ReykjavikSpend the day exploring both the contemporary and traditional sides of this cultured coastal capital. Start with a visit to the National Museum of Iceland, which tells the story of Iceland'''s founding through some 2,000 objects, including a medieval ship of the type used to settle the island. You then visit Hallgrimskirkja Church, the city'''s most prominent landmark. Pause to take in the exterior of the Harpa, a cutting-edge performance center built in 2011. This award-winning structure features a striking colored-glass fa''ade designed to evoke Iceland'''s basalt landscape. Proceed to the Blue Lagoon for lunch and to experience its invigorating waters. The lagoon is fed by natural runoff from a clean geothermal powerplant, emerging rich in silica that lends the water its unmistakable blue hue. The water is also high in salts and algae, giving it therapeutic benefits sworn to by visitors from all corners of the world. Relax and enjoy the soothing pools amid beautiful volcanic landscapes. Continue to the Reykjanes Peninsula at the southwestern end of Iceland, a stark volcanic landscape of black lava fields and smoldering, sulfurous craters. Nearby Krysuvikurbjarg, which you visit next, is a series of cliffs known for harboring a range of birdlife as well as an area strong in Icelandic folk tradition. Following your visit, transfer to your hotel.Hotel: Landhotel

South IcelandAlong with the Amalfi Coast and Ireland'''s Ring of Kerry, the shore of southern Iceland offers one of the most scenic drives in all of Europe. Enjoy a morning'''s drive along this enticing coastline, stopping to explore waterfalls and black-sand beaches. Iceland is one of the world'''s most seismologically active places; learn how this has shaped the island with a visit to the Lava Center, where state-of-the-art exhibits reveal the fascinating facts behind earthquakes, volcanos and other natural forces.

Golden CircleThingvellir National Park is that rare locale that is significant both as a scenic wonder and a cultural treasure: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Vikings established the world'''s first democratic parliament more than 1,000 years ago. It'''s also one of the few places you can straddle two continents at once, as the conjunction of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates is exposed here. After exploring the park, continue to Fridheimar, a geothermally heated organic greenhouse, for a tour and freshly prepared lunch. Next, visit the regularly erupting Strokkur Geyser and stunning Gullfoss, where milky green glacial water plummets down Iceland'''s most famous waterfall.

Then, ride in a specially equipped eight-wheeled truck on the colossal Langjokull ice cap ''' Europe'''s second-largest glacier ''' which, at its highest point, sits 4,760 feet above sea level. Descend into man-made tunnels carved deep into the glacier, exploring stages of glacial formation, blue-hued dens and even a chapel.Hotel: Hotel Husafell
Meals: Breakfast Lunch Dinner -
Day 7
Hvalfjordur & West IcelandToday, enjoy stops at Hraunfossar and fabled Barnafoss Waterfall. Then, visit a local family farm in Hvalfjordur, a beautiful fjord in West Iceland. Due to the fjord'''s depth, the U.S. Navy was able to keep their warships hidden here during World War II. Experience Icelandic life firsthand at a local farm that has been in the same family since 1887 and where three generations now live together. You also taste delicious food and drink produced by the farmers, some of which are prize winners, such as smoked blueberry-cured mutton, smoked lamb and home-brewed dandelion wine. In the afternoon, return to Reykjavik to embark on a thrilling whale-watching boat ride. About 20 species, such as blue whales, fin whales, minkes and humpbacks, each with its own characteristics and behaviors, visit Icelandic waters throughout the year. Marvel as these magnificent giants surface, sometimes within a few yards of your vessel, affording you an unforgettable, up-close wildlife encounter. Afterward, head to the city center, where you enjoy dinner at a restaurant specializing in traditional Icelandic cuisine.Hotel: Hotel Borg
