Silver Circle

West Iceland's hidden masterpiece: the Viking-history town of Borgarnes, Snorri Sturluson's medieval home at Reykholt, Europe's most powerful hot spring at Deildartunguhver, and the ethereal 900 m lava waterfalls of Hraunfossar. Far fewer crowds than the Golden Circle.

≈6 hours 260 km Easy All year Deildartunguhver – Hraunfossar – Barnafoss – Borgarnes

Golden Circle

Iceland's classic loop tour: walk the UNESCO-listed Þingvellir rift valley, watch Strokkur geyser erupt every 5–10 minutes, stand beside the two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall and explore the volcanic Kerið crater lake. All in one extraordinary day.

≈6 hours 240 km Easy All year Þingvellir – Geysir – Gullfoss

South Coast

Walk behind Seljalandsfoss, climb to the top of Skógafoss, stand before the legendary Reynisfjara black sand beach and explore the southernmost village of Vík. Includes the panoramic Dyrhólaey promontory with its puffin colony and natural rock arch.

≈12 hours 420 km Easy All year Seljalandsfoss – Skógafoss – Reynisfjara – Vík

Krýsuvík – Reykjanes

Half a day into Iceland's most active volcanic landscape: the eerie Kleifarvatn lake, boiling mud pots of Seltún, the roaring Gunnuhver hot spring, a walk across two tectonic plates at the Bridge Between Continents, and Iceland's oldest lighthouse on the Atlantic headland.

≈5 hours 160 km Easy All year Kleifarvatn – Krýsuvík/Seltún – Bridge Between Continents

Snæfellsnes Peninsula

"Iceland in Miniature" — Kirkjufell (as seen in Game of Thrones), the black Búðakirkja church, Arnarstapi sea cliffs, Djúpalónssandur's ancient lifting stones, and Snæfellsjökull — the glacier Jules Verne chose as the entrance to the centre of the Earth.

≈12 hours 380 km Easy All year Kirkjufell – Arnarstapi – Búðir – Djúpalónssandur

Reykjavík Sightseeing

Private city tour of Reykjavík's greatest landmarks: Hallgrímskirkja tower views, Harpa's prize-winning glass facade, the Sun Voyager seafront sculpture, the Perlan ice cave and Northern Lights planetarium, and the bird-filled Tjörnin pond beside the Parliament.

≈2 hours 30 km Easy All year Hallgrímskirkja – Harpa – Sun Voyager – Perlan
