3-Day Iceland in a Nutshell Tour

At 8:30am placed at the BSI Bus Terminal starts your guided trip to Iceland. A unique country that offers the most breathtaking and contrast-filled landscapes with active volcanoes, bizarre-looking rock formations, majestic green mountains, amazing waterfalls, deep fjords and stunning glaciers. It's no wonder it attracts the best photographers from around the world.
In just three days you will visit the Reykjanes Peninsula, the South Coast, the Golden Circle, Borgarfjörður Valley in West Iceland and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Explore different hot springs, waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, mountains and fjords. Expect lonely lava plains, steaming hill rocks, spurting geysers, black sand beaches and sites where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates collide. Travel to fishing villages, visit local family and horse farm, view glaciers, go bird watching and get a quick peek into some of Iceland's highlights and beautiful scenery. When you plan to visit Iceland between May and August, the sun barely sets and in September there is a chance to see the Northern Lights.
Total traveling distance in 3 days is about 1,100 km (682 miles), which is an average of 367 km (228 miles) per day.
