The tour sets off from Reykjavík at 8 a.m., heading towards the breathtaking South Coast. The first significant stop is Seljalandsfoss, an impressive waterfall where you can take a brief walk behind the cascading water. It’s a good idea to bring a raincoat to stay dry, as the falls make for a fantastic photo backdrop.

 

Continuing east, you'll arrive at Skógafoss, a majestic waterfall standing 60 meters high, nestled in a narrow valley. A staircase runs alongside the gorge, allowing you to climb to the top and enjoy stunning views from above.

 

Before reaching your hotel, your guide will provide an update on the likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights tonight. Since the lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings can't be guaranteed, but we’ll make every effort to find the best viewing spots if the conditions are right.

Good to Know
  • Weather and road conditions may lead to modifications of the schedule with attractions varying in order or becoming unavailable.

The main event of the day is the Ice Cave and Glacier Hike. When you arrive, a professional glacier guide will provide you with safety equipment and lead you onto the ancient ice. You'll discover intriguing ice features like moulins, crevasses, and icefalls. From October to March, you'll have the chance to explore the naturally formed Blue Ice Cave. If the cave is inaccessible, you'll embark on an exhilarating glacier walk instead. Be sure to dress warmly and wear sturdy hiking shoes. If weather conditions shift, we might head to the stunning Sólheimajökull glacier as an alternative.

 

At Jökulsárlón, a lagoon reaching depths of 200 meters, you'll witness icebergs drifting from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. You'll also stop at Diamond Beach, where smaller icebergs shimmer like diamonds on the black sand, offering a breathtaking contrast.

 

Discover the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, famous for its powerful waves and distinctive basalt columns. In the distance, you'll catch sight of the Dyrhólaey cliffs, a haven for birdwatchers during summer. Afterward, we'll make our way back to Reykjavik, aiming to arrive by 8 p.m., depending on the weather and road conditions.
