Welcome to your Iceland Full Circle Uncovered tour, kicking off in the world’s northernmost capital! Meet your tour leader and fellow travellers at the Reykjavík hotel this afternoon for an overview of the next few days. Tonight, enjoy a hearty welcome dinner and get ready for a thrilling Iceland group tour ahead.

Tuck into wholesome local cuisine and get to know your new travel buddies.

Today, we travel through the Hvalfjörður tunnel, pausing at the Deildartunguhver – the highest-flow hot spring in Europe. Next, you’ll visit the Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, where water appears straight out of the ancient rocks. Afterwards, view the unusual Víðimýrarkirkja turf church. This afternoon, you’ll cross the Öxnadalsheiði mountain pass into North Iceland en route to Akureyri, your home for tonight. Take this evening to unwind.

Marvel at the highest-flow hot spring in Europe, tirelessly boiling at 100°C.

Watch Hraunfossar’s spring water seeping out of a lava field into the turquoise Hvítá River. Its brother, Barnafoss, showcases the same river rushing through a narrow gorge.

With its grass-covered roof, it is one of only a handful of its kind remaining in Iceland and is still a functioning parish church.

After breakfast, make your way to Goðafoss waterfall. Then, stop for photos at the Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters on Lake Mývatn, and enjoy an included lunch. Next, walk through the Dimmuborgir lava field and explore the Námaskarð geothermal area. Continue on to Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall. This afternoon, cross the scenic Möðrudalsöræfi highland desert en route to Egilsstaðir, home for the night.
Please Note: The visit to Dettifoss is dependent on road conditions. The Dettifoss viewpoint is a 15-20 minute walk each way over uneven terrain.

Experience the near-perfect horseshoe of blue-green glacial water, about 12 metres high and 30 metres wide.

Formed millennia ago when lava flowed over wetlands and trapped steam blasted up, these craters have been studied by NASA because near-identical ones exist on Mars.

These black hardened lava pillars are up to 20 metres tall. These structures normally only form on the ocean floor; this is one of the only places on Earth where you can walk among them on dry land.

These boiling mud pots are roaring steam vents with sulphur crusts, a surreal phenomenon you’re unlikely to come across again soon!

Roaring at 100 metres wide and dropping 44 metres, this waterfall releases around 200 tonnes of water a second. Meet Europe’s most powerful waterfall.
Please Note: The visit to Dettifoss is dependent on road conditions. The Dettifoss viewpoint is a 15-20 minute walk each way over uneven terrain.

Today is a day for scenery. You’ll follow the Ring Road through the Eastfjords, passing dramatic cliffs, and follow the coast to the village of Breiðdalsvík. There, visit a mid-20th-century cooperative trading post, still open today. Continue on to Djúpivogur, the country’s “slow town”, and see the Eggs of Merry Bay. Afterwards, head to your home for tonight in Höfn. The evening is yours.

Arguably the most beautiful part of the Ring Road, this region with its rugged mountains is dotted with remote fishing villages.

Iceland’s only “Slow Town” was part of the international movement that promoted a focus on quality of life rather than speed of development. Here, the Eggin í Gleðivík reminds visitors of the region’s thriving bird life.

Your first stop today is Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Just down the road, you'll visit Diamond Beach, where icebergs wash ashore. Then, cross the Eldhraun lava fields to the village of Vík. Next, Reynisfjara's black sand and towering basalt await. Move on to Skógafoss waterfall, and dare to climb to the top. Lastly, visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall and walk the optional trails, weather permitting. Tonight, enjoy free time in Selfoss.
Please Note: The Skógafoss staircase – 527 steps – and the Gljúfrabúi path at Seljalandsfoss are optional activities for fit walkers.

Strewn with icebergs, Iceland’s deepest lake reaches a record depth of about 284 meters.

Walk where chunks of ice wash ashore on black volcanic sand.

This sleepy village, known for its red-roofed hilltop church, is the perfect spot to try a traditional Icelandic hot dog for lunch.

Experience this famous beach with towering basalt columns, the Hálsanefshellir cave, and roaring waves.

This impressive 60-metre curtain of falling water, fed by nearby glaciers, is a magnificent sight to behold. You can walk right up to the base of the falls.

This is the waterfall you’ll see in every brochure, and you can’t leave Iceland without seeing it. If weather permits, walk the trail that takes you behind the waterfall, or seek out the secret Gljúfrabúi falls.

Today, experience the Golden Circle! First, view the Gullfoss waterfall, which thunders in two tiers. Move on to the Geysir geothermal area, where Strokkur, the fountain geyser, erupts every few minutes. Then, explore Thingvellir National Park and walk through the gorge. This evening, savour your last night with the group at the farewell dinner back in Reykjavík. Or, if you can’t say goodbye yet, extend your stay and book the optional Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour for the next day.

