Trip Itinerary

Reykjavík
Day 1-2
Our adventure starts in Reykjavic, from here we drive our car towards Grindavik. We will check the webcams of the Fagradalsfjall volcano on the way and see if they are suitable for climbing the summit. The 3 hour hike across lava fields to the (hopefully) active volcano is a spectacular experience. However, if conditions are not ideal, we will head to the Blue Lagoons for a relaxing afternoon in the hot springs. The entrance fee is not yet included and is about 50-60€, depending on when you book. After splashing out we will continue east and move into our quarters for the night. P.S: Look up, the Nothern Lights will follow our route!

Grindavik
Day 2-3
We leave and make our way to Vik. On the way we stop at the spectacular Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls and make friends and family jealous with our cool photos! Afterwards we will go shopping together and get everything we need for a nice evening!

Vik
Day 3-4
What is better than a lot of fresh air. We spend the day leisurely, sleep in and take a relaxing trip to the nearby Black Sand Beach, where we can take a walk to the Solheimasander airplane wreck and then drive to the Dyrholaey cliffs. Afterwards, we'll curl up on the sofa in front of the fireplace with tea and mulled wine and play games.

Vik
Day 4-5
The following day we will visit Katla Ice Cave. We will be picked up by a jeep in the morning and taken to the glacier, from where we will do a short hike into the black and white Katla Cave. A unique and fascinating experience. Don't forget your camera, sturdy shoes and good mood!
5
Thingvellir National Park
Day 5-6
Back on the road. Today we head towards Thingvellir National Park with stops at Bruanfoss Waterfall and the world famous Gullfoss Waterfall. But as if that wasn't enough, we also stop by Strokken Geyser before arriving in Thingvellir in the evening.

Thingvellir National Park
Day 6-7
From our cabin we will go exploring through the national park and can marvel at gorges, unique rock formations and endless nature. This day is kind of flexible and everyone can decide, if they want to be active or enjoy the day in the cozy cabin! And where would be a better place than in nature to experience the northern lights at night?

Reykjavík
Day 7-8
And back to the beginning! We spend the morning relaxing in the national park before heading back to Reykjavic, where we spend one last evening together, exploring the city and getting ready to head home! What an adventure!
