In the southwest of Iceland near Faxaflói Bay lies the capital of the country, Reykjavík, simultaneously cosmopolitan and charming.

Kaleidoscopic views await you at the Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering, glass structure that perfectly exemplifies Iceland’s modern design and will fascinate your inner architect.

Depart: 6:00 PM

The village center of Sauðárkrókur is quite charming, with a small collection of distinctive, traditional buildings. Located in a fertile valley along the southwestern shore of Skagafjörður – where you’ll find large, glacial rivers – it calls out to the spirit of exploration. It’s also a gateway to Malmey Island, Drangey Island, and Lundey Island (or Puffin Island). For a more in-depth view of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that was born in this remote location, visit the Minjahúsið Folk Museum. If you’re interested in birdwatching, head to the southern shores of Áshildarholtsvatn Lake. The locals frequently update information boards with the species currently hanging around the area.

Arrival: 8:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 PM

The town of Húsavík sits on the eastern shore of Skjálfandi Bay, known around the world as the Whale Capital of Iceland. Skjálfandi Bay also offers incredible bird-watching opportunities. There you can observe an Atlantic puffin colony where thousands of these charming “clowns of the ocean” nest during the summer. Take the illustrious Arctic Coast route that winds through the incredible fjords along Iceland’s northern coastline. Unwind with a dip in the geothermal waters of the GeoSea Spa.l.

Depart: 6:00 PM

You will be awestruck by the untouched beauty of nature and warmed by the culture of the small town of Vopnafjörður. If you promise to resist the temptation of taking a stone, be sure to visit Skjólfjörur Beach, with a rocky shore of colorful stones that captures the eye. Fish in the same salmon-rich rivers that the Prince of Wales and the late President George Bush frequented. For a truly local experience, seek out the remote riverside swimming pool Selárdalslaug. Vopnafjörður is also the gateway to the Blue Mountains, otherwise known as Bláfjöll, home to the most popular skiing slopes in Iceland.

Arrival: 8:00 AM
Depart: 5:00 PM

Although remote and small – with only about 400 people living there – you still find the village of Djúpivogur lively with cafés, restaurants, and shops. Explore the cultural center with exhibits of incredible sculptures, local craftspeople with studios, and quirky outdoor galleries. Dominating the landscape is the pyramid-shaped peak of Búlandstindur, one of the most beautiful mountains in Iceland. For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, make your way to the uninhabited island of Papey, just off the coast of Djúpivogur.

Arrival: 9:00 AM
Depart: 7:00 PM

Say halló to volcanoes, lava fields, caves, and mountains on the fascinating island of Heimaey – literally translated as Home Island. Part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago (Westman Islands), this destination offers views of lush cliffsides and classic Icelandic architecture that will take your breath away. Built around the remains of an excavated home buried by ash during Eldfell’s eruption you’ll find the Eldheimar Museum, which offers an excellent audio guide that takes you through the home and describes the history and events before, during, and after the eruption. One of the most iconic landmarks of Vestmannaeyjar, Elephant Rock, lies just off the south coast of Iceland. And there’s no need to squint to see it because, from every angle, you can see a gargantuan elephant in the middle of the sea.
