Although the elemental beauty of Iceland has given the country an occasional reputation of being stark and unforgiving, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s actually quite welcoming and relaxing. Today will prove just how tranquil and calming Iceland can really be! We’ll start the day with a delicious breakfast, then it’s off to the Blue Lagoon — the famous, geothermally-heated hot spring. Here, let your troubles melt away as you soak in the bright blue water and indulge yourself with the property’s amenities. From here, we’ll head back to the hotel, where you’ll have the rest of the day to explore the city at your own pace.
If you had only one day in Iceland, your itinerary would be clear: drive the Golden Circle. Three of the country’s most famous attractions can be found and visited in a relatively short amount of time here. It’s almost mandatory for any intrepid Icelandic investigator, so we are naturally headed there first thing today! You’ll see the Stokkur Geysir, a geyser that explodes in plumes of water every few minutes, Thingvellir National Park, one of the country’s beautiful national parks, and Gullfoss, a massive waterfall that truly exemplifies the power of the water cycle here in Iceland. We’ll also stop at Geysir Glima for lunch, serving fresh local food. Finally, after a thrilling adventure, we’ll return to Reykjavík for dinner and drinks in town. Enjoy it all!
Day 4: Spend the day sampling the sights on Iceland’s south shore
Although there’s a lot to explore in a country like Iceland where every location seems to be more startlingly beautiful than the last, there is perhaps no finer direction to head than south. The south shore contains some of Iceland’s most iconic sights, and that’s why we’re spending the entire day on a tour there. We’ll get to explore the town of Vík, marvel at the majesty of the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and even see the famed Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach before a stop at the stunning Sólheimajökull Glacier. Just make sure your camera is charged before you head out – you won’t want to miss a single thing today. Along the way, we’ll also stop for lunch at Hotel Anna. When we return to the hotel, we’ll come together for a community meal and reflect on all the amazing sites we saw today.
Day 5: Enjoy Reykjavík with a relaxing morning yoga session, spa day, and a farewell white party
It’s your final day here in Iceland. Naturally, we’re going to celebrate with a day focused on luxury. In the morning, we’ll head over to Sólir Yoga Studio to stretch it out before a sound healing session and spa day at the posh Reykjavík EDITION Spa. Your treatment is included in the price, so just kick back and sink into the feeling of being totally pampered. When your mind and body are as relaxed as possible, you’ll have ample time for lunch and free time. However, don’t get too relaxed before we have our farewell feast at 7:30pm. Put on a white outfit and head to dinner where you can reflect on all the fun experiences you’ve had with new friends.
Day 6: Enjoy one last yoga session and some free time before catching your flight home
Sadly, the end of the trip is here, but you still have more time for relaxation in Iceland. After breakfast, head back to Sólir for one more yoga session, then drop your bags at the front desk by 11:00 am for checkout. You’ll have until 1:30 pm to finishing exploring before your group transfer will take you to the airport to catch your flight. We hope you had a stellar time exploring, relaxing, and mingling with friends new and old. Safe travels and be well!
