Twin Share ARRIVE REYKJAVIK Delve into a mythical land

forged by fire and ice. Our epic journey through lush lava fields and the windswept landscapes of Iceland begins in the quirky capital of Reykjavik. Spend time exploring Iceland's Viking heritage and admire the beautiful natural backdrop, before meeting your Travel Director and fellow travellers for a Welcome Reception. (WR) Hotel: Grand Reykjavik

REYKJAVIK – THINGVELLIR – GULLFOSS – GEYSER AREA – VÍK AREA We leave the capital, journeying through Iceland's volcanic landscapes to Thingvellir National Park, where we will see first-hand how the movements of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates have carved into the earth's crust. Visit the world-famous hot spring area of Geyser and see Strokkur shoot a spectacular plume of water and steam high into the air. Our next stop is the 'Golden Waterfall' of Gullfoss, saved at the turn of the last century by the tenacity of a farmer's daughter who threatened to throw herself into its depths if it was developed for hydroelectric power. Continue along the south shore and stop to admire the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, before arriving in the Vík area for dinner. (BB, D) Hotel: Katla

VÍK AREA – SKAFTAFELL – JÖKULSÁRLÓN – HÖFN This morning, we cross the vast expanse of Eldhraun, the largest mass of lava ever to flow on the face of the earth, before reaching Skaftafell National Park. See the largest glacier in Iceland, the Vatnajökull, before continuing to Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, for magnificent views of the ice cap and drifting icebergs that melt into obscurity in the lake's waters. This afternoon, 'Dive Into Culture' at the Thorbergur Centre, where you'll learn about one of Iceland's most famous 20th-century writers over cake, and coffee or tea. Later, we travel to Höfn, the lobster capital of Iceland. (BB, ) Hotel: Höfn Hotel

HÖFN – EASTERN FJORDS – LAKE LAGARFLJOT The mystical landscapes of Almannaskard Pass provide a spectacular backdrop for our leisurely journey along the majestic southern coast of Iceland. We continue to the East Fjords with their towering mountains that plunge dramatically into the Norwegian Sea. Tonight, we stay on the shores of Lake Lagarfljot, in Iceland's biggest forest. (BB, D) Hotel: Hallormsstadur

LAKE LAGARFLJOT – DETTIFOSS – LAKE MYVATN – AKUREYRI (2 NIGHTS) Explore the vast moonscape of Mödrudalsöræfi, a highland desert plateau which astronauts once used as a practice ground for their voyage to the moon. Then journey to Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall, before continuing towards Námaskard Pass with its colourful bubbling mud pools. See the natural beauty of Lake Myvatn and the twisted Dimmuborgir rock pillars, chimneys and towers that rise from the surrounding lava landscape. We journey north to the bustling port of Akureyri with its fine timber

buildings beautifully restored to their original glory, stopping en route at Godafoss Waterfall. (BB, D) Hotel: Kea

AKUREYRI – SIGLUFJÖRDUR EXCURSION Spend the day in the fishing town of Siglufjördur, nestled within a dramatic fjord on the very edge of Iceland's steep northern mountains. Explore the town at your leisure or consider a whale watching excursion for a chance to see these majestic creatures up close. Amble along the harbour lined with colourful façades or visit one of the local art galleries before returning to Akureyri in the afternoon for some time at leisure. Enjoy dinner this evening at your hotel. (BB, D)

AKUREYRI – BORGAERNES Majestic mountains and narrow passes lead to Skagafjördur, renowned for its horse breeding traditions. Here, we'll 'Connect With Locals' over a Be My Guest lunch on a local horse farm.

BORGAERNES – SNÆFELLSNES PENINSULA – REYKJAVIK (2 NIGHTS) Connect with the geological wonders of Snæfellsnes and admire its lava fields, volcanoes, glacier, springs, beautifully formed rock, and yellow and black sand beaches. The main attraction is Snæfellsjökull glacier, a beautifully shaped stratovolcano at the very end of the peninsula. The glacier is also known as the location for Jules Verne's novel 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. This afternoon, complete your circuit around Iceland as you arrive back in Reykjavik. (BB) Hotel: Grand Reykjavik

REYKJAVIK SIGHTSEEING AND BLUE LAGOON VISIT AND BATHE Explore the small capital city of Reykjavik on a sightseeing tour this morning. See all the city's major attractions including the Parliament, the harbour, the Harpa Concert Hall, and see the city's main landmark, the Hallgrímskirkja Church perched at the top of a hill in the heart of the city. 'Dive Into Culture' at the world-famous Blue Lagoon (please remember to pack your swimwear) - its steaming turquoise waters are said to have healing powers.
