Day 1: Reykjavik-Vík, Iceland

Location: Vik

Duration: 6 Days

Departure Time: 08:00


Golden Circle and South Coast


You will be picked up at a Reykjavík meeting point at 8:00 am to start your tour of the world-famous Golden Circle. We will start with Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unparalleled beauty and historical significance. Geysir is our next destination, where the spouting hot spring Strokkur and bubbling fumaroles attract visitors all year round. The last attraction of the Golden circle is the mighty Gullfoss Waterfall, where you can see the dreamlike golden hue rising from the spray of the glacier water rushing into the canyon.


On our way to our accommodation for the night, we have the chance to visit both Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. Overnight in Vík.

Day 2: Vík-Höfn, Iceland

Location: Höfn

Vík - Skaftafell Glacier Hike - Glacier Lagoon - Höfn (B)


We start the day exploring Reynisfjara black sand beach with the glorious Reynisdrangar peaks and basalt column cave. Next we pass Mýrdalsjökull glacier and drive through Eldhraun lava field on the way to Skaftafell. Skaftafell is a part of Vatnajökull National park and is a true oasis in the black glacier sands with its green birch forest. Here we will take a three-hour glacier hike, lead by our skilled glacier guides, on one of Vatnajökull’s many outlet glaciers. Next we make our way to the famous Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where we will explore the world-famous lagoon as well as the black sand crystal beach filled with ice from the glacier. Overnight in Höfn.

Day 3: Höfn-Egilsstaðir, Iceland

Location: Egilsstaðir

East Fjords - Djúpivogur - Egilsstaðir (B)


Today we will explore the East fjords of Iceland. We will continue threading our way along the coastline, stopping at Djúpivogur village, a small fishery village. After that, we will go for an invigorating hike to Hengifoss, Iceland’s second highest waterfall (128m) and Litlanesfoss waterfalls. The hike takes about three hours in total and it takes you to a beautiful gorge where a colourful rock face displays layers from volcanic eruptions in ancient times. After the hike, we make our way to Egilsstaðir for overnight.

Day 4: Egilsstaðir-Akureyri, Iceland

Location: Akureyri

Dettifoss-Mývatn-Goðafoss-Akureyri (B)


Today we continue to the beautiful north of Iceland. From Egilsstaðir, we will drive through the wilderness of Möðrudalur, the highest inhabited place in the country, at 469m. We will stop at Dettifoss, Iceland’s most voluminous waterfall, before we go to the Mývatn area where we will explore the magnificent landscape around the lake. Here in the Námaskarð geothermal area, Hverfjall crater and Dimmuborgir formations are among the highlights. Goðafoss waterfall is the last stop of the day before we make our way to the Eyjafjörður fjord for overnight near Akureyri.

Day 5: Akureyri-Bifröst, Iceland

Location: Bifröst

Whale watching in Dalvík - Siglufjörður -Tröllaskagi - Bifröst (B)

During the 3-hour sail tour, you can expect to spot humpback whale, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, and sometimes even the majestic blue whale. When we come ashore, we will drive to Siglufjörður, a fishing village and around Tröllaskagi peninsula where you can get a good idea about the life in the small villages around Iceland.  Overnight in Bifröst.

Day 6: Bifröst-Reykjavík, Iceland

Location: Reykjavík

Borgarfjörður-Reykholt-Hraunfossar-Hvalfjörður-Reykjavík (B)


On this last day, we will find ourselves in the west of Iceland – voted by Lonely Planet as one of the best destinations in 2016. Borgarfjörður, with all its splendid sights, is our main focus. Deildartunguhver hot spring, Barnafoss waterfall, and Hraunfossar cascade, flowing from underneath the lava fields, are among our stops. We will also visit the historic site of Reykholt, featuring Snorralaug pool. We will drive past the picturesque Hvalfjörður Bay on our way to Reykjavík, where we will end our tour at 5-6 pm.

If you are between the ages of 18 and 118, we invite you to travel with bamba and have the time of your life! Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

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!

Marius Halvorson(Norway)

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.
