Reykjavik

We arrive on Reykjavík's Culture Night, where the whole city is celebrating. We kick things off with a bubbly toast, then walk a few doors down from our hotel for a cozy three-course Icelandic dinner.

A stable visit with Icelandic horses

At Friðheimar, a rider welcomes us into the stable with coffee or tea, tells us all about the Icelandic horse and its history, and shows off all five of its gaits. There's plenty of time to wander, ask questions and give the horses some love.

The Westman Islands 

We hop the ferry to Heimaey, a little island with a big story. If we're lucky, we'll spot puffins at Stórhöfði. 

Fischersund perfume journey

Tucked into one of Reykjavík's oldest streets, Fischersund is a family-run perfumery that bottles the scents of Iceland. We'll have the place to ourselves for a private Fragrance Journey. 

Friðheimar greenhouse lunch

A family farm famous for growing tomatoes inside geothermal greenhouses. We dine among the vines for their famous all-you-can-eat tomato soup with fresh-baked bread.

Waterfalls

We stop in Vík for the best Icelandic cheese, fresh bread, skyr with berries and a few local treats, then set up a picnic with a view near Skógafoss waterfall.

Sky Lagoon

An oceanside geothermal lagoon right on the edge of the North Atlantic, with the seven-step bathing ritual. We booked the Sér Pass, so everyone gets private changing suites and the signature body products.

Uppspuni wool mill 

A tiny family mill where Hulda turns fleece from her own sheep into Icelandic yarn. She's a farmer, teacher and true pioneer, and our guide calls her a fountain of knowledge. Time to shop the yarn and wool goods too.

​

Black sand beaches

Black sand beaches, glaciers, canyons and farm stops along the way. Our private guide reads the weather and the group's mood to add the very best detours.
