Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Reykjavík, Iceland

    Discover culture and history in the world’s northernmost capital – Reykjavík. Stroll through the historic Old Town, see the Parliament building, and admire the stunning, honeycombed glass façade of the Harpa Concert Hall. Tonight, gather with your fellow travelers and experience the freshness of authentic Icelandic fare at a local restaurant.

  2. 2

    Reykjavík - Golden Circle - Reykjavík

    Travel the Golden Circle to experience Iceland's most iconic natural wonders, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Thingvellir National Park where you can walk between two continents. Feel the earth rumble at the geysir geothermal areas, where Strokkur erupts skyward. Then, witness the raw power of the Gullfoss (Golden Falls) double-cascade waterfall as it plunges into a dramatic canyon. A unique culinary treat awaits as you taste traditional “lava bread” baked using the Earth’s natural geothermal heat. Return to Reykjavík for an evening on your own.

  3. 3

    Reykjavík - Akranes - Borgarnes

    Travel west along Iceland’s coast to the fishing town of Akranes at the foot of Akrafjall Mountain. Visit the picturesque lighthouse, climb the stairs to take in views over the bay if you wish, and take time for a leisurely walk along the historical harbor if you choose. Feel the power of the earth at Deildartunguhver, the highest-flowing hot spring in Europe, and stroll along wooden walkways to explore the hot springs safely. Later, get to know the world-famous Icelandic horse breed as you visit friendly horses at the stables of a family-run farm, and learn how geothermal energy is used in daily life, from baking rye bread to heating homes and stables. This evening, arrive in Borgarnes, your home for the next three nights and an ideal setting for seeking the northern lights.

    Borgarnes - Langjökull Glacier - Borgarnes

    This morning, experience an Impact Moment with a visit to an Icelandic goat farm. Learn how local farmer, Jóhanna, helped to bring this unique breed, dating back to the time of Iceland’s settlement, back from the brink of extinction. After visiting with the friendly goats, enjoy a simple meal of homemade specialties from the farm. Then, bundle up and ascend Langjökull glacier via mountain truck and go “Into the Glacier” to experience the purest blue ice color in this man-made tunnel, the world’s largest. Cap the day at the enchanting Hraunfossar waterfalls (Lava Falls), where clear, cold springs seep through the lava field and form many small waterfalls into the Hvítá River. Tonight, after dinner, gaze at the sky in search of the northern lights.

  5. 5

    Today, journey to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, with its camera-ready black sand beaches, mountain peaks, volcanic craters, rocky coastlines, and tiny fishing villages.

    This morning, travel back to Reykjavík, and spend some time exploring the capital city and have lunch on your own. Then, it’s your choice!

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