Take in the splendour of this two-tiered waterfall. The first drop is 11 metres, followed by a more dramatic 21-metre drop.

Here, amidst bubbling pools, the most well-known geyser, Strokkur, blasts boiling water into the air. You’ll also see the vividly blue Blesi spring and the now-dormant Great Geysir.

A filming location for the hit series Game of Thrones, this park is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the 1.3 km gorge, you’ll see “Law Rock”, where independence from Denmark was proclaimed in 1944. Your coach is waiting for you at the end of the walk.

Tonight, end the tour on a high note with your newfound friends. Exchange contact details and plan your next trip together before you go back home tomorrow, or get ready for one more day of Icelandic adventure tomorrow.

After breakfast, you’ll either conclude your magical tour of Iceland and make your way back home, or choose to add one more day to your trip and explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This is an optional excursion with an extra hotel night in Reykjavík. Make even more memories and discover a rare golden beach, walk along a cliff, and see the country’s most photographed mountain.

See the church at Búðakirkja, walk the black sands of Djúpalónssandur and visit Kirkjufell on this “mini Iceland” peninsula tour.

Full days, zero filler. Most mornings start with breakfast before heading out to the main sights with your Tour Leader or a local guide. Afternoons often include free time to wander, find a coffee or join an Optional Experience. Expect a good amount of walking too. On some days, you could spend two to three hours on your feet. Comfortable shoes are your best friend.
People from all over the world. Different ages, different backgrounds, same instinct to see more. Classic groups have on average between 35-45 Chasers. By day three, you’ll already know everyone's name.
Your accommodation, transport, Tour Leader and driver, breakfast most mornings, select lunches and dinners, and the Included Experiences on the tour page. Everything else is yours to choose. Check the individual tour page before you book for the exact inclusions.
Clean, comfortable and well located. Mostly 3 to 4 star, with private en-suite bathrooms. They're chosen so you can sleep well and feel ready for the next day. They're not the centrepiece. The destinations are. But they're never an afterthought.
All travellers carry their own bags, including up hotel stairs where needed. Walking tours can last up to three hours, and some sites involve a fair number of steps. Read through the itinerary to decide if the pace is right for you.
Optional Experiences happen during your tour's free-time slots, and your Tour Leader will tell you about what's on offer during the tour. Most can be booked on the day, but some are pre-sold and must be purchased before your tour begins, so it's worth checking the tour page beforehand to see what's available and get in touch with our team to book anything in advance.
Maximum value, not minimum comfort. Twenty-one years of supplier relationships mean we know where to find the best for less, and we pass that directly to you. Comfortable hotels, included meals and local experiences, without paying for the premium tier.
Yes. Free time is built into Classic itineraries, giving you space to wander and explore at your own pace. Your Tour Leader can point you towards the places worth your time, so you're never left completely to figure it out yourself.
Absolutely. Many Chasers travel solo, and there’s no compulsory single supplement when you travel with us. For accommodation, solo travellers share a twin room with another solo traveller of the same gender. If you’d prefer your own room, you can choose to pay a single supplement instead. Check the individual tour page for pricing.
You might arrive alone. You won't feel that way for long.
Yes. You don't need any previous group travel experience. Your Tour Leader is with you throughout, and you'll have a whole group of people discovering the destination alongside you. If you're not sure which Classic tour is right for you, we can help.
No. Flights aren't included, giving you flexibility over how you get there and when you travel. Your tour information will tell you where and when to meet the group on day one.
Yes. Travel insurance is a condition of booking. Your policy should cover the full duration of your trip, including medical expenses, cancellation and repatriation. Find out more about our travel insurance requirements here.
Our 10-Day Money-Back Guarantee gives you 10 days to decide after booking. Change your mind? Full refund, no questions asked.
After this point, your deposit is non-refundable. However, you can always change your tour or departure date free of charge, as many times as you like, up to 60 days before departure on Classic tours and up to 90 days before departure on Premium and Signature tours. Changes may incur an amendment fee. The current website price applies to any new tour or date.

Your Tour Leader is there to look after you during your tour. They know the places most people walk straight past, they'll have a restaurant recommendation ready before you've asked, and they'll sort anything that comes up along the way. All transport and accommodation are arranged for you.
You'll also have a 24-hour emergency contact number and our head office team.
Travel Chasers is a member of ABTA (No. Y6593) and ABTOT (No. 5517). Both organisations have codes of conduct and standards that members are required to meet, giving you an extra layer of confidence when you travel with us.
