Day 1
Reykjavik – Helicopter Over the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Golden Circle
Transport your family to the mystical landscapes of the safest country in the world, Iceland, and prepare yourselves for an adventure of a lifetime. When you arrive at Keflavik Airport, your private transfer will guide you to a helicopter ride that circles the Southwest side of Iceland or the Golden Circle. You will have the rare opportunity of witnessing the beauty of Thingvellir National Park, which is the sole UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iceland, from a bird’s eye view. This exclusive experience will have you marveling at the Geysir Geothermal area in Haukadalur Valley, which is home to active geysers such as the infamous Strokkur, Smidur, and Litli-Strokkur. The spewing and blistering water of Strokkur will stun your family into silence with its majesty.
From here, you will continue toward Iceland’s signature waterfall of the region: Gullfoss or Golden Falls. The sheer size and grandeur of Gullfoss bring a light mist to anyone who is standing nearby. You can also gaze at the sensation of the mid-Atlantic ridge, which is the only ridge that can be seen above sea level, from this location. Later, you will tiptoe along the edge of the Almannagja gorge, which is home to long stretches of darkened volcanic rock and where part of North America’s tectonic plates lie. You can challenge yourself to see if you can discover the secret path that leads to another majestic but human-made waterfall, Oxararfoss. If you cannot find it, your guide will gladly give you hints. As you stand at the base of the waterfall, you will be carried away by its folklore and beauty that will make you feel completely at peace.

Zicasso's tour planner designed an amazing two-week trip for us to Iceland. She was wonderful to work with. Every detail was precisely planned and communication was prompt and helpful.

Iceland did not disappoint! From our arrival in Reykjavík to our final day at the Blue Lagoon, every moment was nothing short of magical.
A huge thank you to Zicasso’s travel consultant at the travel company for creating an amazing itinerary filled with the best Iceland has to offer. Highlights included exploring inside a volcano, marveling at Geysir Park, a full day in Vatnajökull National Park, the breathtaking glacier lagoon, the black-sand Diamond Beach, and the unforgettable waterfalls at Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.
We ended the trip perfectly with a relaxing soak at the Blue Lagoon—an ideal way to close out an incredible adventure.
Finally, a special thank-you to our guide. This trip would not have been the same without you! The hidden gems and personal touches you added turned a great trip into the experience of a lifetime.

Working with Zicasso’s travel designer was incredibly seamless and enjoyable. He created an impeccable nine-day trip to Iceland that allowed me to see different sections of the island each day. From Reykjavík to the Golden Circle to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula to the Silver and Diamond Circles, I covered a lot of ground by renting a car and driving myself.
I really appreciated how responsive, fast, and thoughtful this travel designer was in planning the trip with a quick turnaround i.e., I only booked the trip a month ahead of my scheduled travel. He also checked in throughout the trip to make sure things were going well and helped me immediately rebook a whale watching-tour that was canceled on my first day due to weather. Having everything booked through him made it really easy for me, knowing it was all taken care of. All I had to do was show up.
I highly recommend Iceland as a destination, especially if you enjoy outdoor adventures, hiking, and exploring natural wonders—it's a magical place. I also recommend booking a trip through Zicasso’s travel partner. As a local Icelandic company, it's an excellent resource to guarantee a great experience!

Zicasso’s trip planner planned a perfect trip for us. She took into account our family size, the age of our daughter, and our needs perfectly. The tips included with the itinerary on what to eat and the weather were so helpful, and we were well prepared, so we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. The itinerary was flexible enough that we could deviate when needed and still have a great time.
