Tour Description

Embark on a captivating two-day adventure along Iceland’s enchanting South Coast, where nature’s wonders and geological marvels await.

Day 1 - Golden Circle Tour

This is one of the most popular and most beautiful tours in Iceland and also one of the most beautiful ones. We will visit:

  • Seljalandsfoss
  • Skógafoss
  • Sólheimajöjull
  • Reynisfjara
  • Vík
  • Fjadrargljufur canyon
  • Skaftafell National Park
  • If the weather permits, the Northern Lights can be seen on arrival night.
Day 1: Exploring Iceland’s South Coast

On day one, we pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. Prepare to be mesmerized by the majestic Seljalandsfoss, where waterproof attire allows you to walk behind the waterfall. Continuing to the powerful Skógafoss, ascend the staircase for breathtaking South Coast views, enhanced by radiant rainbows on sunny days.

Eyjafjallajökull and Sólheimajökull Glacier Tongue

As we traverse past the renowned Eyjafjallajökull glacier, infamous for its 2010 eruption, we offer a close encounter with the stunning Sólheimajökull Glacier Tongue, showcasing a spectrum of ice colors. Drift along Road 1, where you’ll sense the mystical power of the elves at Drangar and explore the dramatic cliffs of Dyrholaey. Our journey unfolds on the black sands of Reynisfjara, leading to Vik, a picturesque fishing village near a famous and formidable volcano.

Fjadrargljufur Canyon and Skaftafell Hotel

After a delightful lunch, we head southeast, making a scenic stop at the captivating Fjadrargljufur canyon. The drive through Iceland’s diverse landscapes unveils lava fields, sand deserts, and glacier tongues, culminating in a restful night at our 3-star hotel in Skaftafell. Modern rooms with private facilities await, and while dinner is not included, we highly recommend the hotel’s dining experience.

Bonus Aurora Hunt

An additional winter attraction of the trip: on the first night, we’ll have a chance to see the Northern Lights, weather permitting. A second opportunity to view the Northern Lights will occur on the return journey to Reykjavik. The price of the regular trip includes a bonus, free aurora hunt on the way back.

Day 2 - Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

  • Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
  • Diamond Beach
  • Fjallsárlón
  • Turf church
  • Kirkjubaejarklaustur
  • Urridafoss 
  • If the weather permits, the Northern Lights can be seen on the way back to Reykjavik.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Day two commences with breakfast at the hotel, before we head off to catch the morning light at the breathtaking Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Marvel at floating icebergs of various shapes and sizes before exploring the unique hues of Diamond Beach. Choose a boat ride in summer or an ice cave tour in winter for an added thrill.

Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Svinafellsjökull Glacier

Our journey continues to the picturesque Fjallsárlón, a mini Glacier Lagoon with fewer visitors and charming icebergs. Drive past Vatnajökull, capturing the perfect light for stunning photos of Svinafellsjökull glacier tongue.

Skaftafell and Svartifoss Waterfall

Return to Skaftafell for a possible short hike to Svartifoss, surrounded by dark lava columns. Time permitting, explore unique attractions like the old turf church near Hof and the Viking house in Kirkjubaejarklaustur.

Systrafoss Waterfall and Hjorleifshofdi Settlement

Admire Systrafoss, the sister’s waterfall, near Kirkjubaejarklaustur, and proceed with a tranquil drive along Hjorleifshofdi, a settlement founded by one of the first Vikings.

Vik and Urridafoss Waterfall

Passing through Vik, revisit the sights in a different light, granting photo opportunities. Conclude the adventure with a visit to Urridafoss in Thjorsá river, returning to Reykjavik in time for a refreshing evening and a delightful dinner at one of the city’s many restaurants.

Conclusion: A Journey of Natural Wonders

Join us for a journey that seamlessly blends natural wonders, cultural exploration, and captivating landscapes.
