7 Days in Iceland: Waterfalls, Glaciers & Northern Lights

A Journey Through Fire, Ice, and Dancing Skies

Discover the raw beauty of Iceland in this unforgettable 7-day adventure. From cascading waterfalls to mighty glaciers, black sand beaches to steaming hot springs — and of course, the magical Northern Lights — this trip captures the very soul of the Land of Fire and Ice.

Day 1 – Arrival in Reykjavik

Arrive in Iceland’s charming capital, Reykjavik. Explore colorful streets, visit the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church, and enjoy your first taste of Icelandic cuisine.
Day 2 – Golden Circle Wonders

Experience Iceland’s most famous route — marvel at the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, watch geysers erupt at Geysir Geothermal Area, and walk between continents at Thingvellir National Park.

Day 3 – South Coast Waterfalls & Black Sand Beaches

Chase waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss before stepping onto the dramatic Reynisfjara black sand beach, famous for its basalt columns and roaring Atlantic waves.

Day 4 – Vatnajökull Glacier & Jökulsárlón Lagoon
Journey east to Europe’s largest glacier. Take a glacier hike or ice cave tour, then witness floating icebergs at the breathtaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

Day 5 – East Fjords Exploration
Drive through winding coastal roads, fishing villages, and dramatic fjords. Spot wild reindeer and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Iceland’s less-traveled side.

Day 6 – North Iceland & Akureyri
Head north to Akureyri, Iceland’s charming “Capital of the North.” Discover geothermal baths, volcanic landscapes, and, if the season allows, chase the shimmering Northern Lights.

Day 7 – Blue Lagoon & Farewell

Relax in the milky-blue waters of the world-famous Blue Lagoon before your flight home — the perfect ending to a week of Icelandic wonders.
