Iceland in a Nutshell

Experience Reykjavík’s cutting edge everything; take in Iceland’s best known natural attractions: Gullfoss, Geysir and Pingvellir all glistening in a winter coat of snow; do a little culture vulturing up by Reykholt, shrine to Saga author Snorri Sturluson; drive out along the Snæfellsnes peninsula topped at its end with an eternal ‘pyramid of snow’ and round off your trip with a bathe in the Blue Lagoon.

 

DAY 1 UK-REYKJAVÍK 
Scheduled flight to Reykjavík. Transfer to Hotel Centrum for 2 nights.
DAYS 2 REYKJAVÍK 
Time to chill out, hang out or take a city tour including Hafnafjord.
DAY 3 REYKJAVÍK – HAMAR 
Courtesy transfer to collect your hire car. Drive through the Whale Bay Tunnel via Borgarnes (dripping in Saga mystery) to Hamar and overnight at Hotel Hamar for 2 nights.
DAY 4 SNAEFELLSNES 
Tear yourself away from the hotel’s exquisite views and drive alongside the Snæfellsnes peninsula whose mountain spine is a kaleidoscope of colours. Circumnavigate the peninsula and don’t miss Arnarstapi with its rock arches, basalt rocks, cocktail of wildlife and Dritvík’s ‘lifting stones’.
DAY 5 HAMAR-FLUDIR 
Drive down to the Northern end of Pingvellir, across to Geysir, where Strokkur’s eruption every 5 to 10 minutes captivates, and then up to Gullfoss the Golden Falls, where Hvítá’s glacial waters fall 32 metres in a wide curtain. Continue to Hotel Fludir for a final night.
DAY 6 FLUDIR-KAFLAVK-UK 
After breakfast, stop off at Hveragerdi, the horticultural and botanical village sitting on hot springs, and then to the Blue Lagoon, for a bathe in its pastel turquoise waters before droppindropping of your car at the airport and return flight to the UK.
