Overview

Read 2 reviews and enjoy exclusive savings on Contiki's 6 Day Iceland Fire and Ice. Starting in the soulful city of Reykjavik, this trip will have you widening your eyes at the best of Iceland's unique natural beauty. Along the way you’ll witness erupting geysers & cascading waterfalls, marvel at volcanoes & glaciers and soak in the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal mineral wonder surrounded by steam and stars. By the time it’s over, you’ll be floating home with a full camera reel and a lovestruck look plastered all over your face.

Itinerary

Welcome to Iceland, home to the world's most swoon-worthy sights. You'll soon be heading home with a camera roll filled with epic vistas and a head full of cherished memories. But first thing's first, it's time to get acquainted with the quirky and colourful buildings of Reykjavik (this captivating capital is cool in more ways than one). After checking into your hostel and having time to unwind, we'll bond over a tasty local dinner, feeling the frisson of excitement about the fine days that lay ahead of us. (D) Stay: Kex Hostel (or similar)

After breakfast this morning we're headed to Midgard Base Camp - but loads to see and do on the way as we make our way around the Golden Circle. First, a stop at the spectacular Thingvellir National Park before heading onto Efstidalur, where we'll enjoy a Farm to Table presentation and get a tantalising taste of the local cuisine. Then we're off to the jaw-dropping geothermal fields of Geysir and a visit to the magnificent Gullfoss Falls. The evening offers the opportunity to relax in the rooftop sauna & hot tub at Midgard Base Camp and reflect on an incredible day in this amazing country. (B) Stay: Midgard Base Camp (or similar)

Rise and shine! After breakfast we're headed across the astonishingly beautiful south shore.  It's time for more spectacular waterfalls, the famous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. After gawping at their thundering beauty, we're headed past the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier to Reynisfjara beach. Take a walk along the uniquely black sands, admire the crazy rock formations and remind yourself you're still on planet earth. (B/D) Stay: Fosshotel Nupar Kirkjubaejarklaustur (or similar)

Another day, another included breakfast and another awe-inspiring National Park to head to. Vatnajökull is named after Europe's largest ice cap, and is the largest National Park in western Europe. Cameras at the ready, we'll check out Svinafellsjökull, one of the most beautiful of the glacial outlets emerging from Vatnajökull. Today is your chance to sign up for an optional glacier adventure. We'll arrive in Vik after a day of fresh air and exploring the glorious sights that Iceland has to offer. (B/D) Stay: Hotel Katla Vik (or similar)

After breakfast today we're headed towards the Reykjanes peninsula.  Visit geothermal sites, explore dramatic coastlines and charming villages, or enjoy views over Lake Kleifarvatn with its mesmerising rock formations and legends of mythical creatures. Today you'll have a chance to take a dip in the hot springs of the Blue Lagoon. (B) Stay: Hótel Klettur (or similar)

Pack your bags back in pretty Reykjavik and try to stay on the high induced by all the wonders we've taken in. We'll say our farewells as the trip wraps up, leaving us with a deep appreciation for this special country. (B)

Amazing Trip for Young Solos 2 , United States, Sep 2021
The trip manager Rob was so knowledgeable when it comes to everything Iceland. Bus trips were short and sweet and even though it's a shorter trip - our group became such a close community. I would recommend this trip to any solo traveller who loves landscapes and beautiful scenery. We luckily saw the northern lights which topped off the whole trip!
Thank you! 1 , Canada, Sep 2021
