Iceland’s Treasures: An Exclusive Small-Group Journey Through Nature, Culture, and Comfort – April 2026
Day One: Arrival & A Toast to the Adventure Ahead
Your Icelandic experience begins with a seamless arrival at Keflavik International Airport. A private driver welcomes you with warm hospitality and swift transport to the heart of Reykjavík, where you check in at the elegant Hotel Reykjavík Saga.
Set in the cultural core of the capital, this superior hotel offers refined comfort and easy access to Reykjavík’s quaint streets and sophisticated boutiques. After an afternoon at leisure, you’ll gather with your fellow travellers for a welcome dinner in the city centre—a culinary introduction to Iceland’s extraordinary gastronomy, served in a private and intimate setting.

Day Two: Reykjavík at Leisure, Molten Lava Magic & Northern Lights by Private Yacht
The morning is yours to explore Reykjavík at your own pace. Wander to the foot of Hallgrímskirkja, browse Icelandic design in Laugavegur’s artisan shops, or enjoy coffee in a cosy café while watching the capital’s peaceful rhythm unfold.
In the afternoon, the group convenes for the Icelandic Lava Show—an awe-inspiring, premium experience that brings real lava to life. Witness molten lava cascade over ice, recreating the primal moments that shaped this volcanic island.
As the evening falls, you’ll board a privately chartered vessel in Faxaflói Bay, gliding silently under the Arctic night sky in search of the Northern Lights. A stop at Viðey Island brings a special treat: an exclusive dinner inside one of Reykjavík’s oldest houses. This rare, candlelit evening captures Iceland’s magic in its purest form.

Day Three: The Icelandic Horse, Nobel Legacy & the Spirit of Thingvellir
Your day begins with an optional private ride on the famed Icelandic horse—known for its unique tölt gait and gentle spirit. Even novice riders find joy in gliding through open terrain on this storied breed. Alternatively, guests can relax at the hotel or meet the group later for lunch.
From equine heritage to literary prestige, your next destination is Gljúfrasteinn, the home of Iceland’s Nobel laureate Halldór Laxness. The private visit unveils the intellect and inspiration behind one of the nation’s greatest writers.
The journey continues to Thingvellir National Park, a place of profound historical and geological significance. Set between two tectonic plates, it is both the cradle of Icelandic democracy and a marvel of natural wonder. The day concludes at Laugarvatn Fontana, where guests dig warm rye bread from the geothermal earth—a rustic yet luxurious touch to the day’s discoveries.
Evening check-in at Hotel Geysir promises comfort, tranquility, and a delightful group dinner.
Luxury Highlights: Private horseback riding, exclusive museum access, UNESCO heritage site, geothermal bread baking experience, deluxe rooms at Hotel Geysir
Day Four: Glaciers, Geysers & Dinner Among Tomatoes
The Golden Circle unveils its iconic sights today. Watch Strokkur erupt skyward in steaming blasts, then marvel at Gullfoss, Iceland’s most beloved waterfall, where glacier-fed waters plunge into a dramatic canyon.
But the true thrill of the day lies atop Langjökull Glacier. Here, you’ll board snowmobiles for an adrenaline-fueled adventure across a frozen world few have the privilege to witness.
As dusk falls, a truly unique dining experience awaits at Friðheimar, a geothermal greenhouse farm. Amid rows of ripening tomatoes, you’ll enjoy a private dinner paired with the freshest ingredients Iceland can offer—a culinary gem that embodies sustainability, warmth, and innovation.

Day Five: South Coast Waterfalls & Icelandic Beer Tasting in Ancient Caves
Today you trace the stunning southern coastline, a region rich in elemental drama. At Seljalandsfoss, water cascades over a 60-meter drop, with a secret path allowing visitors to walk behind the curtain of water. Nearby, Skógafoss thunders majestically, often crowned with vivid rainbows.
In the village of Hella, you descend into mysterious man-made caves—ancient, earthen chambers believed to predate Viking settlement. Here, enjoy a private beer tasting featuring Icelandic craft brews and traditional bites, blending heritage with indulgence in an unforgettable setting.
From there, you journey to the Blue Lagoon’s Retreat Hotel – your sanctuary for the next two nights. The Moss Junior Suites promise understated opulence and direct access to one of the world’s most celebrated geothermal havens.

The rest of the day is reserved for restoration at the Retreat Spa. Here, time slows as you indulge in the signature Blue Lagoon Ritual: nourishing silica, revitalizing algae, and mineral-rich geothermal water – all within the sanctuary of your private lagoon. It’s more than a spa visit – it’s a spiritual reawakening.
In the evening, the journey reaches its culinary pinnacle with a farewell dinner at the acclaimed Moss Restaurant. Michelin-starred and exceptional in every sense, Moss crafts exquisite dishes from Iceland’s land and sea, paired perfectly with wines selected to enhance every bite.

Though your Icelandic journey ends today, its impressions – etched in glacier, fire, and starlight – will linger. The Northern Lights dancing above the Arctic sea, the warmth of geothermal waters, the taste of fresh rye bread pulled from volcanic sand- these moments are the treasures you carry home.
