First-time visitors to Iceland are always keen to see the Golden Circle region which encompasses three of the island’s best-known natural features – Thingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir. However, on this week-long itinerary you’ll also get to see two more of the breathtaking waterfalls for which this country is famed – Seljalandsfoss and the mighty Skogafoss.
Travel further east for a visit to Skaftafell, now part of Vatnajokull National Park, the largest national park in Europe. A short hike to Svartifoss, the ‘other-worldly’ waterfall backed by basalt columns, is recommended, as is a visit to the spectacular glacial lagoon at Jokulsarlon. Here you can sail to the edge of the glacier front in an iceberg studded lake. At Vik take a walk along the black sand beach and view the distinctive and much-photographed coastline.
