Return to your hotel for a welcome drink and canapés with your group, followed by free time for dining independently. .
Head out on the famed Golden Circle, starting with the spectacular Thingvellir National Park, a meeting place of old Icelandic clans.

Savor lunch in the greenhouse of Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Then it's on to the Strokkur Geyser, which erupts every 10 minutes. Stop at Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland's most popular sights; with two separate drops, it's the one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Move on to your simple but beautifully-situated rural hotel below the Hekla volcano where you'll enjoy dinner with your group. (B, L, D)
Visit the LAVA Center to learn about Iceland's volcanoes, and how their eruptions and lava flows have shaped the country over time.

All of our sightseeing adventures were amazing. The accommodations were very nice. My only, I won't even call it a complaint, is that the pre-arranged meals were wonderful, but not catered to those who don't eat seafood or lamb. Accommodations for those who didn't eat eihter of those were made, but there were hiccups. Otherwise, the food was wonderful.

Everything about this tour was more than expected. The hotels we stayed at were well appointed and provided everything needed. The locations we visited on this tour gave you a good sense of what It took to settle this island and how the people survived. The food was a beautiful example of the local cuisine.

Pauli, our driver for this adventure was excellent. A gentleman and accomplished driver.
