Short Iceland getaway: Reykjavik & Golden Circle

Day 1: Arrive Reykjavik

On arrival into Reykjavik, you will take a shuttle into the city and check into your hotel for three nights.

Days 2 and 3: Reykjavik    

To get the most out of this Iceland getaway, we've included two day trips for you. The first is a city tour, taking you through all the highlights of Reykjavik’s past and present. You’ll visit The Pearl, Hallgrimskirkja Church, the old harbour and the 101 neighbourhood  - the heart of Reykjavik. On your second day you’ll head out into the countryside and experience the best of Iceland’s natural wonders – The Golden Circle - made up of the Gullfoss waterfalls, Geysir hot springs and Thingvellir National Park. Starting with a drive inland through the national park, you’ll enjoy views of vast mountains and lava plains covered with moss and wildflowers, before witnessing the Gullfoss waterfall, cascading 96 feet down over the clifftop. You'll then watch the Geysir erupting surrounded by bubbling pools before heading back to Reykjavik.

The rest of your time is spent at your leisure. Browse the boutique shops looking for handmade jumpers before heading to the pub for a pint of craft ale and a delicious locally-grown meal. Reykjavik is a small and personable city, perfect for enjoying a relaxed evening. You can also head over to the famous Blue Lagoon, which is right next to the airport, for a dip in the thermal waters. We’ve included a return transfer for you, as well as the bathing fee, so head over, pop on a mud mask and enjoy!

Day 4: Depart Reykjavik       

Today is your final day in Reykjavik – take one last stroll around town before hopping back on the shuttle to the airport, in time to catch your flight.
