Overview
About this journey
Iceland in Motion follows the Ring Road around the island, staying two nights in several places so the pace never feels rushed. The south coast brings black-sand beaches and glacier lagoons; the east, quiet fjords; and the north, whales, volcanic craters and the geothermal pools of Mývatn.
Short walks lead to waterfalls, canyons and viewpoints, and there is time for a glacier hike, a whale-watching trip and plenty of hot springs. September departures offer the first chance of seeing the northern lights.
Highlights
Guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull
Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach
Whale watching from Húsavík
