D1
Day 1 Reykjavik South Coast
We will start our adventure at 8 am in Reykjavík on the morning of the tour. Once everyone boards the minibus, we will start our adventure to the beautiful South Coast.

[Seljalandsfoss Waterfall]
Upon arrival, you will enjoy the powerful theatrics of Seljalandsfoss. Bring a raincoat and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene behind the fall and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water make for an automatic photo blockbuster!

[Skógafoss Waterfall]
Further east along the coast is Skógafoss waterfall. Skógafoss is an incredibly picturesque sight: tucked in a little gorge, the river Skógá tumbles down a 60-meter cliff before continuing down the landscape towards the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the gorge, a staircase can take you to the shelf above the waterfall for stunning views.

Glacier Hike in Skaftafell
Start preparing for the most exciting activity of this 2-Day Tour – a Glacier Hike on the largest glacier in Europe. Upon arrival, we will meet a professional glacier guide, who will give us all the essential safety equipment (such as ice axes, crampons, harnesses, etc) and will take us on the glacier. After gearing up, we will start hiking on 2000-3000 year old ice.

【From October to March】, you will have the opportunity to explore the newly formed ice cave. Your adventure begins at the Skaftafell terminal, where you will be equipped with glacier gear. Following that, you will embark on an exhilarating hike on the Falljökull glacier, where you will encounter stunning ice formations, moulins, crevasses, and other natural features. After a brief hike, you will discover the naturally formed Blue Ice Cave. During the months the ice cave is not accessible due to natural causes, we will head out on a glacier hike adventure.

D1 Reykjavik Departure: 09:00 Meeting Point: Hotel or bus stop in Reykjavik (Please fill in the hotel information when booking)

Full Day
  • Make sure you have proper clothing for this activity, and proper hiking shoes 
  • Please note that if the weather forecast is unfavorable, or there are no available glacier guides, we might go on another equally-beautiful glacier – Sólheimajökull.

  • Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
  • Skogafoss
  • Reynisfjara
[ Seljalandsfoss Waterfall ]

The waterfall drops 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Visitors can walk behind the falls into a small cave.

[ Skogafoss ]

Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls with an astounding width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 meters (197 feet).Due to the amount of spray the cascade produces, at least one rainbow is present any time the sun emerges from behind the clouds.

[ Reynisfjara ]

Reynisfjara black sand beach is the most famous beach on the South Coast of Iceland. Its beautiful black sand, powerful waves, and the nearby Reynisdrangar sea stacks make Reynisfjara a truly unique place to visit and a popular filming location (Game of Thrones, Star Wars and more).

Day 2 Glacier Lagoon The Black Sand Beach Reykjavik
Expect a lot of adventures on the second day! We will see the beautiful Glacier Lagoon.

[Jökulsárlón: the Glacier Lagoon]
Jökulsárlón is a 200m deep glacier water lagoon fed by the melting of Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier Vatnajökull. Enormous icebergs also fall from Breiðamerkurjökull all year round so the lagoon is usually filled with ice blocks that floats South. We will start the morning with the most exciting activity of the day – [a boat tour]【summer season】 to enormous floating icebergs in the Glacier Lagoon – also known as Jökulsárlón.

[Diamond Beach]
On the other side of the road, the icebergs from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon float into the Atlantic Ocean where they are quickly thrown back to shore by the tide and winds. This black sand beach is full of smaller ice blocks in all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the daylight. The ice itself comes in all shades of white and blue forming beautiful contrasts.

[Reynisfjara: the Black Sand Beach]
We visit the Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara where the Atlantic coastline presents massive waves hitting the unique basalt pillars in the cliffs above the sand. The cliffs of Dýrhólaey are seen in the distance. This area of the south is also a paradise for bird lovers, as puffins, razorbills and dozens of other species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime.

We will then start heading back to Reykjavik and are expected to arrive around 8pm, though this may be subject to change depending on weather and road conditions.

Back to Reykjavík

[ Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon ]

The Glacier lagoon is told to be one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland. This lagoon is a recent one, the result of a warming climate. The surface is at sea level and sea water flows into the lagoon at high tide.Huge blocks of ice constantly break off the glacier,Breiðamerkurjökull, and large icebergs float on the lagoon. The lagoon is not very wide but it is up to 250 meters deep which makes it the deepest lake in Iceland. Breiðamerkurjökull is an outlet of the Vatnajökull glacier.

[ Vatnajökull ]

The third largest glacier in the world and the largest in Europe, covering an area of 8,300 square kilometers, second only to the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers, but it is the only largest glacier in the world that can be visited without professional training.

[ Blue Ice Cave Adventure ]

On this adventure tour, you will not only visit the Blue Ice Cave but also go on a hike on the glacier where you will get a the chance to explore ice tunnels, moulins and other beautiful ice features.It is such a unique experience to be able to stand inside an ancient glacier and the picturesque blue ice will make you feel like you are in a fairytale.

On this journey, you'll board a super jeep and travel along the island's coastal highway to the foot of the glacier. Guided by an expert, you'll embark on a 20-minute glacier hike, breathing in the crisp air while taking in the breathtaking glacial vistas along the way—a truly uplifting experience for both body and mind. Finally, you'll enter an ice cave to marvel at nature's incredible craftsmanship.

[ Diamond Beach ]

Visit the magical Diamond Beach, a black volcanic sand beach next to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland. Transport yourself to a new world as you walk between diamond-shaped blocks of ice that have drifted ashore from Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier.Next to the famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, take a stroll at the Diamond Beach, where blue, black, transparent, and white icebergs shine like diamonds as you weave your way between them.
