Fri Jul 18
Reykjavik, Iceland
Arrive:
Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
The world's most northerly capital enjoys almost 24-hour sunlight in summer, all the better to show off the city’s eclectic architecture and dazzling natural wonders. Your English-speaking guide and driver meet you at the airport and take you to The Grand Hotel near the city center. If you like, walk to the nearby Saga Museum to brush up on Icelandic history, or catch a peek of historic Hofdi House, site of the 1986 summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that effectively ended the Cold War. Get a good night’s sleep, because tomorrow will be a busy one.

(Includes overnight at The Grand Hotel and airport transfer)
Sat Jul 19
Borgarfjordur & Husafell, Iceland
Arrive:
Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
After breakfast, head to Borgarfjordur, 56 miles from Reykjavik. This region was the setting for most of the Icelandic sagas and you’ll learn some folk tales as you view the short, fierce rapids of Barnafoss Waterfall and the series of rivulets that form Hraunfossar Waterfall. After lunch, step into the dazzling, blue-hued Langjokull Ice Tunnels and marvel at the natural beauty of one of the most striking glacier caves in Iceland. Enjoy the evening at your leisure.

(Includes overnight at The Grand Hotel, breakfast, and lunch)
Sun Jul 20
Pingvellir National Park
Arrive:
Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
Explore remarkable Pingvellir National Park after breakfast. This UNESCO World Heritage site is where the world’s oldest democratic parliament was founded in 930, and is also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Because of this unique geography, Iceland has magma close to the surface – one of the criteria required to produce geysers. See this in action at nearby Strokkur Geyser before lunch at Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Next up is Gullfoss Waterfall, where icy water thunders down a double fall into a deep gorge. Travel to the small village of Fludir, home to the Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, then to the village of Stokkseyri for a dinner of local dishes before heading back to Reykajavik and the Grand Hotel.

(Includes overnight at The Grand Hotel breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Mon Jul 21
Reykjavik to the Ship Blue Lagoon

Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
Breakfast is included at the hotel. A sightseeing tour of Reykjavik takes you to see Perlan the Pearl with an impressive panoramic view of Reykjavik, The Hallgrimskirkja, the church with an imposing tower that dominates the skyline. Bathe in the famous Blue Lagoon for a healthy mineral soak before heading to your waiting ship.
