  Arrival in Reykjavík

  Hello, La La Ice Land 🇮🇸

  Land in Reykjavík, make your way to our hotel and settle into our first Icelandic base. Today isn’t about ticking places off a list — it’s about arriving, breathing in that crisp Icelandic air and realising that La La Ice Land has officially begun. 🇮🇸

  
  ✨ TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Land. Layer up. Look around. We’re in Iceland.

  The rest of the day is deliberately easy. Freshen up, step outside, walk around Reykjavík, find something warm to drink or simply recover from the journey.

  
  💡 WHY TODAY IS EASY
  

  Because tomorrow Iceland starts showing off. Today, you just need to arrive properly.

  Golden Circle + Friðheimar

  Where the Earth Is Still Alive 🌍

  Today we head out on Iceland’s legendary Golden Circle — a day of tectonic plates, erupting geothermal water, thundering waterfalls and a rather unexpected greenhouse in the middle of Iceland.

  
  🌍 TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Earth moving. Water exploding. Iceland being Iceland.

  
  📍 TODAY’S ICELAND
  

  Þingvellir National Park — where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet.
  Geysir Geothermal Area — watch Strokkur erupt from the earth.
  Gullfoss — one of Iceland’s most powerful and famous waterfalls.
  Friðheimar — Iceland’s fascinating geothermal greenhouse experience.

  
  💡 THE STRANGE THING ABOUT ICELAND
  

  Today you can literally stand between continents, watch boiling water shoot out of the ground and then eat food grown using geothermal energy.

  And we’re only on Day 02.

  Snæfellsnes Peninsula

  Iceland in Miniature 🏔️

  Today we explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula — often called “Iceland in Miniature” because an extraordinary amount of the country seems to have been squeezed into one dramatic peninsula.

  
  🏔️ TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Mountains. Coastline. Lava fields. Stop asking Iceland to pick a personality.

  This is a full day outside Reykjavík, travelling through some of western Iceland’s wildest scenery with the glacier-capped Snæfellsjökull volcano dominating the peninsula.

  
  💡 WHY SNÆFELLSNES?
  

  Because Iceland isn’t only about the famous Golden Circle and South Coast. Snæfellsnes gives us another side of the country — wilder, quieter and wonderfully dramatic.

  Jökulsárlón + Diamond Beach

  A Day Made of Ice & Diamonds 🧊

  Today is a big one. We journey towards Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where enormous pieces of ancient ice break away from the glacier and drift silently through the lagoon towards the Atlantic.

  
  🧊 TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Today, ice gets the starring role.

  
  📍 TODAY’S EXPERIENCE
  

  Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon — floating icebergs beneath one of Europe’s great glaciers.
  Diamond Beach — pieces of glacial ice scattered across volcanic black sand.

  
  💡 THE NAME MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU GET THERE
  

  Chunks of thousand-year-old glacial ice wash onto a completely black beach and catch the light like enormous diamonds.

  Iceland doesn’t do subtle very often.

  Reykjavík → Vík + South Coast

  Waterfalls, Black Sand & the Road to Vík 🖤

  Today we change bases — but this isn’t a transfer day. Our journey from Reykjavík to Vík becomes a road trip through Iceland’s spectacular South Coast.

  
  🚐 TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Waterfalls first. Black beach later. Suitcases somewhere behind us.

  
  📍 THE ROAD TO VÍK
  

  Seljalandsfoss — one of Iceland’s most recognisable waterfalls.
  Skógafoss — powerful, enormous and very difficult to photograph without getting mist on something.
  Reynisfjara — Iceland’s famous volcanic black-sand beach.
  Vík — our second Icelandic base.

  
  ⚠️ A SERIOUS NOTE ABOUT REYNISFJARA
  

  The Atlantic here is beautiful but powerful. We respect all safety barriers and warnings and never turn our backs on the waves for a photograph.

  
  💡 WHY WE SLEEP IN VÍK
  

  Because driving back to Reykjavík just to say we stayed in one hotel makes no sense. Vík puts us right where tomorrow’s adventure begins.

  Katla Ice Cave + Lava Show🧊🌋

  Fire & Ice — Literally 🧊🌋

  If there is one day that explains Iceland’s nickname “The Land of Fire and Ice”, this is probably it. We start with the ice. Then Iceland turns up the heat.

  
  🧊 + 🌋 TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Walk inside the ice. Then watch lava flow. Normal Iceland Tuesday.

  
  🧊 KATLA ICE CAVE
  

  We head out to experience the extraordinary world of Katla’s natural ice caves — formed inside the glacier covering one of Iceland’s most powerful volcanic systems.

  
  🌋 THEN COMES THE FIRE
  

  Later, we experience the Lava Show in Vík — where real molten lava lets us see, hear and feel the volcanic force that continues to shape Iceland.

  
  💡 FIRE + ICE
  

  Morning: inside a glacier.
  Later: standing near molten lava.

  Try explaining this day to someone back home without sounding like you’re making it up.

  Vík → Reykjavík

  Back to Reykjavík 🇮🇸

  After two nights in Vík, today we make our way back towards Reykjavík. The dramatic South Coast slowly disappears behind us as we return to the capital for the final chapter of La La Ice Land.

  
  🚐 TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Back to Reykjavík — but Iceland isn’t finished with us yet.

  Once back in Reykjavík, check in and enjoy the rest of the day at your own pace. After the last few adventure-heavy days, there is nothing wrong with a long shower, a good meal and doing absolutely nothing ambitious.

  
  💡 BACK TO BASE
  

  This is why we built Iceland around only two bases. We get the South Coast experience without turning the entire trip into packing, unpacking and changing hotels every night.

  Free Day + Northern Lights Chase

  By Day, Reykjavík. By Night, We Chase the Sky 🌌

  Our final full day in Iceland is deliberately left open. Sleep longer, explore Reykjavík, shop, find a café, revisit somewhere you loved — or add another Icelandic experience.

  
  ✨ TODAY’S MOOD
  

  No rush by day. Eyes on the sky by night.

  
  ♨️ FEEL LIKE DOING MORE?
  

  Those who want another experience can use the day for something optional such as Hvammsvík Hot Springs, while everyone else can simply enjoy Reykjavík.

  
  🌌 AND WHEN DARKNESS FALLS…
  

  We go searching for the Northern Lights — leaving the city glow behind and heading towards darker skies.

  
  💡 THE SKY MAKES THE FINAL DECISION
  

  Aurora sightings depend on weather, cloud cover and solar activity. Northern Lights can never be guaranteed.

  But when you’re in Iceland in March, looking up is part of the adventure.

  Departure

  Goodbye, La La Ice Land ✈️

  One last Icelandic morning before we check out and begin our journey home.

  
  ✈️ TODAY’S MOOD
  

  Suitcase heavier. Phone full. Definition of “beautiful” permanently recalibrated.

  Nine days ago we arrived in a country we knew through photographs. Since then, we’ve stood beside waterfalls, crossed volcanic landscapes, walked on black sand, watched icebergs float through a glacier lagoon, stepped into the world of Katla and gone looking for green skies.

  
  💛 FROM TEAM JUGNI
  

  Thank you for trusting us with nine days of your life. We never take that lightly.

  La La Ice Land ends here. The stories won’t. 🇮🇸
