Detailed itinerary:
Day 1
The trip starts on Sunday with rafting the Hvítá river, a beautiful and fun river an one hours drive from Reykjavík. For the last 20 years this rafting trip has been Iceland’s most popular adventure activity and this tour includes the legendary Icelandic BBQ dinner. Before rafting we close the Golden Circle with a visit to the Geysir hot spring and the Gullfoss waterfall.
Day 2
On Monday morning we take an whale watching excursion from Reykjavik harbor. In the afternoon we continue our exploration of the open sea with our second adventure, kayaking on the spectacular Hvalfjordur fjord. The kayaking is a stoic and relaxing trip in one of the deep fjords of the North-Atlantic Ocean.
Day 3
This a day to relax and rest for the next two adventure days! Shopping and sightseeing in Reykjavik with a visit to the world famous Blue Lagoon in the afternoon.
Day 4
On Wednesday we start with a horse riding trip around the Eldhestar farm. A great chance to experience the unique Icelandic horse and its abilities. After lunch we hike to the amazing hot spring area of Reykjadalur where we take a relaxing bath in a hot river…an fairly easy but rewarding trek in to mountains riddled with hot springs.
Day 5
On Thursday we explore the hidden world of the lava field between Þingvellir and Laugarvatn. Walking into caves and discovering the marvels that the volcanic activity has created. Afterwards we take a hike through the historic site of the oldest parliament in the world at Þingvellir national park. The second adventure of the day is a surreal and breathtaking snorkeling visit to the Silfra ravine in the heart of the park. The Silfra is located on the boundary between America and Europe and offers crystal clear underwater views of the lava fissure. Silfra is one of the top ten dive sites in the world and it’s even better for snorkeling.
