When to Visit
The summer months in Iceland (June-August) are known to have milder temperatures and longer daylight hours, with almost 24 hours of daylight in June. This makes it a great time to explore Iceland’s beautiful landscapes, glaciers, waterfalls, and geothermal pools without worrying about extreme weather conditions. Overall, visiting Iceland in the summer is a great option for those looking to experience the country’s unique culture, stunning scenery, and wildlife in a comfortable and accessible way.

Day by Day Itinerary
Welcome to Eldar Lodge
You will be met at Keflavik Airport by your guide who will then drive you to your accommodation for the next five nights – Eldar Lodge. Guests can count on discretion, quality service and precious privacy, as the lodge is exclusively reserved for one travel party at a time.
Your stay at Eldar Lodge will be all-inclusive and includes your own private chef and waiting staff.
Onsite there is a geothermal spa both indoors and out, and a world of outdoor opportunities which you will be taking advantage of during your stay.
Golden Circle & Snowmobiling
Today your guide will take you out to visit one of Iceland’s most popular attractions – The Golden Circle – here you will get to witness Gullfoss Waterfall and the Geysir geothermal area. Then afterwards you get ready for some action when you head up onto Langjokull glacier to do some snowmobiling, transferred by Superjeep (an adventure in itself) you’ll head to the top of the glacier to spend an hour snowmobiling.
Snorkelling & Spa Day
In Þingvellir National Park you will discover Silfra – an otherworldly sight located on top of the tectonic plate rift between Europe and North America. The area is voted as one of the Top 10 diving sites where visibility can reach up to 100 metres (not great for those who suffer from a fear of heights)! This trip gives you the opportunity to experience this location by snorkelling and swimming across the two continents of the North American and Eurasian divide.
In the afternoon you will be taken to the Fontana Spa for a bit of downtime from the excitement and activities you have been involved in – and there is plenty more to come.
River Rafting & ATV
Get ready to kick the day off with a private rafting experience down the Hvítá River. Hvítá River is classed as a Class 2 river which means that no previous rafting experience is required yet it will still be sure to be full of excitement! You’ll be kitted out in all the required gear including a wetsuit and life jacket – then a hot tub and sauna afterwards to warm up.
Then in the afternoon, you’ll switch your rafts to ATVs as you take to the black sand beaches on a two-hour private tour exploring this stunning part of Iceland.
Westman Islands visit & RIB Boat Adventure
This is a particularly special day as you get to travel to the volcanic island of Heimay. The island is part of the Westman Islands, a group of 15-18 islands off the southern coast of Iceland. It is known to be one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets that offer some of the most incredible scenery surrounded by mountains, islands, volcanoes, puffins and other seabirds.
After exploring the island you will take the sea with private 2 hours RIB boat safari where, if you are lucky, you might get to seals and whales as you glide along the ocean exploring the archipelago.
Buggy Adventure & Blue Lagoon
You will head out and explore Thorsmork Valley, named after the thunder god Thor, by a 4×4 buggy. Here you will get to test your driving skills as you navigate through rivers, dirt tracks, and learn to manoeuvre your buggy to the best of your abilities. Both a thrilling and perfect ways to get the opportunity to get immersed in the surrounding landscape.
Afterwards, you will make your way to The Retreat at Blue Lagoon for your final two nights. The perfect accommodation to see off your final couple of days in Iceland with its exclusive access to the Blue Lagoon and spending the night in a Moss Junior Suite.
Bike, Hike, and Inside The Volcano
On your final day of activities, you will get the opportunity to hop onto a bicycle for a private ride through part of the Icelandic wilderness where a guide will plan out a trip based on your abilities.
Then in the afternoon, you will head on a hike up to one of Iceland’s most fascinating experiences – Inside The Volcano. Here you find yourself being dropped into Iceland’s dormant Þríhnúkagígur volcano and get to witness it from the bottom of the crater (some 400 feet deep down)!
Head Home
Your private transfer will collect you from your accommodation and take you to the airport.

From Our Customers
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
