About this experience

This trip to Iceland offers an immersive experience that combines the magic of its wild nature, history, and unique culture. From day one, the trip welcomes you to the Arctic environment, beginning with the famous Golden Circle, including Strokkur Geyser, the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park.
The adventure continues as you explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula with its volcanoes, lava beaches, and basalt formations. Heading north, you will visit historic sites such as Glaumbær Farm Museum and Akureir, the capital of the North, and the mythical Goðafoss waterfall. Once in the Myvatn region, highlights include the Diamond Circle with unique sites such as Dettifoss waterfall and Húsavík Bay for whale watching.
As the journey continues east and southeast, you will explore Lake Myvatn, its impressive volcanic formations, and the Vatnajökull glacier, home to icebergs and black sand beaches at Jökulsárlón. The final days include stops at black sand beaches, glaciers, iconic waterfalls such as Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, and an unforgettable excursion to the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar.
Finally, the group returns to Reykjavík, with opportunities to explore the vibrant capital of Iceland, visit landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja Church and the Blue Lagoon, and end the trip with a farewell to Iceland's breathtaking scenery.

Good to know

If I am traveling alone, is there an extra charge for a single room?

The single room is an option for those who want a private room. If you are traveling alone and choose not to book a single room, you will be paired with another traveler of the same gender. If you choose to book your own private room, you will be required to pay the single room rate during the checkout process. If the reservation is for two people, a double room will be assigned and no supplement is required unless an additional private room is requested. No supplement is required unless an additional private room is requested or another person is joining the trip and wishes to share a room. In this case, the single room rate will be charged.


Is there a minimum group size to guarantee departure?

Yes, this is a tour with a maximum of 16 people and a minimum of 4. If the group is between 4 and 7 people, a supplement of €265 per person will be charged. When you make your reservation, you will be informed of the current group size and whether a surcharge is required. If a surcharge is necessary, it will be paid on the second payment of the trip. Suppose the minimum group size is exceeded, and you have paid the surcharge. In that case, it will be deducted from the third and final payment of the trip prior to departure. You can check with our travel consultants if a departure has a surcharge or is guaranteed by emailing reservas@arcticyeti.com.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is high wind or rain on the ice — the guide decides at the meeting point, sometimes after you have set off. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Arctic Yeti Ehf decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Children under 8 cannot join this one.

    I have had consistently excellent experiences with this company, both professionally and on a personal level. Everyone I have dealt with has been kind, helpful, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. They have also shown me genuine kindness beyond what I would normally expect, which I greatly appreciate. From a professional perspective, everything has always worked smoothly, and they are dependable and pleasant to deal with. From my own personal experience, I can also say that they treat people with consideration and are willing to help when it matters. A very positive experience overall, and a company I am happy to recommend.

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?

It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.

Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?

Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.

What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?

The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.

Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?

Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
