All the basic raw material is Icelandic, from the local waters to the mountains where the lambs graze with the reindeers in the summer.

Day 3 - Friday: The Golden Circle

After breakfast visit the marvelous sights on the Golden Circle route. Walk around the world-famous Geyser area, a geothermal field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. One of the many highlights of our tour is the Gullfoss waterfall, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls.

Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to Thingvellir National Park, the original site of the oldest existing parliament in the world. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible, a rift that is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates.

With little time to waste, we climb into our jeeps and head out to explore this land of extreme nature. Our 4X4 super-jeep tour takes us to the stunning Landmannalaugar geothermal area in the Icelandic interior and the imposing Mt. Hekla - one of Iceland's most prominent and active volcanoes. It’s simply magical!

We start in Þjórsárdalur valley, a prosperous farming region completely laid to waste by the devastating 1104 eruption from Mt. Hekla. Then we visit the Hjálparfoss waterfall. After time for lunch, we drive to the Landmannalaugar area, where we can bathe in completely natural hot pools in beautiful surroundings before driving back to Reykjavik via the Dómadalur valley.

Day 5 - Sunday: South Coast & Glacier Hike

South Iceland is a lowland region of lush farmland, striking waterfalls, sandy coastline, glaciers, active volcanoes (Eyjafjallajokull among others) and quaint towns and villages. It is also an area of historical significance. Here the famous Icelandic Saga of Njáll occurred. This tour is ideal for nature lovers of all kinds. Visitors have an opportunity to stand behind a plummeting waterfall, gaze at natural rock formations and feel the amazing power of a glacier.

Our adventure begins with a drive along the south coast highway to an icy glacial tongue known as Sólheimajökull. It’s another-worldly scene, rugged and raw; a tangled, frozen wasteland. Armed with an ice axe and crampons, we advance on foot up the glacier’s icy slope and edge past deep crevasses into increasingly spectacular surroundings.

Tonight enjoy our farewell dinner at the Fish Company. A 4 course menu will be served that tantalizes the taste buds with only the best of what both the land and sea has to offer and treated with a daring choice of herbs and spices from all corners of the world.
