Are you looking for an adventure? Well, look no further as this three-day tour combines the amazing natural sights of the Golden Circle and South Coast of Iceland with Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where the icebergs share the area with the seals and birds.
The small-group tour starts with the unforgettable Golden Circle sights, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir National Park, where you will witness the fantastic lava landscapes, covered in moss and marvel at the large freshwater lake. From there, head to the Geysir Geothermal area where Strokkur will display the power of the geothermal activity in Iceland by shooting it into the air.
Next, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland greets you. Gullfoss waterfall, cascading down in three steps, is an impressive sight to behold. To make sure the day is perfect you will make a couple of extra stops to the day at Kerið volcanic crater and a traditional Icelandic farm, where you will have a chance to taste some homemade ice cream.
On the second day, the south coast awaits, with its fantastic waterfalls. Start at Seljalandsfoss, where you have the rare opportunity to walk behind the waterfall. The next stop is the beautiful Skógafoss waterfall with an impressive drop of 60 meters and responsible for a cloud of mist and spray, creating rainbows on a sunny day. There is a challenge included in the stop, with 527 steps running up the side of the waterfall, this hike is the perfect treat for those who love adventure. You'll be rewarded by the view from the platform at the top.
To complete your adventure, you will go hiking on a glacier on the second day. Our highly trained glacier guides will assist you in strapping on your safety and glacier equipment, including helmets, harnesses, crampons and ice axes. Armed with these items, you will hike on the ice for an hour and a half and enjoy the impressive views from the top.
The next stop is one of the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach, where the Atlantic ocean hammers the coastline and the basalt column cliffs. Keep your distance as the waves are treacherous and can sneak up on you if you are not careful. This area and the closeby cliffs of Dyrhólaey are a paradise for bird watchers in the summer months and the famous puffins nest in the cliffs from June to August.
On the final day, you will explore the glacier lagoon of Jökulsárlón and the Diamond beach across the road, where the icebergs will remind you of diamonds on the black sand. Perhaps you will see a seal playing on the icebergs while you are there so keep your camera at the ready.
You can bring one piece of luggage on this tour that does not exceed 24 inches (61 centimeters).
