Iceland Tours

4 Day Private Tour

Essential Geothermal Iceland & Reykjavík

This is Iceland done properly.
Not rushed. Not herded.
Not watered down.

Our 4 day Essential Geothermal Iceland & Reykjavík private tour is designed for travellers who want to experience the real Iceland beyond the standard coach routes, with a private guide, handpicked hotels and access to places most tours simply cannot reach.

Over four perfectly paced days you will stay in three carefully selected hotels, each chosen for location, comfort and character. From the heart of Reykjavík to the quieter geothermal regions, every overnight stop has a purpose and enhances the journey rather than just filling a gap.

You will explore the Golden Circle in a way that avoids the crowds wherever possible, taking time to truly appreciate Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss rather than ticking them off a list. A visit to the iconic Blue Lagoon is included, allowing you to unwind in mineral rich waters surrounded by volcanic landscape.

This tour goes deeper than the classics. You will visit a geothermal park rarely included in mainstream itineraries and experience a hot river hike, one of Iceland’s most unforgettable natural phenomena. Reaching the warm, flowing river requires walking through untouched terrain, something that simply is not possible on large group tours, and it is completely worth it.

With a private guide throughout, the itinerary remains flexible, personal and immersive. There is no rigid timetable, no waiting for coaches and no compromises. This is Iceland at its most raw, beautiful and authentic.

5 Day Private Tour

South Iceland Adventure

This is the ultimate Iceland experience for those who want to see more, go further and feel the scale of the country in a way few travellers ever do.

Our 5 day South Iceland Adventure includes everything from the Essential Geothermal tour and then builds on it with an additional hotel night and one of Iceland’s most jaw-dropping journeys, the south coast and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

Across five carefully curated days you will stay in four distinctive hotels, each positioned to maximise scenery, minimise driving time and give you a real sense of place. From Reykjavík through Iceland’s geothermal heartlands and down the dramatic south coast, the journey itself becomes part of the experience.

You will enjoy all the highlights of the 4 day tour including the Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, geothermal park and hot river hike, all with a private guide who adapts the experience to your pace and interests.

The additional day transforms the trip. Travelling east along the south coast you will pass waterfalls, black sand beaches and vast lava plains before reaching Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Watching icebergs drift silently from the glacier out towards the Atlantic is one of those moments that stops you in your tracks and reminds you how powerful this landscape really is.

This extended itinerary allows for slower mornings, longer stops and the freedom to take detours when conditions are right, something that simply cannot happen on standard tours. It is immersive, unhurried and deeply memorable.

Why choose Wren Travel?

These tours are not designed from Google searches or second-hand recommendations. They are built on lived experience.

Jen lived in Iceland in 2012 and has returned every year since. That depth of knowledge shapes every itinerary, from where you stay, to when you visit key sights, to the hidden geothermal spots and hiking routes that most tours never include.

Knowing Iceland properly means understanding its seasons, its light, its weather patterns and its quiet corners. It means knowing when a place is magical and when it is overrun, and designing routes that avoid the worst of the crowds without missing the moments that matter.

Wren Travel specialises in private, carefully curated itineraries. These tours are intentionally different to mainstream options, slower paced, more immersive and designed for travellers who want more than a checklist holiday.

Every booking is fully ATOL and ABTA protected, giving you complete financial security and peace of mind from the moment you book until you return home.

This is Iceland planned by someone who knows it inside out, not someone who has visited once.

"Its been a dream come true...

...It’s beaten all expectations it was just out of this world...

I’ve been thinking about it all all day and I need to pinch myself. Each day was perfect. Everywhere you took us and we stayed was wonderful and breathtaking. 

The key for me was you both. You made it that extra special. It’s unique what you do and what you provide and no money can buy that it’s just the lucky ones like Chris and I who get to experience it with you.

Sam was a treasure getting me up and down that mountain as I was definitely having a sense of humour failure. Could you just imagine me off turning back and not getting to do my highlight of the trip.

I’ve learnt so much which is fantastic and I’ve seen wonders of the world which will stay with me forever. 

The food was some of the best I’ve ever had…trust me Chris and I are foodies and search for perfection and you managed to provide that for us each day. Even the red wine and amazing cinnamon pastry in the stream was beyond perfect.

I will be talking about this trip for the rest of my life and I shall talk about you and Sam so fondly along with it.

It’s been a pleasure spending time with you both.

I wish you continued success with everything Jen as you are a gem who takes pride in everything you do and plan. You are a very special lady.

I am ready for a very early night as felt shattered all day but it was worth every tired moment "– Lucie Sheldon

"Just back from a brilliant trip to Iceland organised by Jennie at Wren travel. I can’t believe we managed to fit so much into just a few days. Everything went so smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for Jennie - I would fully recommend Wren Travel to everyone without hesitation!!!" – Andrew Smith
