Your Exclusive Journey Through Iceland’s Wonders with Expert Guides

This private 3-day tour is a curated experience crafted to showcase the dramatic beauty and geological marvels of Iceland’s most famous regions: the historic Golden Circle, the stunning South Coast, and the majestic Glacier Lagoon area. With your personal guide and private Discovery vehicle, you have the flexibility to linger longer at sites you love, explore hidden gems, and truly connect with the unique nature surrounding you.

• Day 1: The Golden Circle – History, Geysers & Waterfalls, Your Way: Begin your private exploration in your Discovery at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history meets geology. Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and explore the site of the world’s first parliament. Witness the Earth’s raw power at the Geysir Geothermal Area as Strokkur geyser erupts frequently. Be captivated by the sheer beauty and power of Gullfoss waterfall. After exploration, your private guide will take you to comfortable accommodation located along the South Coast route.

• Day 2: Towards Glaciers & Icebergs – The Journey East: Day two is a deep dive into Iceland’s glacial landscapes as we journey further east along the South Coast in your private Discovery towards the realm of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. Pass through vast landscapes like the moss-covered Eldhraun lava field and expansive black sands, enjoying distant views of glaciers. The climax is your exclusive visit to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Marvel at icebergs floating like sculptures and look for seals. Adjacent is the incredible Diamond Beach, where icebergs sparkle like diamonds on the black sand. Tonight, you’ll stay in comfortable accommodation in the Glacier Lagoon area, providing opportunities for potential Northern Lights sightings (Sept-April). Depending on your interests, your guide may include stops at other points of interest like the charming Hof Church (a turf church).

• Day 3: South Coast Icons & Scenic Return: On your final day, continue your private South Coast exploration heading west in your Discovery. Embrace the unique experience of walking behind Seljalandsfoss waterfall and admire the grandeur of Skógafoss. Visit the dramatic Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, famous for its basalt columns and Reynisdrangar sea stacks near Vík. Depending on accessible conditions, your guide might explore other hidden gems like the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon (access dependent). Enjoy the seamless journey back towards Reykjavik, reflecting on the incredible diversity you’ve witnessed.
