  • Take a taxi to 搁别测办箩补惫铆办鈥檚 small domestic airport and fly to Akureyri, the country鈥檚 鈥榮econd city鈥 in the north of Iceland. On arrival, you鈥檒l be met by your guide and transferred by private car to Lake M媒vatn. En route, you鈥檒l stop to admire Go冒afoss waterfall before exploring Lake M媒vatn鈥檚 highlights, including the lake鈥檚 curious pseudocraters and the bubbling mudpools at the Hverir Geothermal Area.

  • Join a local geologist for a privately guided hike in the nearby Krafla volcanic area. The Krafla fissures stretch for 90 km (56 miles) across north Iceland, and you鈥檒l learn more about the geological forces that have shaped this rugged region.

  • Continue your exploration of north Iceland with your private guide. Feel the spray of thundering Dettifoss waterfall 鈥 the largest in Europe 鈥 and take in sweeping views of 脕sbyrgi canyon, whose curious horseshoe shape was said to be created by Sleipnir, Norse god Odin鈥檚 eight-legged horse. You鈥檒l also have some time to explore the seaside town of H煤sav铆k and soak in the geothermal waters of Geosea baths, overlooking Skj谩lfandi Bay below and the Arctic Circle on the horizon. You鈥檒l then return to Akureyri, where your guide will help you check into your hotel.

  • Collect your hire car this morning and drive north from Akureyri along the Troll Peninsula. All insurances have been included, and a GPS navigation system can be added locally. Expect scenic fjord views as you drive along the coast. Along the way, stop at the small village of Hauganes and board a traditional Icelandic fishing boat for a trip out onto Eyjafj枚r冒ur. Search for humpback whales with your local guide and try your hand at angling for cod, which thrive in the fjord鈥檚 waters. From here, continue north to 厂颈驳濒耻蹿箩枚谤冒耻谤, your base for the next few days.

  • Spend a full day at leisure on the Troll Peninsula, taking in its rugged coastal scenery and laid-back pace of life. You might like to visit nearby Hofs贸s and its Emigration Museum, which chronicles the history of Icelandic migrants to North America, or you might like to take the ferry to Hr铆sey 鈥 one of the largest islands on Eyjafj枚r冒ur. We can also recommend the Herring Era Museum in 厂颈驳濒耻蹿箩枚谤冒耻谤 which recreates the town鈥檚 gold-rush atmosphere at the turn of the 20th century.

  • Drive back to Akureyri, returning your rental car to the airport and take a short flight south back to 搁别测办箩补惫铆办. On arrival, take a taxi to your hotel and spend the rest of your day at leisure exploring the capital鈥檚 highlights.

  • Your driver will be waiting to meet you at your hotel and transfer you to Keflav铆k airport in time for your onward flight.
