What our clients have to say
Incredible company and guide!
LeAnne, November 2022
We schedule a week visit to Iceland at the end of Sept for the week of Thanksgiving through Victor at Deluxe Iceland. They gave our family of 5 (ages 13, 15, and 18) what we all consider the best vacation we have ever had and we have Deluxe Iceland to thank! They tailored the entire trip to the type of activities our family enjoys while still managing for us to cover all of the highlights of Iceland at this time of the year. They also managed to do this within 6 weeks of visiting. Jonas was our private guide and driver the entire time. All 5 of us absolutely adored him and he added a number of things that made our trip special. He has the perfect balance of knowing how involved to be and when it is time to chill or have family time. We were able to see the Northern Lights our second night in Iceland and Jonas took the time to make sure we had all the family pictures we needed to create our Christmas card and then had hot chocolate brewing in the back of the car to our surprise. When it was too windy one day to snow mobile, he suggested we go on ATVs and it was definitely the most favorite thing for our boys. Every day was something new, wonderful and private. The restaurants were equally amazing and varied and Jonas managed to find places with the best fries- which was what was most important to my daughter. The country and people in Iceland are absolutely amazing. I want to go back in the summer and experience new things. Highlights of our trip were: ice caving, seeing the Northern lights, visiting a family for a day of life on a traditional dairy farm (which surprisingly was one of my kids favorite things), private yacht to see the whales, walking, shopping and eating around Reykjavik (definitely go to Apotek), 4 wheeling in the snow and seeing hidden waterfalls. Blue Lagoon is also a must and I would go upon arrival vs. on your way out. We arrived at 6:30am and were there by 8:15 and it was a perfect way to start after getting no sleep on the flight.
Itinerary
When you arrive in Iceland at Keflavik Airport, your private driver will greet you at the arrival hall and take you to the Blue Lagoon. Where you will have access to the Retreat Spa and soak in geothermal waters. There is a restaurant in the Spa if you want to have a light meal. You can stay up to five hours in the Spa. After enjoying the Blue Lagoon your private driver will take you to your hotel in Reykjavik.
Start the day by taking a one-hour horseback riding tour right outside of Reykjavik before heading to the amazing Reykjanes Peninsula to enjoy a hike to the volcanic eruption site. The Land of Fire and Ice is once again living up to its name! One of the last eruptions in Geldingadalur valley, just south of Fagradalsfjall volcano, left gleaming lava which can be found running in molten rivers and spurting in spectacular jets. The hike will take approximately 1 – 2 hours each way, depending on how close you want to get, and the trail is conveniently marked. This is an ideal hike if the weather conditions are good. This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience and should not be missed!
On this day you will drive the Golden Circle route, which includes one of Iceland’s most popular places and attractions. You will start with a stop at Þingvellir National Park and go snorkeling in the Silfra fissure between the two continents (Approx. drive 55 minutes). Afterwards you can learn about the world’s first parliament and enjoy a light hike through the park. You will head to Geysir Geothermal Area to see the exploding geysers and the lively Strokkur which spouts water 30 metres (100 ft) into the air every few minutes. After all this, you will visit Gullfoss Waterfall one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls before your guide will take you to your lodge in South Iceland for the night.
On this day you will get right into the action and head straight for the beautiful Icelandic south shore. You will start the day by driving to the Black Sandy Beach, Reynisfjara (Approx. drive 55 minutes). A guide will take you on the ice for a hiking tour on Sólheimajökull glacier. Afterwards you will be taken to see Skógafoss waterfall, which is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, which you can walk right up to. On your way back, you will stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall before your guide takes you to your lodge in South Iceland for the night.
You will start the day by visiting a local farm to get familiar with the Icelandic farm life and enjoy a cup of coffee and Icelandic Pancakes. Afterwards top the day by going snowmobiling up on Eyjafjallajökull – the infamous glacier that erupted in 2010.
In the morning you will start an extreme two-hour buggy tour in front of the private lodge and head into the highlands of Thorsmork, after getting your adrenaline flowing for the day you will return to the lodge for a light lunch and start heading to Reykjavik.
