  • Day 2 White Glaciers And Black Sands
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      White Glaciers And Black Sands

      We head east, along the southern shore, to the unique Jรถkulsรกrlรณn Glacier Lagoon and the Diamond Beach. The Lagoon developed around 60 years ago with a continuous process of calving and falling icebergs from the glacier tongue Breiรฐamerkurjรถkull. These icebergs are seen in two shades: milky white and bright blue, an interplay of light and ice crystals. The Lagoon is filled with fishes that drift in from the sea along with the tides. Seals gather in large numbers at the mouth of the Lagoon to catch the fish during winter, which is a sight to be seen.


      Located nearby, visit the Diamond Beach, renowned for its stunning black sand covered with sparkling icebergs that have washed ashore. These icebergs, originating from the glacier lagoon, create a breathtaking contrast against the dark volcanic sand, making it a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts. The ever-changing landscape of ice fragments glistening in the sunlight provides a unique and mesmerizing experience.


      On the way back to our hotel, we visit Skaftafell, part of Vatnajรถkull National Park. Skaftafell is a nature loverโ€™s paradise known for its stunning landscapes. It features a diverse array of natural wonders, including glaciers, waterfalls, and lush vegetation. Highlights include the breathtaking Svartifoss waterfall, framed by dark basalt columns, and numerous hiking trails that offer spectacular views of the surrounding scenery.

  • Day 3 Volcanoes & Waterfalls And The Blue Lagoon
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Volcanoes & Waterfalls And The Blue Lagoon

      On this day, we will enjoy a ride along the south coast of Iceland. This coastal road offers views of glacier tongues, waterfalls, rugged hills, black sand beaches, and its famous volcanoes. We visit the black sand beach at Reynisfjara to view the geological formation and the smashing waves. Be careful not to step too close as the waves can be dangerous.


      Next, stop and admire the majestic Skรณgafoss Waterfall before driving to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, with a height of 60 m. Here you can walk behind the waterfall but dress well, as the water mist behind the waterfall can make you wet. We then visit the fascinating Lava Centre, an interactive, high-tech educational exhibition depicting volcano activity, earthquakes, and the creation of Iceland over millions of years.


      The final highlight before getting back to Reykjavik is the spectacular Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is on the National Geographic list of 25 wonders of the world, claiming it is a geothermal gift of nature. Enjoy soaking in the mineral-rich water with its fine silica mud experience (this is an optional extra).


      From the Blue Lagoon, we head to Reykjavik and drop you off at your hotel.
