The excursion begins when your experienced guide picks you up from your Reykjavik hotel. Alternatively, you can start from Vik village on Iceland's South Coast. You'll ride in a super jeep to ensure comfort and safety while traversing challenging roads. 

The day's first stops are at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, two of Iceland's iconic waterfalls.

Seljalandsfoss is a stunning waterfall with unique and enchanting qualities. What sets it apart is that you can walk behind the cascading curtain of water for a truly immersive and exhilarating experience. As you venture behind the 197-foot (60-meter) drop, you're enveloped in mist and the roar of falling water, creating a sense of wonder and adventure.

Meanwhile, Skogafoss waterfall is known for the sheer power of its cascading waters. This breathtaking natural wonder also boasts a majestic 197-foot (60-meter) drop and a picturesque surrounding landscape, making it a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Iceland.

In addition, Skogafoss is rich in folklore. According to Icelandic legend, behind Skogafoss' vast curtain of water is a treasure chest hidden by Thrasi Thorolfsson, a Viking who once inhabited the area.

Next, you'll visit the iconic black sand beach, Reynisfjara, well-known for its basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. These dramatic geological formations create a beautiful backdrop that has captured visitors' imaginations for generations.

In addition, the Reynisdrangar sea stacks were believed to be the petrified remains of trolls turned to stone when caught by the first light of day.

Finally, you'll reach the foot of the Katla glacier, where you'll be equipped with helmets and crampons to ensure safety. From there, you'll enter the Katla ice cave, a spellbinding natural wonder nestled within the icy heart of the Myrdalsjokull glacier.

The cave offers a surreal journey into a frozen world of incredible beauty. Upon entering, you'll see dazzling blue ice formations and intricate ice crystals, an unforgettable sight.

The Katla ice cave is extraordinary because of its connection to the Katla volcano, one of Iceland's most active and powerful volcanoes. The cave's formation results from the volcanic activity beneath the glacier, which has sculpted the ice over time, giving it its unique appearance and stunning blue hues. Some of the ice you'll see is over 800 years old.

After an awe-inspiring time inside the Katla ice cave, you'll return to your super jeep for a ride back to Reykjavik.
