Gods.” Enjoy a scenic drive to the lovely
blue Lake Mývatn, teeming with bird life in
one of Iceland’s prettiest areas, and known
for geothermal activity and producing
colored deposits. Before arriving in
Egilsstaðir, take in all the picturesque
sights Höfn has to offer, including the
breathtaking views of Europe’s largest
glacier, Vatnajökull. (B, D)
Iceland is a country known for its natural
wonders: glaciers, active volcanoes, roaring
rivers, majestic waterfalls, and glistening lakes.
Scenic highlights include colossal Gullfoss
waterfall and Goðafoss, known as the “Waterfall
of the Gods”. Take pictures at Dettifoss, the
most powerful waterfall in Europe. Drive by
Eyjafjallajökull volcano and through the natural
beauty found in Skaftafell national park. Enjoy a
picturesque visit to the gorgeous Lake Mývatn,
structured with all of its volcanic craters. Also
witness how Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull,
builds its beautiful icebergs in nearby Lake
Jökulsárlón.
In Thingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
journey through the rift valley that separates the
tectonic plates of North America and Europe. In
Geysir, learn from a Geysir restaurant chef while
you taste the local bread freshly baked using
heat from the hot springs. We also offer a boat
cruise to see whales in their natural habitat!
These are just a few of the many highlights you
can expect from this memorable Iceland tour.
Day

Day 6 Egilsstaðir–Höfn
Follow the eastern coast, where the first
Irish missionaries settled some 200 years
ago, and arrive in Höfn. The town lies near
a fjord named Hornafjörður. This harbour
town, the second largest in the southeastern part of Iceland, gives scenic views
of Vatnajökull. (B,D)
Day 7 Höfn–Lake Jökulsárlón–
Skaftafell–Vik
Prepare for the highlight of the day: Stop
at Lake Jökulsárlón, where some of the
most spectacular scenes of the James
Bond movie Die Another Day were

Europe, Vatnajökull, flows into the lake,
forming icebergs. An exciting optional
Day
