Iceland is a dream destination for nature lovers —home to glaciers, volcanoes, and waterfalls that look like they belong on another planet. With an Iceland flexible tour package from Smartours , you can explore the country’s most breathtaking sights without overspending, setting your own pace and priorities.

Reykjavík: The Colorful Capital

Base yourself in a centrally located hotel or apartment for easy walks to Hallgrímskirkja church, Harpa Concert Hall, and the city’s cozy cafés. Over 60% of Iceland’s population lives here, giving it an energetic yet small-town feel. If you visit in early March, you might catch Iceland’s only annual beer day—celebrating the end of a 74-year beer ban.

The Golden Circle: Iceland’s Classic Day Trip

Stay in a guesthouse or farm near Þingvellir National Park, the original Geysir, and Gullfoss waterfall. Geysir is the namesake for all geysers worldwide, and on sunny days, Gullfoss’s mist shimmers gold—earning it the name “Golden Falls.”

South Coast Adventures: Glaciers and Black Sand Beaches

Book an eco-lodge or boutique stay in Vík to explore Reynisfjara Beach, Skógafoss waterfall, and the Sólheimajökull glacier. Reynisfjara’s basalt sea stacks formed over two million years ago, and National Geographic has ranked this dramatic shoreline among the top 10 non-tropical beaches in the world.

Akureyri and the North: Whale Watching and Hot Springs

Settle into a guesthouse in Akureyri , then head to Húsavík—Europe’s whale-watching capital, with an impressive 98% summer sighting rate. Nearby, the Mývatn Nature Baths offer steamy relaxation, though the lake’s name comes from the harmless midges that swarm the area.

The Westfjords: Iceland’s Wild Frontier

Choose a remote inn or coastal lodge for puffin-watching at Látrabjarg and a soak in the Hellulaug hot pool. The Westfjords span about 22,000 sq km yet have only 7,000 residents, creating a rare sense of untouched wilderness. The cliffs of Látrabjarg are also home to millions of nesting seabirds.
