About this Jrny

Iceland feels like a place that shouldn't exist. Waterfalls crash off ancient cliffs, glaciers meet black sand beaches, volcanoes shape the landscape, and if you're lucky, the sky puts on its own light show. We kick things off in Reykjavík before heading out to chase the magic—starting with the Northern Lights, because why not begin with one of nature's greatest spectacles?

The days that follow are nothing short of unreal. Walk behind roaring waterfalls, stand on the dramatic black sands of Reynisfjara, cruise past floating icebergs at Jökulsárlón, and step inside a glowing blue ice cave that looks like it's straight out of another world.

Then it's time for Iceland's greatest hits. The Golden Circle brings exploding geysers, powerful waterfalls and the historic landscapes of Þingvellir, with an optional soak in the Secret Lagoon to warm up the Icelandic way. Venture into the wild beauty of West Iceland to discover bubbling hot springs, lava waterfalls and the iconic peaks and coastlines of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We wrap it all up back in Reykjavík, carrying home full camera rolls, frozen fingers, and stories you'll be telling for years!

This trip is pure Iceland — equal parts fire, ice, and magic... led by Monkey Inc. Come ready to chase waterfalls, hunt the Northern Lights, walk on black sand beaches, and embrace the wild, because Iceland isn’t just a destination; it’s a whole mood.

Sun 22 Nov

The Majestic South Coast

Today is all about Iceland showing off. Hit the road along the legendary South Coast, where every bend somehow tops the last. Walk behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss, stand in awe of the sheer force of Skógafoss, and let the spray remind you just how wild this place really is.

Then comes Reynisfjara... jet-black sand, towering basalt columns, crashing Atlantic waves, and sea stacks that look like they've been pulled straight out of a fantasy film. It's dramatic, moody, and ridiculously photogenic.

By evening, roll into the little village of Vík, surrounded by cliffs and endless coastline. Settle in, look up, and keep your fingers crossed. If Iceland decides to put on a show tonight, you might just catch the Northern Lights dancing overhead. And trust us, that's a moment you'll never forget.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Glacier Lagoon

Wake up to one of Iceland's biggest wow moments. First stop: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where giant blue icebergs drift silently across glassy waters like they're in no hurry at all. Just across the road, Diamond Beach sparkles with chunks of crystal-clear ice scattered across black volcanic sand. It honestly doesn't look real.

Then it gets even better! Step inside a glowing blue ice cave, where every wall, curve, and crack has been carved by nature over thousands of years. It's quiet, surreal, and unlike anything you've ever seen. By evening, make your way back through Iceland's wild South Coast, where the landscapes somehow still manage to surprise you. And if the skies decide to cooperate one more time, you might just end the day beneath another unforgettable Northern Lights display.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Activities

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

09:00 - 11:30

This otherworldly glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland is dotted with luminous blue icebergs drifting from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. Seals, seabirds, and surreal reflections make it a must-see stop along the country’s south coast.

Diamond Beach

11:30 - 14:00

Diamond Beach is a striking black sand beach where icebergs from the nearby Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon wash ashore, glistening like diamonds.

Tue 24 Nov

The Golden Circle

Today is Iceland's greatest hits. And yes, it lives up to the hype! Hit the Golden Circle and watch nature do what it does best. Feel the thunder of Gullfoss as glacial water crashes into a deep canyon, then head to the Geysir geothermal area, where the earth hisses, steams, bubbles—and every few minutes, erupts into the sky.

Next up is Þingvellir National Park, where you can literally stand between two continents. It's one of those places that makes you stop for a second and think, this planet is pretty incredible. Need to warm up? Slip into the Secret Lagoon, where naturally heated mineral waters and drifting steam make the cold completely worth it. (Trust us, this one's hard to leave.)

End the day surrounded by Iceland's quiet countryside, where the landscapes are endless, the air is crisp, and tomorrow somehow promises even more.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Activities

Gullfoss Waterfall

09:00 - 12:00

Gullfoss Waterfall is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders, featuring a dramatic two-tiered cascade plunging into a rugged canyon. The powerful flow creates misty rainbows on sunny days, adding to its majestic beauty. Easily accessible and awe-inspiring, it’s a must-see on the Golden Circle route.

Explore Geysir Geothermal Area

12:00 - 13:00

Explore the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and active geysers. Witness the dramatic eruptions of Strokkur, which shoots boiling water high into the air every few minutes.

Secret Lagoon

17:00 - 18:30

Secret Lagoon (known locally as Gamla Laugin) is Iceland's oldest geothermal swimming pool, dating back to 1891. Located in the charming village of Flúðir, it offers a more natural and rustic alternative to the Blue Lagoon, with warm mineral-rich waters maintained at 38–40°C throughout the year. Surrounded by steaming hot springs, bubbling geothermal vents, and a small geyser that erupts every few minutes, the lagoon provides a relaxing soak in an authentic Icelandic setting.

Wed 25 Nov

West Iceland & Snæfellsnes

Today feels like driving through another planet. Head into the beautiful Borgarfjörður region, where the earth quite literally comes alive. Watch steam billow from Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, and feel the heat rising straight from beneath your feet.

Then it's on to Hraunfossar, where crystal-clear water seems to appear out of nowhere, weaving its way through ancient lava fields. Just around the corner, Barnafoss crashes through a narrow canyon with stories and legends as wild as the landscape itself.

And just when you think Iceland can't surprise you anymore, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula arrives. Volcanic peaks, dramatic coastlines, black lava fields, towering cliffs—it's everything you imagined Iceland would be, and then some. By the end of the day, you'll probably have run out of camera storage... but definitely not reasons to say, "How is this place even real?"

Thu 26 Nov

Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Today is proof that Iceland doesn't believe in picking just one landscape. Welcome to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula—where glaciers, volcanoes, black beaches, fishing villages, and dramatic coastlines somehow all exist in one place. First up, the iconic Kirkjufell. You've definitely seen it in photos... but nothing prepares you for seeing it in real life.

Then wander across the black pebbles of Djúpalónssandur, where the wild Atlantic crashes against the shore and the remains of old shipwrecks quietly tell stories from another time. Slow things down in the postcard-perfect villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar, linked by rugged sea cliffs, basalt formations, and ocean views that never get old.

Round it all off in Snæfellsjökull National Park, where a glacier-capped volcano watches over lava fields and one of Iceland's most dramatic coastlines. This is the kind of day that has you saying, "Surely it can't get better than this..." And somehow, Iceland still finds a way.
