This is a private guided journey around Iceland, covering the country’s major regions in one comprehensive itinerary.
It begins in Reykjavík, then travels north to Akureyri, Hrísey Island, Goðafoss and the Lake Mývatn area, with geothermal landscapes, local food and optional nature-bath experiences.
Tour Overview
This itinerary is a suggestion for private groups who want to see as much of Iceland as possible by driving once around the island along the ring road.
We have a range of charming guesthouses and hotels (3 to 5 Star hotels) in the countryside that can accommodate small and larger private groups. All of our hotels have excellent restaurants and bar facilities.
During the Northern Lights season (September/October to March/April) a countryside location is always preferrable since it will give you better darkness to see the lights.
Please note that this itinerary is just an example and days can be exchanged, the program can be shortened or altered to your wishes!
