Daily itinerary

Day 1

Day 1 - Waterfalls and Black Beaches of South Coast

Day one takes you along Iceland’s stunning South Coast, a legendary route packed with glaciers, volcanos, waterfalls, and black sand beaches. It’s one of the most photogenic regions in Iceland, and you’ll get to experience it up close and without the rush.

Your day begins with a morning pick-up at your chosen location in Reykjavik. Settle into a comfortable private vehicle and meet your expert guide, your companion on this two-day tour in Iceland.

The first stop is Hveragerdi, a geothermal village known for its hot springs and greenhouses. You’ll make your way to a charming local bakery for fresh pastries and coffee before walking across an impressive rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Continue your South Coast tour at Seljalandsfoss, a 200-foot (60-meter) waterfall fed by the melting ice of Eyjafjallajokull. If conditions allow, you can walk behind the curtain of water and take in the view from a rare angle. It’s one of the best photo spots in Iceland.

After your visit, the journey continues past Eyjafjallajokull, the volcano that erupted in 2010. You will catch glimpses of the massive ice cap summit and the surrounding lava plains as your guide shares fascinating stories about the eruption and its impact on the region.

Your next stop is Skogafoss, a powerful waterfall that thunders over the cliffs of the ancient coastline. Its flat base lets you walk right up to the misty spray, or if you’re up for a little climb, take the stairs to the top for panoramic views.

Then, you’ll have free time for lunch in Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village. With plenty of local cafes and restaurants to choose from, it’s the perfect place to recharge before your final South Coast destination.

After lunch, head to Reynisfjara, Iceland’s most famous black sand beach. This beach stands out as one of Iceland’s most memorable coastal sights, where powerful waves, basalt cliffs, and sea stacks create a landscape you won’t easily forget.

After a day of exploring the South Coast, you’ll head to West Iceland at Hvassafell II, a lovely family farm in Borgarfjordur. Meet the farm's friendly horses or sip hot cocoa in a cozy sheep shed with sofas. It’s one of the few places in Iceland that offers this kind of authentic farm stay.

At night, settle into your private apartment and unwind in a peaceful rural setting. If you visit in winter, your adventure continues into the night to chase the elusive northern lights.

Day 2

Day 2 - West Iceland's Top Attractions

On day two, you’ll wake up to the stillness of the Icelandic countryside. Start your day with a hearty breakfast prepared with fresh local ingredients.

Before hitting the road, take some time to play with the farm’s friendly horses and curious sheep. This peaceful start offers a genuine glimpse into everyday life in the Icelandic countryside.

Your first destination is Grabrok, a 3,000-year-old volcanic crater surrounded by moss-covered lava fields. A wooden path winds gently up to the top, and in just 20 to 30 minutes, you’re rewarded with sweeping views of the West Icelandic landscape. The hike is short, gentle, and suitable for most travelers, including children and seniors.

From there, journey deeper into West Iceland to explore two of its most enchanting and geologically unique waterfalls: Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. At Hraunfossar, icy blue water seeps beneath an ancient lava field, forming dozens of gentle cascades.

Just upstream, Barnafoss rushes through a narrow gorge, its powerful rapids wrapped in folklore. The contrast of serenity and power here is unforgettable.

If you want relaxation, you can have an optional stop at Krauma Geothermal Baths. These outdoor pools are heated by Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, and cooled with glacier water for the perfect temperature.

Slip into a series of outdoor pools surrounded by mountain views and let the natural warmth melt your stress away. Then, refuel with a delicious lunch made from fresh, seasonal Icelandic ingredients.

If you'd prefer to skip the spa, your guide can arrange alternative optional experiences. For travelers looking for adventure, you can go on an exciting caving tour in Vidgelmir, one of Iceland’s largest lava caves.

As the day winds down, you'll head back to Reykjavik, and your guide will drop you off at your preferred location in the city. If you need transport to Keflavik International Airport or elsewhere, your request will be accommodated at an additional cost.
