A 10 day self drive tour of Iceland.
Welcome to Iceland, welcome to the home of some of the worlds best natural wonders
On this self drive tour you will experience something totally different, something totally amazing and something you will totally want to tell all your friends, family and anyone else that knows you all about.
Drive through the most dramatic landscapes carved by thousands of years of volcanic activity.
Now thats a drive
If its thundering waterfalls, bubbling hot springs and mystic mountains that you want, then Iceland is the destination for you.
After a quick 3 hour flight you will start your tour in the capital, Reykjavik.
Monument
Typical street scene in Reykjavik
Spend the first two nights getting to know the capital. Your home will be the 4 star Hotel Reykjavik Natura. This stunning hotel is located in one of the greenest parts of the city, where you can take advantage of its excellent position.
How about a stroll into town or a brisk walk along the sea front, or if you prefer something more relaxing what about a swim in the indoor geothermal heated pool and hot tub.
The Blue Lagoon
With your free day in Reykjavik you will get the chance to gaze at the oldest architectural remains in Iceland, dating back to 870 AD. Or, visit the volcano house, this is one of the most popular attractions in Iceland and will give you a chance to learn about everything volcanic, their films arent bad either.
Colourful houses
The church of Hallgrimur is also worth a visit, perched on top of the hill you can see if from almost anywhere. This city is great to just wonder, stop for a coffee and take in the different views that await you round every corner.
After a fun couple of days in the capital its time to hit the road.
Driving Iceland
Your first drive is an easy one, with just 64 miles to your next destination.
Your second stop is in the charming village of Fludir, with its rolling hills, streams geothermal springs and many greenhouses.
Around Fludir
The 4 star Hotel Fludir is one of the most popular hotels in Southern Iceland. After a day exploring the Golden Circle, a visit to one of the greenhouses, riding an Icelandic pony or fishing for salmon. Spend the evening in the heated hot tub, or cozy up by the fire watching the northern lights or midnight sun. Staying at the Hotel Fludir is not your typical hotel stay, but a night to remember.
