their face. Perfect for when you're soaking in a rooftop hot tub! Prepare yourself for the spectacular Thingvellir National Park, the site where Game of Thrones was filmed!

We'll take a scenic drive of the area, before visiting an Icelandic farm, to get a taste of what life is like running a ranch on this frosty landscape! (And don't forget the cute animal selfies, too) It's up to you how you spend the rest of the day. Opt for a trip to the Secret Lagoon for geyser spotting and a toasty-warm swim, or head back to town for some chill time. And there's more relaxation on the way at Midgard Base Camp, where we can relax in the rooftop hot tubs & saunas. Ahhh... (B) Stay: Midgard Base Camp (or similar)

Rise and shine! After breakfast we're headed across the astonishingly beautiful south shore. It's time for more spectacular waterfalls, the famous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. After gawping at their thundering beauty, we're headed past the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier to Reynisfjara beach. Talk a walk along the uniquely black sands, admire the crazy rock formations and remind yourself you're still on planet earth.

Finally, you can opt for a kayaking adventure on Solheimajokull lagoon, or enjoy an included Blue Ice Experience with our certified and experienced glacier guide in Skaftafell. As you walk through a wonderland of glacial ice sculptures, ice ridges and deep crevasses on the glacier, you will witness stunning scenery as far as the eye can see. Prepare to be transported to an icy, foreign planet! (B/D) Stay: Fosshotel Nupar Kirkjubaejarklaustur (or similar)

After breakfast today we're headed towards the Reykjanes peninsula. Prepare yourself for an exclusive bike tour along the hot springs of Hveragerði. This super unique, geothermal area has only existed since 2008 when an earthquake struck the town. We'll cook eggs and try fresh bread, both cooked on the hot springs, before ending our tour with a relaxing bath in the heated swimming pool.

Later on, we'll take part in a local restoration program located in the Haukadalur Valley and find out why Iceland's eco-system is so unique (MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®). You'll probably be hungry after all that, so this evening, let's tuck into some modern Icelandic cuisine! We'll shack up at a cute harborside restaraunt in Reykjavik and reflect on the incredible trip so far. (B) Stay: Kex Hostel (or similar)
