“Every day introduced new highlights. Every touring day was declared to be outstanding as a consensus opinion by our group.”

— The Gergovich’s – Fergus, ON

“We wanted to create a Journey that gives you a complete and comprehensive tour of the entire country. The Ring Road is the best way of ensuring that experience. It starts and ends in Reykjavik, wrapping around the island and winding its way through diverse scenery and breathtaking vistas.

Also to ensure that the pace was just right for our guests, we focused on two and three-night hotel stays, using hotels as hubs for day trips out to explore the surrounding area. Iceland is a place like no other, and Journeys by Van Dyke has taken exceptional care in creating a high-quality, curated guest experience that reflects this one-of-a-kind destination.”
