Your Tour Itinerary

Day 1 | Explore the South Coast

Over the next two days, we journey along Iceland’s stunning South Coast, home to some of the country’s most iconic landscapes. The adventure begins with visits to Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss—two spectacular waterfalls fed by glacial meltwater, each offering unforgettable photo opportunities.

As we continue east, we pass through Skaftafell Nature Reserve, surrounded by sweeping glacier views and Iceland’s highest peaks within Vatnajökull National Park. The day concludes at one of the South Coast’s most breathtaking locations: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs drift peacefully across the water. With a bit of luck, you may spot seals swimming nearby or see glittering ice fragments scattered along Diamond Beach.

Typical accommodation:

Hótel Glacier Lagoon, Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, Magma Hotel or similar.

Day 2 | Glacier Adventures in Vatnajökull National Park

Our second day brings even more adventure and unforgettable scenery. We begin by stepping onto an outlet glacier of the vast Vatnajökull ice cap for a guided glacier hike designed especially for first-timers. This customizable experience offers incredible views of the dramatic icefall on Falljökull, along with fascinating insights into this constantly changing landscape.

After our time on the ice, we continue exploring more of the South Coast’s highlights. We’ll stop in the charming seaside village of Vík before visiting the famous Reynisfjara Beach, known for its striking basalt columns and powerful Atlantic waves crashing onto the black sand shore.

It’s a day filled with contrast—ice, ocean, mountains, and dramatic coastlines—showcasing Iceland at its most dynamic.

Typical accommodation:

Skálakot Manor, Hotel UMI, or similar.

Day 3 — Golden Circle Classics

Our final day takes us into Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle.

We start at Geysir, home of bubbling geothermal springs and the active geyser Strokkur, which erupts every few minutes. Next, we visit the mighty Gullfoss, one of the country’s most powerful waterfalls — spectacular whether bathed in sunlight or wrapped in winter mist.

For lunch, we make a stop at the beloved Friðheimar greenhouse, where you’ll enjoy a warm meal surrounded by tomato plants growing under geothermal lighting. Their tomato soup and fresh bread are always a hit in winter.

The last highlight is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for both its geological significance and its history as the birthplace of Iceland’s first parliament.

From here, you can choose:
• return to Reykjavík in the afternoon, or
• continue to the Blue Lagoon for a relaxing finale and optional overnight stay.
