For a long time, the standard way to see Iceland has been a rushed, week-long dash around the Ring Road, forcing travelers into grueling 6-to-8-hour driving days.
We don't travel that way.
In early August, bookings will open for a custom, private group journey designed to maximize our time outside the bus. We’ll explore the very best of Iceland’s volcanic beaches, massive glaciers, and dramatic western peninsulas.
I am aiming for 2 departures, the first on July 25, 2027 and the second on August 2, 2027. Both will be 7 nights. Pricing will be finalized soon, but it should come in just under $5,000 per person (twin share basis).
📍 Route & Sightseeing Highlights:
- The Golden Circle: Thingvellir National Park, Strokkur Geysir, and Gullfoss Waterfall.
- South Coast Wonders: Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfall cleft, and the moss-covered cliffs of Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon.
