Depending on availability, your hotel will be somewhere between the towns of Vik and Hofn, and you will have plenty of time to explore the area and even hunt for the northern lights, depending on the weather and sky conditions.
Now that you're well-rested and ready to take on another day, the second day of this South Coast tour takes you to see some remarkable natural wonders. After morning stops at Fjadrargljufur canyon and the Skaftafell Nature Reserve, you're in for a real treat with a fantastic blue ice caving experience.
This season, two main ice caves in the Vatnajokull glacier are open for exploration: the Western Ice Cave and the Eastern Ice Cave. On this amazing trip, you will get to visit the best available ice cave, which is carefully chosen based on weather and visibility conditions to ensure the ultimate experience.
During this incredible ice cave tour, you'll see unique ice sculptures, stalactites, and other formations shaped by water flow and ice freezing and melting, making you feel like you stepped into a crystal diamond.
Another highlight of the itinerary is the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, Iceland's deepest lake. The ancient icebergs floating around the bright blue lagoon are an unforgettable sight.
Finally, you will visit the famous Diamond Beach before returning to the Icelandic capital. This black sand beach got its name from the numerous chunks of ice scattered across the sand, which sparkle like diamonds when the sunlight hits them.
The minimum age for participants is eight years. Be sure to pack warm clothing and comfortable shoes to enjoy every aspect of this experience. You can bring one carry-on bag.
