6. Visit the West Fjords



The West Fjords are the most remote area in Iceland and not a part of the ring road, therefore it will take you a while to get there. By renting a car and exploring on your own you’ll find narrow fjords, beautiful beaches, cute little fishing villages and various hot springs. Ísafjörður is the largest town in the West Fjords where you can go on long hiking tours to Hornstrandir or check out this day tour of kayaking with seals. How cool is that ?

5. See Thorsmork valley and go volcano hiking



Þórsmörk valley is in my opinion one of the most beautiful and romantic destinations in Iceland. This lush valley is filled with beautiful rock formations and from the top of the surrounding mountains you are presented with spectacular views!
After the recent volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull it is ideal to go hiking up to the still warm volcano; a demanding hike but very rewarding!

4. Enjoy the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon



Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on the southshore in Iceland is a glacial lagoon with big chunks of ice floating in it and teeming with seals on the surrounding black beaches.
Breathtaking scenery!

3. Have a dip in a warm pool or tub



Whether it is the Blue Lagoon, Mývatn's Nature Baths, Reykjavík's warmed up beachside (Nauthólsvík), some natural hot spring, a swimming pool in Reykjavík or a swimming pool somewhere in the countryside – taking a dip in some (at least one!) of Iceland’s hot geothermal waters is an absolute must do!

2. Witness the Northern Lights



If you happen to be in Iceland during the winter time, make sure you keep looking up at the sky during the dark nights when the sky is clear. A dancing display of the Northern Lights is something that many want to tick off their bucket list!

1. Do the Golden Circle with Snowmobiling or Snorkeling



Everybody who comes to Iceland needs to go on The Golden Circle, it may be quite touristy but it just has to be done. The Golden Circle takes you to the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir hot spring and to Iceland’s old parliament in National Park Þingvellir, where 2 tectonic plates meet.
Seeing The Golden Circle in Iceland is the equivalent of seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Statue of Liberty in New York. The Golden Circle is a must do.
You can combine the Golden Circle tour with various activities and adventure tours. If you want to spice up your Golden Circle experience, it is ideal to do so with either going snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier or snorkeling (or diving if you have a diving license) in one of the world’s best dive sites, the silfra fissure. There you will be swimming between the continents of Europe and America.
