Iceland · 7 Days / 6 Nights · Self-Drive
Focus on Iceland's south coast and Golden Circle in winter. Shorter driving distances, northern lights every evening and the chance to explore ice caves at Vatnajökull glacier.
Arrive at Keflavík airport and pick up your vehicle. Drive to Reykjavik and settle in. First evening aurora hunt from the city outskirts.
Drive the Golden Circle visiting Þingvellir National Park, the erupting Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall — stunning with winter ice formations.
Drive the south coast visiting Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls draped in ice. The winter light creates magical conditions for photography.
Explore Reynisfjara black sand beach and the Dyrhólaey promontory with panoramic views of the coast. The dramatic basalt columns and crashing winter waves make for an unforgettable scene.
Glacier hike at Skaftafell with a certified guide. In the afternoon, explore an ice cave inside Vatnajökull glacier — crystal blue walls of ancient ice, only accessible in winter.
Visit Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach where translucent icebergs wash ashore on black sand. Begin the return drive towards Reykjavik with a final evening aurora hunt.
Drop off your vehicle and depart Iceland. Trip ends.
