Discover Iceland in 3 Days-An Itinerary with Enjoy Iceland Tours

If you have just three days to explore Iceland, Enjoy Iceland Tours can help you see a lot, from geysers and waterfalls to black-sand beaches and glaciers. All in a comfortable, private tour setup with experienced local guides.

Why Choose Enjoy Iceland Tours for a Short Trip

• Personalized private tours. With Enjoy Iceland Tours, you get private or small-group tours. That means you can travel at your own pace, stop where you like, and skip what you don't want.

• Comfort & convenience. Their tours include hotel pickup and drop-off, comfortable vehicles (often luxury/minibus), and guides who know the roads and weather.

• Flexible experiences. You can choose classic sights or ask to add special touches: hot springs, off-the-beaten-path spots, or relaxing stops. The important thing to remember is that you have to pre-book all the places not included in the tour description.

Because of this flexibility, a 3-day trip with Enjoy Iceland Tours can deliver a satisfying, memorable visit even if you don't have a week or more.

 What to Check / Ask When Booking

When you contact Enjoy Iceland Tours, make sure to:

• Confirm you want a "split" plan: Golden Circle Day 1 + South Coast Day 2 (or more).
  
  

• Clarify hotel/ lodging, since the South Coast tour likely starts from its base (or from Reykjavik), you'll need to ensure pickup from your overnight stay.
  
  

• Confirm itinerary details (which waterfalls/coastline/beach/glacier/sea-view stops you want), since private tours allow customization.
  
  

• Dress & pack suitably: the weather in Iceland can change quickly; the South Coast, especially, can be windy, wet, or cold.

3-Day Itinerary

Here's a 3-day schedule -structured but relaxed -that covers Iceland's must-see nature with Enjoy Iceland Tours. You can customize it as per your preferences.

Day 1: The Classic "Golden Circle" Route

• Begin from Reykjavik with a pickup.
  
  

• Visit Thingvellir National Park, a historic and geological wonder, where tectonic plates meet.
  
  

• Explore the geothermal area around the hot-spring zone with erupting geysers.
  
  

• See the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall, a powerful waterfall that's part of the Golden Circle highlights.
  
  

• Optionally, you can ask Enjoy Iceland Tours to customize with extra stops -such as a volcanic crater or a relaxing spa/lagoon, if that is part of their package. Since the tours are customizable, this could fit well.

Overnight: Stay somewhere south or near the route, preparing for your next-day adventure.

After completing the Golden Circle, instead of returning to Reykjavik, stay overnight somewhere south (hotel or guesthouse; you'll need to arrange accommodation). Because you are on a private tour, there is flexibility in the end-of-day drop-off/pick-up/itinerary adjustment.

Day 2: South Coast and Coastal Wonders

• After breakfast, head south along Iceland's dramatic southern coast. With Enjoy Iceland Tours, you'll travel in comfort and safety, even on long-distance drives.
  
  

• Visit waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss; both are iconic Icelandic waterfalls.
  
  

• Continue toward the coast and reach the black-sand beach Reynisfjara Beach, known for its striking black sand, basalt cliffs, and sea stacks near the village of Vik.
  
  

• If you like, ask for a peaceful evening, maybe a hot spring visit, or relaxing time under the sky. Enjoy Iceland Tours can adjust your plan to match your pace. 

Overnight: Stay somewhere along the south coast, with a good chance (in winter) for clear skies, ideal for a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Enjoy Iceland Tours offers such seasonal tour options. 

Day 3: Flexible Finale Choose Your Adventure

On Day 3, you can choose the type of experience that suits you best:

Option A: More Nature: Glacier, Ice-Lagoon, or Ice-Cave Adventure

• If the weather permits and you're up for adventure, you might explore a glacier area: ice cave visits and glacier walks are among the most dramatic Icelandic experiences in the winter season.
  
  

• Witness the serene beauty of a glacier or ice cave, marvel at icebergs, and feel Iceland's "ice and fire" magic up close.
  
  

Option B: Gentle Return: Scenic Drive + Last Coastal/Foothill Views

• If you prefer a more relaxed end, use this day to revisit favourite waterfalls, beaches, or coastal places on the way back toward Reykjavik. Many tours blend South Coast and Golden Circle elements to give flexibility depending on time and weather.
  
  

• You might also ask your guide to fit in any "hidden gems" or quieter spots you missed earlier. With Enjoy Iceland Tours, you decide what matters most.

By the evening, you're back in Reykjavik or near the capital, wrapping up your short but rich Iceland adventure.

Quick Tips to Make the Most of 3 Days

• Be flexible with the weather. Iceland's weather changes fast. Since Enjoy Iceland Tours offers private or small-group tours, guides can adjust the route or day plan if the weather gets rough. 

• Mix comfort and adventure. You don't have to do long hikes or tough glacier treks; you can stick to easy-to-access waterfalls, beaches, or coastal drives. But if you want more thrill (glacier or ice cave), you can have that too.
  
  

• Ask for a custom tour. Enjoy Iceland Tours offers fully customized private tours. You can tell them what you like (nature, photos, chill vibes) and they will build the plan around you. 

• Don't overstuff the days. Three days is short: pick a few main highlights (Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, maybe glacier/ice-cave) rather than trying to see everything. This will make the trip enjoyable instead of rushed.
