A trip to Iceland isn't complete without stopping for a traditional lunch at one of the many cozy restaurants here.
Then, at night, we will watch the sky and wait for the graceful Aurora Borealis to make her appearance.
Day 3: South Iceland
Today's biggest adventure begins in the south of Iceland, where we will see signs of some of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, including Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and some black sand beaches along the way. During our drive, take in the scenery of mountains and waterfalls, and possibly experience rain, sun, and a lot of wind all throughout.

At night, capping off the whole day, we wait once again for the Aurora Borealis, and we will do so every single night together.

Experience an amazing up-close meeting of the glaciers as we take a lagoon boat ride. On this adventure, witness the grandeur of Icelandic landscapes as we sail among the huge icebergs and picturesque ice caves. Then, we will also take a tour of the famous ice beach on the black sand.
After the morning excursion, we will have the entire day to explore the vicinity at our leisure.
Day 05: East Iceland
We are leaving the south of Iceland today and driving to the east, where we will see fjords, mountains, and a variety of bodies of water. We will keep driving away from civilization so that we can get a more real and in-depth look at this land of fire and ice. Upon arrival, you are free to do as you please. Explore the charming fishing village where we will spend the night at your own leisure.
Day 06: North Iceland

On this adventure, explore the unspoiled landscapes and take in the pristine sights of Dimmuborgir lava formations, Krafla volcano, Mývatn geothermal area, and a few of the locations used in the filming of Game of Thrones. Then, as night falls, we'll keep looking for the Aurora Borealis to capture some truly breathtaking images of this mystical phenomenon.

This day is filled with unique experiences as we explore Husavik, the Whale Capital of Iceland. Here, witness dolphins, minke, humpbacks, and even blue whales play in the vastness of blue waters for a once-in-a-lifetime whale-watching experience! Now, while this is an exciting and enjoyable activity for everyone, it is always recommended to take medication if you are prone to seasickness.
After that, spend the rest of the day at your leisure. Then, at night, we'll catch the northern lights again and bask in their splendor before calling it a night.
