With pick-up and drop-off from Reykjavik, you’ll travel in a comfortable vehicle while stopping at the highlights and some hidden gems of South Iceland. For added convenience, your booking also includes an overnight stay in a charming countryside hotel with a private bathroom and breakfast.
An expert English-speaking guide will accompany you for two days, sharing insights about the region. You’ll learn about the best trivia and local stories about each stop in your itinerary from your guide.
Traveling along the Ring Road from Reykjavik, the journey takes you past snow-capped mountains, lava fields, and black sands. The South Coast offers some of the most spectacular views in Iceland and is framed by the mighty waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the main highlights of this experience is the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, where massive icebergs break off from the biggest glacier in Europe and float across the deep blue waters. Occasionally, seabirds and a colony of seals can be seen resting on these ice blocks.
Another highlight of the tour is the ice cave experience inside the Vatnajokull glacier, where you’ll ride in a modified super jeep to reach the glacier’s edge before stepping into a crystal-blue cave sculpted by natural forces.
Equipped with all necessary safety gear, a professional guide will lead you through the frozen tunnels. The ice cave’s translucent walls and intricate ice formations are breathtaking to see up close.
Along the way, you’ll visit some of Iceland’s most famous natural landmarks, including Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, where water plunges dramatically from cliffs shaped by glaciers and volcanic eruptions.
The tour also stops at Reynisfjara black sand beach and Vik village, where you can get the best views of the coastline with long stretches of volcanic sands.
During the winter months, there’s a chance to see the northern lights from the countryside hotel, which is far from the city lights. If conditions are favorable, you may see the auroras dancing above glaciers and mountains, adding a magical touch to this already extraordinary experience.
With every detail carefully planned, this tour offers an unforgettable way to experience Iceland’s winter magic in just two days. It's perfect for those seeking a quick yet fulfilling escape in the land of fire and ice.
