South Coast, Waterfalls and Glacier Hike
Hveragerdi - A town renowned for its greenhouses and the “Hot River” of Reykjadalur, located in a rift valley between the Eurasian and American continental plates.
Selfoss - The largest town and the capital of South Iceland.
Seljalandsfoss - Experience this waterfall up close as it plunges 60 meters off the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The path through the cave behind the fall offers one of Iceland’s most spectacular views.
Gljufrabui Waterfalls - A hidden gem that many visitors overlook. We’ll show you where to find it!
Volcano Eyjafjallajokull - Ask your guide about the massive 2010 eruption that brought global fame to Iceland!
Skogafoss - One of the world’s most iconic waterfalls, featured in “Game of Thrones”. Its south-facing position often creates rainbows from the 60-meter cascade’s spray. It’s a popular sight, and you can climb to the top for a different perspective.
Solheimajokull Glacier - Part of the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier, where you’ll embark on an unforgettable glacier hike with all necessary safety gear provided. Enjoy the raw beauty under the guidance of our experienced glacier guide.
Dyrholaey - The stone sea arches of Dyrholaey are visible from Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach.
Reynisfjara Beach - Visit the world-famous black sand beach at Reynisfjara, where basalt columns line the cliffs, volcanic sands meet powerful Atlantic waves, and the sea stacks of Reynisdrangar rise offshore.
Glacier Lagoon and Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
Vik - Day two begins with a short stop in Vík Village, offering stunning views of the Black Sand Beach and surrounding hills.
Eldhraun Lava Field - A desolate wasteland filled with moss-covered lava formations.
Fjadrargljufur Canyon - A breathtaking river canyon, about a hundred meters deep and nearly two kilometers long, featured in a Justin Bieber music video.
Hofskirkja Church - The last church of its kind built in Iceland, dating back to the 19th century, with a turf roof and surrounded by moss-covered burial mounds.
Glacier Lagoon - Jokulsarlon is a bucket-list location featured in several Hollywood movies. The scenery is stunning and ever-changing as wind and tides move the icebergs. Enjoy a 45-minute amphibious boat tour among the icebergs, possibly spotting seals.
Fellsfjara - Just a short distance from Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach is named for the sparkling fragments of icebergs found here, sculpted by wind and waves on the black sand Atlantic beach.
