Detailed itinerary:
Day 1
The trip starts on Monday morning with a sea kayaking adventure on the spectacular Hvalfjordur fjord. The kayaking is a stoic and relaxing trip in one of the deep fjords of the North-Atlantic Ocean. In the afternoon we continue our exploration of the open sea with a whale watching excursion from Reykjavik down town harbor.
Day 2
On Tuesday we explore the hidden world of the lava field between Þingvellir and Laugarvatn. Walking into the cave, discovering the marvels that the volcanic activity has created. The second adventure of the day is a surreal and breathtaking snorkeling visit to the Silfra ravine in the heart of the park. The Silfra is located on the boundary between America and Europe and offers crystal clear underwater views of the lava fissure. Silfra is one of the top ten dive sites in the world and it’s even better for snorkeling.
Day 3
On Wednesday we start with a hike to the amazing hot spring area of Reykjadalur valley where we take a relaxing bath in a hot river… a fairly easy but rewarding trek in to mountains riddled with hot springs. Heading to Eldhestar horse farm for lunch, followed by a horse riding trip around the farm. A great chance to experience the unique Icelandic horse and its abilities.
Day 4
This is a day to relax and rest up for your last adventure day! Shopping and sightseeing in Reykjavik with a visit to the world famous Blue Lagoon in the afternoon. Come to our shop down town Reykjavík for maps and info, we will book you on the Blue Lagoon bus, offering six different departure times every day.
Day 5
On Friday morning we head out for an amazing visit to the Golden Circle. There we will see the Geysir hot spring area, the Gullfoss waterfall and Þingvellir national park.
