Description

Day one: the famous Golden Circle with Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. Your adventure begins with a pickup in Reykjavik then travel along the famous Golden Circle route. The first stop will be at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir National Park. Rich with history and geology, Thingvellir is a must visit destination when in Iceland. This is where two tectonic plates are moving apart and home to the world's oldest continuously operating parliament, Althingi. From Thingvellir, make your way to the spouting geysers at Geysir Hot Spring area. Here, see Strokkur Geysir spout water up to 25 meters in the air. The last but certainly not least attraction of the Golden Circle is the powerful waterfall of Gullfoss, better known as the Golden Falls. See the fall roaring through the rugged canyon and dropping a whopping 32 meters. Heading south towards your accommodation for the night, make a stop at Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, which are both very impressive and picturesque falls. Day two: South Coast with Reynisfjara, Glacier Lagoon, and Ice Cave visit. After a good breakfast at your hotel, travel towards the unique black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Here, see an incredible basalt column cave and the black basalt pillars of Reynisdragar rising from the sea. Continue further east and drive through the charming village of Vik and towards Vatnajokull National Park. Upon arrival to the magical Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, see that the lagoon is filled with uniquely shaped icebergs floating around in a dreamlike procession. Make sure to snap a few photos of the stunning area before visiting the nearby Diamond Beach. Your day will end with an ice cave exploration where you will visit a natural ice cave and explore its heavenly icy dome. Your accommodation for the night will be in the Skaftafell area. During the winter months, when conditions are in your favor, this area is a great place to go hunting for the magical Northern Lights. Day three: all about glaciers. Your last day will include a different kind of experience, a glacier hiking adventure. Accompanied by a certified glacier guide, explore one of Vatnajokull's outlet glaciers and get to know all there is to know about Icelandic glaciers. Glaciers are always moving and changing, creating unique ice formations as they go including crevasses and ice falls. Your knowledgeable guide will teach you about these formations before you jump back on the bus for a scenic return journey to the capital where your adventure concludes. You can expect to be back in Reykjavik between 16:00 and 19:00.
