Keflavik Airport
Grab your rental car and some snacks for the road.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
One of Iceland's most famous falls because you can actually walk in a cave behind the cascading water.
Skaftafell - Vatnajökull National Park
A lush oasis surrounded by black sands and massive glaciers. Home to the basalt-column waterfall Svartifoss.
Studlagil Canyon
A turquoise river flowing through a canyon of perfectly hexagonal basalt columns. It's a photographer's dream.
Day 2 · Glaciers & Waterfalls
Morning at the ice lagoons before heading back west toward the famous Skogafoss.
Fjallsarlon Ice Lagoon
A glacier lake where you can see the ice wall calving directly into the water. Much more intimate than Jokulsarlon.
Skogafoss Waterfall
One of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a 60m drop. On sunny days, look for the double rainbow.
Godafoss Waterfall
A historic and beautiful waterfall where Iceland's lawspeaker threw his Norse statues to symbolize the conversion to Christianity.
The Blue Lagoon
Geothermal spa in a lava field. The milky blue water is rich in silica and sulfur.
Day 3 · North to South
Exploring the geothermal wonders of the North before heading back toward the capital.
Hverir Geothermal Area
A large geothermal field with boiling mud pools and hissing fumaroles. No vegetation, just raw earth power.
Akureyri Town
Iceland's second-largest city, nestled at the base of a fjord. Great for shopping and botanical gardens.
Dyrholaey Promontory
A 120m high promontory offering panoramic views of the black sand beaches and the famous sea arch.
Hallgrimskirkja
Designed to resemble the basalt lava flows of Iceland's landscape. The view from the tower is the best in the city.
