Waterfalls, glacier lagoons, the Golden Circle, and a guided Super Jeep expedition into the remote valley of Þórsmörk. Iceland's classic route, done properly.
This 10-day self-drive journey takes you through the full sweep of Iceland — from Reykjavik’s vibrant streets to the raw East Fjords and back. Walk behind Seljalandsfoss, watch Strokkur erupt on the Golden Circle, cross the black sands of Vík, and drift past calving icebergs at Jökulsárlón. Feel the ground shake at Dettifoss and explore the fairy-tale fjords of Iceland’s remote east, where wild reindeer roam freely along the roadside.
The trip’s defining moment: a full-day guided Super Jeep expedition into Þórsmörk — a hidden highland valley completely enclosed by glaciers, accessible only by fording unbridged rivers. Your expert guide leads you through ancient birch forests and past towering glacier tongues into a world that feels entirely untouched.
Land at Keflavik Airport, pick up your rental car and drive into Reykjavik. Stroll along the harbour to Harpa Concert Hall — its geometric glass facade shifting colours with the sunlight — and discover the iconic Sun Voyager sculpture by the water's edge.
Þingvellir National Park (UNESCO) where the tectonic plates meet and Iceland's ancient parliament first convened in 930 AD. Strokkur Geyser erupts every 12 minutes in a dramatic column of boiling water — lending its name to geysers worldwide. Gullfoss in two tiers into a rugged canyon. Kerið volcanic crater and the lesser-known Faxi waterfall.
Þórsmörk — "Thor's Forest" — is a remote highland valley completely enclosed by glaciers, accessible only by Super Jeep that fords unbridged glacial rivers. Towering tongues of ice, ancient birch forests carpeting the valley floor, dramatic ridges of volcanic rock. Raw, wild, and utterly unforgettable — Iceland at its most untamed.
Seljalandsfoss — one of the few waterfalls in the world you can walk completely around. Skógafoss where on sunny days a double rainbow shimmers in the spray. Beneath Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano whose 2010 eruption halted Northern Hemisphere air travel. Black sands of Vík. Dyrhólaey cliffs for puffins. Kirkjugólf — nature's own basalt cathedral tiles.
Fjaðrárgljúfur — a breathtaking canyon carved by ancient glacial floods. Skaftafell Nature Reserve with its jet-black waterfall. Vatnajökull — Europe's largest glacier. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon where colossal icebergs calve from the glacier and drift silently toward the sea. Diamond Beach glittering with ice sculptures.
Iceland's most isolated region. Seyðisfjörður — a fairy-tale village of colourful wooden houses nestled along the fjord's edge. Dramatic Hengifoss waterfall. Free-roaming herds of wild reindeer, found nowhere else in Iceland, often spotted grazing along the roadside.
Dettifoss — Europe's most powerful waterfall, whose roar is heard before it's seen. Krafla — last erupted in 1984, leaving a surreal landscape of smouldering lava fields. Námafjall geothermal field bubbling with sulphurous mud pools. Lake Mývatn and Dimmuborgir — the otherworldly rock towers legendary as Iceland's Christmas trolls' home.
Goðafoss — Waterfall of the Gods, whose sweeping arc carries almost mythological presence. Akureyri, Iceland's vibrant northern capital — botanical gardens, café-lined streets. Through Öxnadalur mountain pass of jagged peaks. Skagafjörður, Iceland's horse country, where the finest Icelandic horses roam river valleys and lakeside meadows. Glaumbær turf farm museum.
Hraunfossar — dozens of natural springs emerge from beneath a lava field cascading into the Hvítá river in a shimmering kilometre-long curtain. Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, rising at nearly 100°C. Reykholt, medieval home of scholar Snorri Sturluson whose writings preserved Norse mythology for the world.
Spend your last morning at leisure in Reykjavik — browse the colourful streets of the old town, pick up final souvenirs, or enjoy a slow breakfast at one of the city's celebrated coffee houses. Then head to Keflavik Airport to return your car and board your flight home.
