Itinerary Day 1 Transfer by shuttle bus from Keflavik International Airport to your hotel.
Day 2A Ride Through the Lava on HorsebackSaddle up and head out into the lava fields surrounding the extinct volcano of Mt Helgafell. Visit the old sheep corral then head for Lake Hvaleyrarvatn. This is a truly scenic ride on horseback with a backdrop of jagged peaks and wild terrain. You will be riding with a guide on excellent bridleways, and all riding gear is provided, including helmets and gloves.
Romance in the Blue Lagoon (half day evening tour)Located in a geothermal area in the middle of a lava field, the Blue Lagoon offers a range of recreational activities, including bathing in the therapeutic water, outdoor massages, spa treatments or simply walking in the spectacular lava that surrounds the facility. Included: Transfer, admission, towel, bathrobe, cocktail and two-course meal in the Lava Restaurant.
Day 3 Golden Circle A number of Iceland’s most beautiful and historically significant locations can be found within a short distance of each other. Amongst them, you will find Gullfoss – The Golden Falls – where the mighty River Hvítá plunges into a narrow, dark canyon. On sunny days a rainbow glitters in the spray above the raging torrent. Nearby is Geysir, an area of hot springs that gave the English language the term geyser, a surprising phenomenon where a huge fountain of scalding water intermittently spouts from the ground. A short drive across the barren heath leads to Þingvellir, a national park which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Geological forces are relentlessly pulling the surface of the earth apart, and the growing gap between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates can clearly be seen. It is also the site of the world’s oldest parliament, a place of great cultural and historical significance for Icelanders.
Day 4 Transfer from your hotel to the airport.
