Explore the wonders of Southern Iceland with a thrilling, adventure-packed experience that is second to none. With a five-night stay for eight people in a private 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom lakefront villa, you’ll bask in unparalleled views each day.
During your trip, you will embark on a private glacier hiking excursion, where an expert guide will navigate your group through Sólheimajökull Glacier. Supplied with a helmet, crampons, and an ice axe, you’ll be taught how to walk safely on the ice prior to taking a short walk up to the glacier. For an hour and a half, you’ll explore Sólheimajökull Glacier’s surreal surroundings of blue ice, crevasses, and ice formations, and you’ll be amazed by the intricate ice-carved labyrinths and bridges created naturally by streams and waterfalls. With this glacier walk being perfect for all levels of activity, you will be able to enjoy the glacier’s ever-changing terrain while learning about its history and features.
With the glacier hike in your back pocket, you’ll have the opportunity to visit three of Iceland’s most well-known sights in a private full-day tour of the Golden Circle: Geysir, Gullfoss, and Thingvellir. Considered the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, Gullfoss is abundant with meltwater from Iceland’s second largest glacier, Langjökull, while Geysir’s geothermal area is recognized for its stunning springs. The main attraction, Strokkur Geyser, is certain to amaze as you can experience an eruption every few minutes. Last but not least, Thingvellir National Park will be your final stop, rich with incredible history and geology as it is the only place on Earth where two different tectonic plates from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are viewed above ground and not under the ocean – a rare yet spectacular sight.
After partaking in such exciting excursions, you’ll be treated to delectable cuisine with a reservation at one of Iceland’s most renowned and picturesque restaurants, Ingolfsskali Viking Restaurant. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to taste delicious traditional dishes paired with a complimentary bottle of wine, immersing yourself into the culinary culture of Iceland. With your five-night stay coming to a close, your check-out will be made seamless with the complimentary cleaning of your villa, allowing you to revel in your experience for every last moment. You’ll be able to cherish unforgettable Icelandic memories for a lifetime to come.
