For those looking to explore Iceland and its Highland road, look no further than our 7-Night Small Group Iceland and the Highland Road tour. With overnight stays in Reykjavik, Akureyri, Vik, and Selfoss - each featuring a boutique accommodation - this Iceland vacation is the perfect way to introduce yourself to the landscape of a Nordic country.

Your tour begins in the northernmost capital of the world - Reykjavik. Here, you will meet your guide and be treated to a tour of the city before heading into the Icelandic countryside to visit the Skagafjördur Heritage Museum. After your museum visit, you will continue on to the northern village of Akureyri, where you will spend two nights.

Your time in the North features visits to the magnificent Godafoss Waterfall, the dramatic lava fields of Dimmurborgir, and the blue waters of Viti Crater. You will also be treated to a relaxing soak in the Mývatn Nature Baths that overlook Lake Mývatn. Leave the North behind and enjoy a scenic drive through the highland plateau of Iceland down to the southern coast - from the comfort of a specialized Highlander vehicle. 

Your time in the south is filled with adventure including a visit to the Black Sand Beach and an Amphibian Boat tour of the Jökulsárlón glacial lake. Your tour wraps up with a night in Selfoss - giving you easy access to your Golden Circle tour - and one last night in Reykjavik, complete with a soak in the world-famous Blue Lagoon and a farewell dinner at the incomparable Viking Village.

With breathtaking scenery and a full circle tour of the island, this Iceland vacation is sure to leave you feeling excited to book your next Authentic vacation.

Lauren was wonderful to work with and helped us plan a perfect vacation in Ireland. Everything from our flights, rental car, and every BNB was outstanding! We've used Authentic Vacations for 3 trips to Ireland …...here's to planning the 4th in the near future! Thanks Lauren!

"Wonderful Ireland"

Chris

Amber, Ireland is wonderful, and we’re having a ball. We got in to Kinsale late this afternoon and are taking a breather now to overcome some jet lag. When the town wakes up tomorrow, we’ll see it and shop a bit before going on to Killarney and Muckross.  By the way, The Irish House Party was perfect. Fun, not loud and crass but classy and friendly, entertainment. We recommend it highly. Thank you for all you did to help us put this trip together.

"Italy Bucket List"

Dale

We recently completed our trip to Italy after walking the Camiño de Santiago. The trip included Tuscany, Sicily, and Rome with a cruise to the Holy Land between Sicily and Rome. We worked with Naomi on the original planning and Joleen on the execution. Both were exceptional to work with and both are true professionals. Every facet of the trip, from transportation to billeting to excursions, was flawlessly planned and executed. We worked with Authentic Vacations for three trips this summer, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy we could not be more pleased with the service they provided us. Thank you!
