Top 5 4-Day Experiences in Iceland

1.4 Day Blue Ice Cave, South Coast, Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes & Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,523Our pick

Over four days, a guide takes you from Reykjavík to Snæfellsnes, the Golden Circle and the South Coast, with a glacier hike, blue ice cave visit and three nights of accommodation. Groups are capped at 18, breakfast is included, and northern lights viewing is possible but not guaranteed. Guides named in past trips include Siggy, Gummi, Jon, Thales and João.

“This was an excellent tour and well worth it. Thales was the best tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about Iceland and nature, cared about his job, and added extra stops including a waterfall we hiked to and behind. Iceland is beautiful, dramatic and unique, and this tour allows you to enjoy the best of the country. The hotels in the small towns were adequate, and the one in the city was really nice. Each had great breakfasts and food. The Northern Lights is on your own, but our guide gave us tips on where to go and forecast info. Highly recommend booking a separate lights tour from the city.”

2.4-Day Iceland: Golden Circle, South Coast, Volcano Hike & Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,349

Travel from Reykjavík on a small-group winter tour with transport, three nights of accommodation, and breakfast included. Visit Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, South Coast waterfalls and beaches, hike Vatnajökull Glacier, and explore Geldingadalir Volcano. A final Northern Lights outing is planned, but sightings and outdoor activities depend on weather.

“Our 4d3n land tour for our family of 6 (with 2 teenagers) was well-organized including online messages were promptly received within couple of hours with Arctic Adventures when we had queries. We left a little disappointed because we could not find the auroras during the northern night tour. Planners should leave a few days later because it could be rescheduled for the following day if the northern light hunt was unsuccessful. Iceland has nature at vast display. So many wows here and it is unforgettable. Some of our best memories are from Iceland. Thank you All.”
