Iceland in a Week – What to See and Experience?
Time is not elastic. Although travel lovers would like to be on the road endlessly, in reality, we eventually need to return to daily life – work, family, household duties, and everything else. But that doesn’t mean you can’t see and experience a lot in a short time! “Iceland in a week” was the motto I followed when organizing a six-day tour through this stunning land. Discover why it’s the best option if you want to explore Iceland in a short period!
Iceland in a Week – Travel Itinerary
To make the “Iceland in a week” plan work, you need to craft a smart route – one that allows you to keep moving forward without backtracking or covering the same areas repeatedly. There's no time to waste, and there's so much to see in Iceland!
The 6 Days Ultimate Adventure from Reykjavik tour includes the following locations:
Reykjanes Peninsula – featuring breathtaking sea cliffs, volcanic craters, lava fields, and geothermal zones. Psst! You can also explore this area on a shorter trip: What Secrets Does the Reykjanes Peninsula Hide?
Snæfellsnes Peninsula – a region known for its uniquely concentrated features of Iceland. It’s often called “Iceland in miniature” for a reason! You'll see fishing villages, a glacier-capped volcano, black sand beaches, and iconic Icelandic peaks.
The Golden Circle – one of Iceland’s most famous tourist routes, which we've covered in the article What Is the Golden Circle in Iceland and Why Is It Worth Visiting?
The South Coast – home to majestic waterfalls, incredible beaches, glaciers, and ice caves. This area is so beautiful, we dedicate two full days to exploring it.
The Icelandic Highlands – the final stop on our weeklong journey, offering seasonal attractions like volcanic valleys, canyons, and waterfalls.
Each trip starts and ends in Reykjavík or Keflavík Airport – I’ll pick you up and drop you off there, happy and thrilled with everything you’ve experienced.

Iceland in a Week – What Can You Experience?
Depending on the season, time of year, and weather, this weeklong Iceland tour offers various additional attractions. Highlights include horseback riding on a black sand beach or across lava fields, visiting an ice cave, hiking on a glacier with a certified guide, snowmobiling on Vatnajökull glacier, and even dog sledding. These are once-in-a-lifetime experiences you’ll never forget.
But that’s not all – even if your memories start to fade after a few years, you’ll have a full photographic record of where you went, what you saw, and what you experienced. My tour is truly unique – it’s a photographic journey that combines sightseeing in Iceland’s most iconic spots with a professional photo shoot.
Extra perks? Privacy (it’s just you and your chosen companions on the tour) and personalized attractions (don’t want to visit something from the list? Want to add a special spot? No problem!).
