Itinerary
Departure from Reykjavik
Your day starts with a pickup from your chosen location in Reykjavik. As you embark towards the South Coast, your guide will enrich your journey with captivating stories of Icelandic folklore, including tales of elves and trolls that are said to inhabit this mystical land.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Your first stop is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, renowned for its accessibility from behind the cascade. This unique perspective allows you to walk behind the waterfall, providing an opportunity to witness a stunning rainbow on sunny days. The water here originates from Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano famous for its 2010 eruption that disrupted European air travel.
Skógafoss Waterfall
Next, you'll experience the majestic Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls, with a drop of 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. It’s not only a natural wonder but also a cultural icon, appearing in films and TV shows like "Game of Thrones." According to legend, a treasure is hidden in a cave behind the waterfall, left there by the region’s first Viking settler.
Crystal Blue Ice Cave
Delve into the Crystal Blue Ice Cave beneath Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. The cave’s naturally formed arches and ethereal blue ice provide a breathtaking experience. These caves are formed by the flow of water through the glacier and constantly change shapes and sizes, offering a new sight with each visit.
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Continue to Reynisfjara, Iceland’s most famous black sand beach, known for its powerful waves and dramatic scenery. The beach features the striking Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore and columnar basalt formations, which are not only a marvel of geology but were also used as a backdrop in the "Game of Thrones" series.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach
End your tour at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, a deep lagoon fed by the melting ice of the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, resulting in a dynamic array of icebergs. Right next to it, Diamond Beach impresses visitors with its black volcanic sand dotted with ice that resembles diamonds shining under the sun. This area is also a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers alike.
