Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before heading over to the Glacier Lagoon where we will see the famous icebergs floating on the lagoon. If we’re lucky we might spot some seals. Afterward, we’ll go back to Skaftafell National Park where we’ll join a Glacier Hike at 2:15 pm on a stunning outlet glacier that extends from Vatnajokull, the largest glacier in Europe. We’ll walk through a wonderland of glacial ice sculptures, ice ridges, and deep crevasses on the glacier with our experienced glacier guide.  When the sun goes down we should be able to see the northern lights if the skies are clear. 

Overnight at Hotel Klaustur

After breakfast, it’s time to head back to Reykjavik. On the way back our guide will show us some of the highlights of the South Coast before taking us to Reykjavik where we’ll  spend the next four nights. 

Overnight at Hotel Island

We have a free day to explore Reykjavik on our own. At night we’ll have our New Years’ dinner together at Sumac Restaurant downtown. After dinner we’ll walk down to Hallgrimskirkja Church at midnight to experience the authentic Icelandic New Years’ Eve fireworks show! 

Overnight at Hotel Island.

We have the day to ourselves in Reykjavik. Some of us may explore the city some more while others will take it easy potentially nursing a hangover from the night before. Whatever you decide, the day is yours! 

Overnight at Hotel Island

We have a private bus taking us to the active volcano in Geldingadalur. After the hike the driver will take us to the famous Blue Lagoon where we can spend the evening relaxing in the milky blue waters. 

Overnight at Hotel Island

After an unforgettable week in Iceland we’ll end the trip with a two-course lunch at one of Reykjaviks finest restaurants. After lunch we’ll have a private airport transfer by bus to Keflavik Airport.
