Complete Iceland
Driving around Iceland in 5 days we´ll explore and see most of the countries interesting places like glaciers, glacier lagoon, waterfalls, hot springs, blue lagoon, fjords etc….
Day 1. Arrival and Reykjavik .
Meeting and greeting at airport for your arrival. Relax in the amazing Blue Lagoon , later t ransport to hotel in Reykjavik .
Day 2. South coast and waterfalls.
From Reykjavik we´ll drive the south coast of Iceland . After short stop at village Hvollsvollur we arrive at Seljalandsfoss, one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland . It is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars.
Late afternoon we arrive at Skogar-waterfall 60 m high and counted among the most beautiful of the country. The first settler at Skogar was Thrasi Thorolfsson. He was a learned man and his character was antiquated. He is said to have hidden a chest filled with gold coins in a cave behind the waterfall. On fine days, when the sun is shining, people say that his gold is glittering through the water. Many have tried to find the chest and once a young man succeeded. He tied a rope to its ring and pulled. He only retrieved the ring, which was later used for the church door at Skogar. Now it is one of the prides of the Skogar Museum
The Skógar museum was opened in 1949 and its first permanent building was built in 1954-55. The museum has been the responsibility of one man, Thordur Tomasson (28/4 1921). He started the collection of the artifacts and houses of the open-air museum and has not stopped yet. After having enjoyed the well-organized Folk Museum , the visitors usually visit the sod farm to see how people used to live in the past. In the slopes behind it are more "modern" dwellings, which were disassembled elsewhere in the district and rebuilt at Skógar. The pride of the museum is the church, which was consecrated in 1998. It depicts the most common church architecture of the past and all its possessions belonged to older churches, which have disappeared. It is safe to assert, that a tour of Iceland is incomplete without visiting this museum.
Driving further east passing Myrdalsglacier and approaching biggest glacier in Europe , Vatnajokull-glacier. 
Day 3: Glacier day
After breakfast we drive to the famous glacier lagoon, JOKULSARLON. Prior to 1950 the 1½ km long course of the glacial river Jokulsa was uninterrupted by any lagoon. Since then the glacier tongue has retreated and a lagoon, gradually increasing in size, was created. The average flow of the river is 250-300 m³/sec. and
the edge of the glacier snout floats on the water. It calves into the lagoon and icebergs of different sizes can be seen stranded and melting rather quickly. The lagoon is very deep, at least 190 m. The river gets shorter and shorter, mainly because of the constant sea erosion, which eventually is going to destroy the bridge (built in 1967). The result will be a deep bay, which is going to grow longer the further the glacier snout retreats.
The lagoon's surface has been lowered almost to sea level and sea water comes in with the tides, increasing the water temperature. Salmon, capelin and herring enter the lagoon and the harbor seals follow the food. Eider ducks are very common on the lagoon. It is an unforgettable adventure to take a boat trip between the icebergs to admire the natural ice sculptures and the blue green color of the ice. Driving along Vatnajokull-glacier to east fjord of Iceland with its magnificent mountains until we arrive at village Egilstadir.
Day 4: Waterfall and Lake Myvatn
Heading north we drive the highland road between north and east Iceland . At noon we arrive at waterfall Dettifoss located in northeastern Iceland . It is situated on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which flows from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in north-east Iceland . It is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe , having a flow variously estimated at between 200 and 500 cubic meters of water per second, depending on the season and the summer ice melt. The falls are 100 m wide and have a drop of 44 m down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
After lunch we drive to Lake Myvatn the country's fourth largest natural lake. It abounds in lake char and is netted by the farmers the whole year round. The lake area is known world wide for its exceptionally many breeding duck species (15) and the abundance of other avifauna. The lake's surroundings show such variety in landscapes and amazing geological formations, that the visitors have to spend several days there to enjoy them fully. This area is extremely volcanic. Nine eruptions took place there during the period 1975-1984 and the continental drift was measured 4,8 m. This show of nature's immense power gave the scientist the first real opportunity to study the plate tectonics on dry land. Late afternoon we arrive at the capital city of north, Akureyri.
Day 5. North to south Iceland
After breackfast we drive to Hauganes for whale watching. After lunch at Hauganes we´ll head south to Borgarnes penisular. 
Before dinner we´ll visti the Settlement Center at Borgarnes village.
THE SETTLEMENT EXHIBITION: This exhibition provides an insight into the settlement of Iceland . It tells how the land was discovered, how the Viking sailors conquered the open ocean and why they left their homelands in Norway . It tells of the first men to set foot on the island and how the land was settled up to the establishment of the first parliament in the world, the Althing, at Thingvellir in 930AD. Multi-media and theatrical techniques are employed to help the visitor experience first hand the trepidation and exitement of setting off over the open ocean for lands unknown. Audio guides lead the visitor on a voyage of discovery and are available in English, German, Frendh, Italian, Polish and Norwegian, Spanish, Japanese and Russian. A complete circuit of the exhibition takes about 30 minutes.
THE EGILS SAGA EXHIBITION: This exhibition profiles one of the most colourful of all the saga heroes, Egil, the son of Skalla-Grím Kveldúlfsson. One of the very first settlers, Egil's father arrived from Norway just 10 years after the first land had been claimed. The Saga of this family's pioneering and settlement of the Borgarfjörd region provides a brilliant insight in the tumultuous years of settlement. Egil himself is a larger than life hero, an intriguing combination of violent Viking and sensitive poet. The saga is a complex and vibrant intertwining of battles and love affairs, sorcery and pagan lore. Situated in the stone-walled basement of the Centre, the exhibition leads the visitor through the twists and turns of this fantastic Saga.
Day 6. Waterfalls, hot spring and Reykjavik
From Borgarnes we drive to hot spring Deildartunguhver probably the most voluminous natural hot spring of the world. Its average flow of 98C hot water is 180 liters per second, about 40% of the natural hot spring water appearing on the surface in the Borgarfiord District. Tour to two waterfalls before we head to Reykjavik .
Hraunfossar and Barnafossar-waterfalls:
The unique and picturesque waterfalls called Hraunfossar ( Lava Falls ) or Girdingar cascade from underneath the edge of the lava field Hallmundarhraun and spill into the glacial river Hvita. The pedestrian bridge across the river was originally built in 1891 and renovated exactly a century later. In the beginning, it was used to drive sheep across the river, but nowadays lorries transport the sheep. Just upriver from the bridge is the so-called Barnafoss (The Children's Waterfall), where there was a natural stone arch across the narrows.
According to the legend, a widow with two children lived at the farm Hraunsas in the past. One Christmas she and her domestics went to attend services at the church at Gilsbakki on the other side of the river. They left the two children at home and could not find them upon returning home. Their tracks led down to the stone arch and it was obvious that they had fallen in and drowned. The mother had the arch demolished and donated the farm Nordurreykir to the church at Reykholt in their memory. The Heidarviga Saga (The Saga of the Slaying on the Heath) mentions this natural stone arch.
The Book of Settlements mentions the sorcerer Musa-Bolverkur, who lived at the farm Hraunsas and says, that he was responsible for diverting the course of River Hvita to the north of the hill Hraunsas, its present course.
Arrive late afternoon at our accommodation after hopefully great 5 days tour around Iceland .
