The 7 Nights Round Iceland is our flagship circuit — a full lap of the Ring Road that strings together the north's geothermal wonders, the wild East Fjords, the glacier lagoon and the classic South Coast in one continuous, fully guided loop. It suits agencies whose clients want to see the whole island rather than a single corner, with a licensed driver-guide, comfortable 4*/3* hotels and a steady, well-judged pace from Keflavik back to Reykjavik.
