Day 1: Reykjavik -
Gullfoss/Geysir - Kirkjubaejarklaustur
Across
the mountains to
Hveragerdi to
Selfoss, or over Mosfellsheidi
plateau
to
Thingvellir National Park then to Gullfoss
waterfall, Geysir hot spring, and to one
of the country's most
important historic sites,
Skalholt near hamlet
Laugaras (other sights at the
Fludir and
Arnes/Thjorsardalur farmlands) and onwards to
until the first overnight, at
Hella, Hvolsvollur,
Skogafoss,
Vik or
Kirkjubaejarklaustur, is
reached.
Day 2: Kirkjubaejarklaustur - Hofn
After visiting the
Skaftafell National Park at the foot of the highest
peak of the country, the tour continues to the
Glacial Lagoon (possibly a glacier
tour from
Joklasel), and eventually to the next port of
call, the fishing town
Hofn,
Day 3: Hofn - Vik
It is ideal to visit a few places like
Nupsstadur,
Dverghamrar,
Hjorleifshofdi and
Kerlingardalur when
backtracking to
Vik, where an overnight is suggested,
or drive back to Reykjavik.
Day 4: Vik - Reykjavik
It is impossible to pass the imposing waterfall
Skogafoss and the remarkable
Skogar Museum and the
swimming pool at Seljavellir is tempting on our way
to the waterfall
Seljalandsfoss. Then we continue to the town
Selfoss and drop in at
Eyrarbakki and Stokkseyri before returning
passing Threngslin
plateau
to
Reykjavik.
