About this activity
This escorted tour takes you both to classic nature hot-spots and lesser-known sights around Iceland's Ring Road. The tour includes several soft adventures and cultural visits among visits to two national parks. Some of the main highlights include Goðafoss waterfall, Lake Mývatn, Dimmuborgir lava labyrinth, Europe's biggest glacier Vatnajökull, Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, Reynisfjara shore, Þingvellir national park, Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir geothermal field. Enjoy small fishing villages, scenic fjord landscapes, geological wonders, bizarre lava formations, bubbling mud pools, alpine environment, lava fields, glaciers and erupting hot springs....Iceland has it all!
DAILY DRIVING: Total mileage without airport transfer is 1.665 km (1.032 miles), which is an average of 278 km (172 miles) per day. You spend about 4 hours per day on the bus, depending on road conditions, traffic, and daily distances. On some days the driving might be longer than on some other days.
NOTE: During the off-season, from September to May, in rare cases, a change of itinerary might be necessary especially for winter programs in Iceland, should snow, road and weather conditions not allow to follow the scheduled itinerary, and certain outdoor activities/day trips might be canceled. In this case, no refund will be given, but GJ-Travel will try to find reasonable alternatives where and whenever possible.
