Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Circle Iceland in a Small Group, linking glaciers, geothermal bathing and working farms with fishing towns and small harbors.

Along the way, call at an Icelandic wool factory, a dairy and equine farm, tomato greenhouses and a farm baking rye bread in hot springs, combining recognized natural landmarks with everyday places where people work with ice, heat and the North Atlantic.

Day
1The Smoky Bay of Reykjavík
Arrive in Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital on the edge of Faxaflói Bay. The city runs on geothermal heat and hot water, and its skyline mixes low-rise streets with landmark buildings such as Hallgrímskirkja and Harpa Concert Hall. This evening, you’ll meet your Travel Director and your small group for small bites. If time allows beforehand, you could take a short walk along Laugavegur for cafes and design shops, or follow the waterfront paths by the Old Harbor.
Accommodations: Radisson RED -
Day
2Hot Springs, Waterfalls and Tomatoes
Start with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at a local tomato farm, where geothermal heat supports year-round greenhouse growing. See how tomatoes are cultivated under artificial light through Iceland’s long winter darkness, then taste the crop on site. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area to witness erupting hot springs, followed by Gullfoss, where glacial water plunges in two stages into a rugged canyon. The afternoon opens out across South Iceland, a region linked to Njál’s Saga and marked by wide plains, farms and volcanic ridgelines. In clear weather, Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull rise on the horizon, and at times the Westman Islands appear offshore. Later, visit the Lava Center in Hvolsvöllur to explore interactive exhibits on Iceland’s tectonic forces before joining your small group for dinner at your hotel.

3By Glaciers and Icebergs
Spend the day along Iceland’s south coast, pausing at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, two waterfalls where rivers plunge from the highlands towards the Atlantic. Continue to Vík for a visit to Víkurfjara Black Sand Beach that highlights the island’s volcanic origins, then travel into the Skaftafell area of Vatnajökull National Park, with views towards Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest ice cap. Later, stop at Diamond Beach, where ice from the glacier lagoon washes up on the black sand, before arriving at Jökulsárlón to watch icebergs drift from the glacier towards the sea. Here, you may choose to join an Optional Experience: an amphibian boat tour on the lagoon. Your day concludes at your Fosshotel, with dinner shared with your small group.

4Eastern Fjords
Arrive in Höfn, a small harbor town known for its fishing heritage and views back towards Vatnajökull. Enjoy some free time to walk the harbourfront, look in on the quayside or pause in a cafe. Continue through the Eastfjords, where steep mountains and narrow inlets frame small fishing villages. In clear weather, you may spot low-lying Papey Island offshore. In Breiðdalsvík, you may choose to join an Optional Experience at Beljandi Brewery, a microbrewery set in a former fish plant, before traveling on to Fáskrúðsfjörður. The village served as a base for French fishing fleets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and former French hospital buildings, a small cemetery and bilingual street signs still reflect that history. This evening, join your small group for dinner at your hotel.

5By Desert, Lakes and Divine Waterfalls to Akureyri
Cross the interior via Möðrudalur, one of Iceland’s highest settled farms, and pause at the Herðubreið viewpoint to see this flat-topped volcano rising from old lava fields. Continue to Lake Mývatn, with time to explore features such as the lava formations at Dimmuborgir or the sulfur fields and steaming vents around Námaskarð. Travel on to Húsavík to relax at GeoSea Baths, where warm geothermal seawater pools look across Skjálfandi Bay in the afternoon light. Later, stop at Goðafoss waterfall before reaching Akureyri.

Call at Holabak dairy and equine farm to see how milk production sits alongside Icelandic horse breeding, a protected native breed that has remained pure for over a thousand years.
