  • Iceland is stunning—but experiencing it like this? Next level. This exclusive week-long Ring Road tour takes us from the famous Blue Lagoon to glacier-covered volcanoes, black sand beaches, and secret fjords. We’ll kayak past drifting icebergs, trek across an ancient glacier, and relax in geothermal waters that feel straight out of a dream. With private transfers, luxury hotels, and unforgettable adventures, this is Iceland at its finest—wild, dramatic, and effortlessly elegant.

    • Our journey begins with a private pick-up at Keflavík International Airport, followed by a scenic drive to the world-famous Blue Lagoon. We’ll relax in the warm, mineral-rich waters while enjoying the rejuvenating effects of silica mud masks. After a delightful lunch (at your own expense) at the Lagoon’s Lava Restaurant, we’ll continue to Reykjavik for a private city tour covering its most iconic landmarks, such as Hallgrímskirkja and Harpa Concert Hall. The day ends with a gourmet dinner at one of Reykjavik’s top restaurants (at your own expense) and an optional evening stroll along the old harbor.
