Day 1: Reykjavik - Near Vík, Iceland

Location: Vik

Duration: 3 Days

Departure Time: 08:00, 09:00

The Famous Golden Circle

Today you will be picked up at your accommodation in Reykjavik for your once-in-a-lifetime tour or the Golden Circle’s three main attractions; Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss. Thingvellir National park, one of UNESCO’S world heritage site Is our first stop, full of geological wonders and national history. The Eurasian and North American tectonic plate meet in Thingvellir and you can clearly see the drift that has occurred over the years. Lake Thingvallavatn is the largest natural lake in Iceland and the whole area is covered with birch bushes that are very characteristic of the area. Next, we visit the Haukadalur valley geothermal area to see the renowned hot spring Geysir, which gave all other geysers their name. Gullfoss, the golden waterfall, is the last site on the Golden Circle route. This magnificent waterfall is the most visited in Iceland and for a good reason. The amazing sight of the roaring water rushing into the canyon is an unforgettable vision.

From the Golden circle, we will drive through stunning sceneries to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can walk behind the cascade for an enchanting experience. Next up, we visit Skógafoss. This impressive cascade falls 60 meters into the calm Skógará river.

We will spend the night just outside of the small coastal town of Vík, where we will have the possibility of catching the Northern lights if the conditions are right.

Day 2: Near Vík - Near Skaftafell, Iceland

Location: Skaftafell

Black Sand Beach & Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (B)

We start the day at the otherworldly Reynisfjara black sand beach. The Atlantic Ocean really shows its force here, so be careful to follow the guidelines from your tour guide. The basalt pillars Reynisdrangar, rising from the sea just offshore, give you a good idea where some of the Icelandic folklore springs from. Don’t miss the basalt column cave before you leave the black sand beach.

From Reynisfjara, we continue our journey towards the east through enchanting lava fields and desert glacier sands, a wonderful contrast of scenery. Vatnajökull glacier dominates the area, and its magnificent glacier lagoon is our next stop. The Jökulsárlón lagoon and the nearby beach, filled with icebergs of different size and shape, are dreamlike sights in the twilight of the afternoon.

We will spend the night near Skaftafell. We will, of course, also keep an eye out for the Northern lights that night for the darkness of the countryside offers a great opportunity for Aurora spotting.

Day 3: Near Skaftafell - Reykjavík, Iceland

Location: Reykjavík

Glacier Walk & Ice Caving (B)

Today you will go for an unforgettable ice cave and glacier hike adventure. After a thorough safety briefing and gearing up, we will set foot on the glacier and hike about 45 up to the cave through stunning glacier landscape. Once in the ice cave, you will have plenty of time to explore the magical ice and take photos. Our certified glacier guides will lead you on the glacier, ensuring your safety at all times.

After our time at the glacier, we will enjoy a scenic drive back to Reykjavík, making some stops along the way, one of them being for the visit and exploration of the Fjadrargljufur Canyon. We will be in Reykjavík between 7 and 10 PM, depending on weather and conditions.

Note: The weather in Iceland is ever changing and we want to ensure that your travelling experience will be optimal. Your guide will, therefore, decide how it’s best to operate the tour each time so you might visit the cave on day two if the guide estimates the conditions to be better then. The temperature inside the glacier is well below the freezing point so please dress accordingly.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
