Two very different rides in a single day. Spend an hour snowmobiling on Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, reached by Super Jeep. Come evening, take a guided jet ski out onto Faxaflói Bay in the long light of an Icelandic summer. Each is booked as its own tour, so if weather cancels one, the other still goes ahead.
Climb aboard a Super Jeep and head far into the interior to Lakagígar, a row of more than 130 craters from the 1783 to 1784 Skaftáreldar eruption, one of the greatest in Iceland's history. You leave the driving to a local guide, then stop at the remote Fagrifoss waterfall and the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon along the way. Small group of up to twelve, mid-June to mid-September.
Fit the South Coast's headline sights into one day from Reykjavík. Feel the spray at Skógafoss, walk the black volcanic sand at Reynisfjara beneath its basalt columns, take in the view from the hilltop church in Vík, and in summer, step behind the water at Seljalandsfoss. It finishes at Reykjaböð, a new geothermal lagoon at the entrance to the Reykjadalur valley near Hveragerði, with a sauna and cold plunge for contrast bathing. The 10-hour tour departs year-round, with pickup included and a cho
Two ways to meet the ice in one day. Ride a Zodiac low among the icebergs of Fjallsárlón, the quieter neighbor of nearby Jökulsárlón, no experience needed. At Skaftafell, walk onto Falljökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull, with a certified guide and crampons underfoot. You choose which to do first, for ages 8 and up, April to November.
Snorkel between two tectonic plates in the Silfra fissure at Þingvellir National Park, floating through glacial meltwater with visibility over 330 ft (100 m). A dry suit and certified guide are included, in groups of no more than six. Afterward, drive to Laugarvatn Fontana to unwind in geothermal pools and steam rooms by the lake. Self-drive, meet-on-location, for ages 12 and up.
Follow the Golden Circle and South Coast over three days, from Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and a natural ice cave. Travel in a small group, with an experienced tour guide throughout and a certified glacier guide for the ice cave experience. On the final day, a round-trip transfer takes you to the Blue Lagoon for a Comfort soak, then a guided minibus sets off to chase the Northern Lights before returning to Reykjavík late in the evening.
Sail a small Zodiac low on the water at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, weaving between icebergs toward the glacier front, closer than larger amphibian boats go. The ride lasts 75 minutes, with a flotation suit and life jacket provided. Fixed daily departure times and a limited-seat group, for ages 10 and up, May to October.
Two glacier experiences, one day. Paddle among the icebergs of Fjallsárlón, the quiet lagoon west of Jökulsárlón, in a small group of six with no experience needed. Then drive on to Skaftafell and walk onto Falljökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull, with a certified guide and crampons underfoot. For ages 10 and up, May to September.
Circle the whole island in six days, from the Golden Circle and South Coast waterfalls to the icebergs of Jökulsárlón, Lake Mývatn, and the basalt canyon at Stuðlagil. Hike a glacier or step into the Crystal Ice Cave by season, and watch for whales in Eyjafjörður, all in a small group led by an expert guide. On the last evening, a round-trip transfer takes you to the Blue Lagoon, where Comfort admission covers a towel, a silica mud mask, and one drink.
Ride low to the water and get right in among the icebergs on Fjallsárlón, close enough to touch the smaller ones. The ice here breaks off Fjallsjökull, the glacier that flows down Öræfajökull, Iceland's largest active volcano. Groups are limited to 6 participants, no experience is needed, and the tour lasts about 1.5 hours. Open to ages 10 and up.
Alternate between a Finnish sauna at 80°C and an 11°C plunge for the contrast bathing built into Icelandic wellness culture. The spa sits in Vaðlaskógur, 5 minutes from central Akureyri, above Eyjafjörður. Refuel at Forest Bistro by the fireplace. Three admission packages let you add a towel and one or two drinks, with a free shuttle from town.
Climb aboard a small inflatable zodiac and weave between drifting icebergs in the quiet waters of Fjallsárlón, the smaller and quieter neighbor of nearby Jökulsárlón. Your guide brings you close to the wall of Fjallsjökull, an outlet of Vatnajökull and Europe's largest glacier, where you might hear a piece of ice calve into the water. The 75-minute tour suits ages 5 and up.
Cross Falljökull and continue onto the secluded Virkisjökull on Glacier Beyond, an original Arctic Adventures route and the first guided day hike to combine both outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull in a single day. Spend 3.5 to 4 hours on the ice with a certified glacier guide, in small groups of up to 12, walking past icefalls, basalt columns rarely seen on a glacier hike, and views of Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak. First departures June 15, 2026, in Skaftafell.
Step into Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon and float among drifting icebergs beneath an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull. With a buoyant immersion suit and an expert guide by your side, you’ll experience Iceland’s glacier landscape from the water—no prior experience needed. A short but memorable adventure on the South Coast, about 4.5 hours from Reykjavík.
See Iceland’s must-visit sights with ease on this 3-day guided trip from Reykjavík. Travel with a Chinese-speaking guide to waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches, and explore a natural ice cave depending on the season. Includes hotel stays, breakfast, and a small-group experience throughout.
Experience a new small-group journey that connects Iceland’s most celebrated landscapes with its quietest region. Explore the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, black-sand shores, Jökulsárlón, and a natural ice cave, then continue to the remote Westfjords for dramatic cliffs, colorful beaches, and winding fjord scenery.
Experience one of Iceland’s most complete small-group journeys, circling the entire Ring Road and reaching the rarely visited Westfjords. Visit major highlights, hike on a glacier, and go whale watching, then continue to quiet fjords, towering bird cliffs, and remote coastal landscapes few travelers see.
Start your evening with a cozy countryside campfire outside Reykjavík—blankets, hot chocolate, and toasted marshmallows included while you settle into the night. Then head out with a Northern Lights guide to search for clear skies in areas like Þingvellir, Reykjanes, or Hellisheiði. When the aurora appears, you’ll see why people come all the way to Iceland for this.
Journey from Akureyri into the otherworldly landscapes of North Iceland. Watch the waters of Goðafoss thunder into a crescent canyon, cross steaming geothermal plains, and wander through twisted lava formations shaped by ancient eruptions. This half-day escape reveals the raw forces and quiet beauty that define the Lake Mývatn region.
Step inside a massive lava tunnel, then travel across Iceland’s volcanic landscapes on this full-day combo tour. Walk through the Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel, cross hardened lava fields on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and stop at geothermal areas, crater lakes, and coastal viewpoints along the way.
Journey from Reykjavík into the Westfjords’ wild terrain. Traverse fjord roads, climb viewpoints, walk red-sand beaches, visit Viking sites, and explore coastal towns. With small-group travel and expert guides, this 3-day adventure reveals one of Iceland’s most dramatic regions.
A full-day route through Iceland’s Golden Circle pairs natural landmarks with time to unwind at Laugarvatn Fontana. After waterfalls, geysers, and Þingvellir National Park, relax in geothermal pools and steam baths within recently updated spa facilities set beside Lake Laugarvatn.
