So that we can offer you the best deals, our packages are, like most hotels and cruises, priced based on double occupancy rooms or cabins. We charge solo travelers an extra fee to cover the extra costs of single occupancy rooms or cabins. (Consider: if you booked a $200/night hotel room solo, you would pay the $200 yourself; but if a couple booked the same room, each one would pay only $100.) But you only pay extra for the rooms or cabins, nothing else, including meals, sightseeing, tips, etc. Why are single rooms more?

A rugged mountain chain runs its length, capped by the 4700 ft Snæfellsjökull glacier, a mystical cone-shaped stratovolcano. Enjoy a fish lunch at a local restaurant in Snæfellsnes. 

Visit the small fishing village of Grundarfjörður, with its impressive coastline and mountains, lakes, and waterfalls as its backdrop. However, its most notable site is Mt.

Full Day Itinerary
Gullfoss waterfalls

After breakfast, travel along the Hvalfjörður fjord.

First, stop to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Þingvellir National Park, where the ancient Vikings had a parliament, making it one of the oldest parliaments in the world. Equally as intriguing, Þingvellir plain sits on a tectonic plate boundary where North America and Europe are slowly tearing away. As a result, the plain is scarred by dramatic fissures, ponds, and rivers, including the great rift Almannagjá.

Stop at Restaurant Geysir, where the chef invites you to taste freshly baked hot spring bread served with Icelandic butter, boiled eggs, and herring.

Continue your journey to Gullfoss waterfalls in the canyon along the Hvítá river. Gullfoss means "Golden Falls," which comes from the golden hue often shining in its glacial waters. Later, explore Strokkur Geysir, known as "the churn," a fountain-type geyser that spouts up to 66 ft every five to ten minutes.

Learn about Iceland's most important geothermal energy use when visiting a geothermal greenhouse. Next, enjoy an up-close look at Icelandic horses. These unique, easy-going animals are ancestors of the first Viking horses and are well known for their convenient pony size, muscular build, and fifth gait (way of walking), whereas most horses only have 3-4 gaits.

Continue to Hella in search of the elusive Northern Lights in the peace and stillness of rural Iceland.
