There are several fun museums to visit, including the Saga Museum which gives you great insight into Icelandic history and culture. Be sure not to miss the architectural wonder of the Harpa Concert Hall and the sunvoyager statue on the waterfont, the light in the evening is best!
Day 3
The Golden Circle - Pickup your rental car and Drive The Golden Circle which includes one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, geothermal hotspots, with erupting geysers and Thingvellir National Park, where two tectonic plates meet. Meet your guide and get outfitted for a once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel or scuba dive between the two tectonic plates.
Day 4

In a 4x4 buggy, you can reach the top of the mountain range to take in the spectacular views Iceland has to offer.
Day 5
Leave Reykjavik to explore the South Shore. Start with the 2 most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. They are both massive but different. There is a trail behind Seljalandsfoss for a unique and spectacular view. There are many stairs next to Skogafoss but the climb is worth the view! Next head down to the Black Sand Beaches of the Vik area where you can play in the sand, climb basalt columns and check out the impressive Reynisdrangar rock formations jetting out from the sea.
Day 6
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is considered one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland, and the result of a warming climate. Huge blocks of ice constantly break off the glacier, and large icebergs float on the lagoon. Explore the lagoon by Amphibian Boat Tour (Duck Boat) or Zodiac. After your lagoon exploration, take a snowmobile ride across the top of the glacier!
Day 7
Today you will drive back to Reykjavik and stop at any of the spots your may have missed on your drive out, including the gorgeous Fladrargljufur Canyon.
