3 in 1 Bundled Discount Tours of Katla Ice Cave, the Golden Circle & Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Today, you’ll be picked up in the morning and driven to the beautiful Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often known as ‘Iceland in Miniature’ due to the wealth of attractions found there. You’ll be exploring beautiful beaches, dramatic coastlines, and charming villages while a majestic glacier watches over you.

Your first stop today is at the beach Ytri-Tunga. Unlike most Icelandic beaches, this one doesn’t have black sands, but white or golden. The view over Faxaflói Bay to the south is nothing short of magnificent, and you’ll also see the mountain ridges of Snæfellsnes all the way to the Snæfellsjökull glacier. You should also keep an eye out for some resident seals as they are known to lounge on the sands.

From there, you’ll stop at the small fishing hamlet of Arnarstapi to see its adorable houses and dramatic coastal view before you visit the black pebble beach of Djúpalónssandur. To get to the beach, you’ll have to walk through a beautiful, natural maze of lava rock formations.

Fans of the HBO series Game of Thrones might recognize your next stop, the arrowhead-shaped mountain Kirkjufell which can be found ‘North of the Wall’ in the show. The beautiful mountain and nearby waterfall is the perfect spot to capture amazing photos of the stunning Icelandic nature.

You’ll make a few more stops along the route where you’ll see just how diverse the Icelandic nature can be before returning to your accommodations in Reykjavík in the evening.

Wake up early this day and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. Today, you’ll travel the beautiful South Coast of Iceland to the glacier Mýrdalsjökull where you’ll explore an authentic ice cave.

En route to the glacier, you’ll stop at the beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is fed by the infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano glacier. The cascade falls over a concave cliff, and so you can follow a little path that leads you behind the falling springwater.

On the way to the glacier Mýrdalsjökull, you’ll travel over plains of black volcanic sands, and your guide will tell you about your surrounding environment as well as the legend of the witch Katla. Once at the glacier, you’ll put on crampons and a helmet, and the guide will lead you to the cave.

As you enter the cave, shimmering blue ice with dark strips of volcanic ashes will greet you. Inside, you’ll see otherworldly ice sculptures and glittering tunnels, providing you with some fantastic photo opportunities.

Once you’ve explored the cave to the fullest, you’ll return to your vehicle and head back to Reykjavík city.
