Day 1: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS in KEFLAVIK
Upon arrival to the Keflavik Airport, clear customs and meet our driver and take you to our hotel in Reykjavik. Your room will be ready, allowing you to have breakfast and rest after your early morning arrival in Iceland.
Now Journey Style of Travel: Discovery Walk & Special Welcome
Later today, our Discovery Walk, a signature of Now Journey, will commence with a brief orientation with your Tour Captain to acquaint you with the destination, distinct from the immersive Sightseeing Tour that follows. We will enjoy exploring downtown Reykjavik after our exhilarating 1-hour Heli-Happy Hour Helicopter flight, landing on a glacier for a champagne toast.
Welcome Dinner
Now Journey dinners are more like dining "events" featuring all inclusive premium beverages and ordering from the menu. Tonight, we introduce you to Icelandic cuisine.
NOW JOURNEY'S DINING CONCEPT: THE CUISINE OF ICELAND
Dining in Iceland is guided by nature itself. Pure waters, volcanic soil, and centuries-old traditions shape a cuisine that is clean, honest, and deeply connected to place.
Now Journey features locally owned kitchens and farm-to-table dining, where chefs showcase Iceland’s finest ingredients — pristine seafood, grass-fed lamb, and greenhouse-grown produce nurtured by geothermal heat. Meals include premium beverages, and you’re free to choose from the menu.
Each dish reflects Iceland’s quiet elegance: simple, sustainable, and unforgettable.

Day 2: THORSMORK - HOTEL GEYSIR
Today's Adventure: Private Super Jeep Tour
After a morning pick-up, your private Jeep adventure begins as you journey toward Grindavík, a traditional fishing village perched along Iceland’s dramatic southern coast. From here, the landscape softens briefly into agricultural lowlands before transforming once again into something far more untamed.
Your route brings you to two of Iceland’s most enchanting waterfalls—Seljalandsfoss, where water ribbons down from ancient cliffs, and the hidden canyon falls of Gljúfrabúi, tucked just out of sight and well worth the short walk. These final touches of “civilization” fade quickly as the road narrows, rivers remain unbridged, and the Highlands open before you.
By late morning, you arrive in Þórsmörk, today’s main destination—an otherworldly valley cradled between glaciers, named for the Norse god Thor. Lunch is provided here, surrounded by moss-covered slopes, braided rivers, and towering ice-capped peaks. Afterward, enjoy guided hikes tailored to the group, offering intimate access to one of Iceland’s most pristine natural sanctuaries.
On the return, the adventure concludes with a visit to Geysir, the legendary geothermal area that lent its name to geysers worldwide—a fitting finale as steam rises from the earth and boiling water bursts skyward.
A day defined by raw beauty, off-road discovery, and the quiet thrill of reaching places few ever see.
Tonight, join the Tour Captain to explore for an optional dinner or explore at your leisure.

Day 3: GLACIER, LANGJOKULL - SNOWMOBILE
Today's Adventure: Into the Highlands & Glacier Snowmobiling
After breakfast, it’s time to pack up and check out as your journey continues north through Iceland’s ever-changing landscapes. With your guide leading the way, the first stop is Gullfoss, the mighty “Golden Waterfall,” where glacial waters thunder into a dramatic canyon—one of Iceland’s most powerful and unforgettable sights.
From here, the road turns inward and upward as you leave the lowlands behind and venture into the Highlands, a vast and elemental region shaped by ice, wind, and time. On the eastern side of the glacier, you’ll suit up for a true Arctic experience: an hour-long snowmobile adventure across the glacier itself.
Each guest rides their own snowmobile, gliding over endless fields of snow and ice with sweeping views that stretch to the horizon. The sensation is pure exhilaration—speed, silence, and scale coming together atop one of Iceland’s great natural giants.
A day that shifts from roaring waterfalls to the quiet majesty of the high ice — bold, immersive, and unmistakably unforgettable.
Welcome Dinner
This evening, enjoy an included dinner in or around Hotel Grímsborgir, set amid the quiet beauty of Iceland’s countryside. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unwind, share first impressions from the day, and savor local flavors in a warm, welcoming setting after an unforgettable start to your journey.

Day 4: Lava, Landscapes & the Blue Lagoon
After a restful night—perhaps capped by a quiet moment in a private geothermal hot tub — pack up, enjoy breakfast, and check out of Hotel Grímsborgir as your journey gently turns back toward Reykjavík.
Leaving the countryside behind, you’ll follow a scenic route shaped by ancient volcanic forces. Along the way, step inside one of Iceland’s largest accessible lava tubes, where you’ll explore the dramatic underground world carved by flowing magma—an unforgettable glimpse into the island’s geological story.
From fire beneath the earth to warmth upon its surface, the day concludes at the Blue Lagoon. Settle into the mineral-rich, milky-blue waters, let the steam rise around you, and savor a perfectly unhurried farewell to Iceland’s elemental beauty.
