Day 2 Golden Circle
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Golden Circle

Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park is the first stop of the day. Volcanic fields and mountains surrounded by snow will blow your mind, as it is one of the most beautiful locations in Iceland.

Thingvellir has an amazing cultural heritage as Iceland’s first parliament was founded there in the year 930 AD.

Only to add even more uniqueness to the location its geological features are truly amazing and exceptional because of the exposed North American and Euroasion tectonic plates on the surface. The location is a UNESCO designated World Heritage site for these reasons.

Geysir Geothermal Area

Haukadalur geothermal area will be our next stop on the Golden Circle route, where you will find hot springs Stokkur, which erupts every five to ten minutes creating amazing photo opportunities, and the famous Geysir, the geyser that has named all geysers in the world.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Ending the Golden Circle part of the tour is the most famous must see waterfall, Gullfoss, where water from the glacier river, Hvítá, rushes down two tiers of a 32 metre fall. The Golden Circle has gotten its name from Gullfoss, which translates to the Golden waterfall.

Optional Activities

Go on a snowmobile tour on Iceland’s second largest ice cap. Once you are at our base camp we suit up for the tour, we offer snowsuits, gloves, helmets, and shoe-covers if needed.

Day 3 South Coast
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

South Coast

Skogafoss

Further east along the coast is Skógafoss waterfall. Skógafoss is an incredibly picturesque sight. Tucked in a little gorge, the river Skógá tumbles down a 60-meter cliff before continuing down the landscape towards the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the gorge, a staircase can take you to the shelf above the waterfall for stunning views. See if you can count your steps on your way up.

Seljalandsfoss

The next stop of the day is Seljalandsfoss. Your arrival is announced by the powerful theatrics of the waterfall. Bring a raincoat with you and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene from this vantage point and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water make for an automatic Instagram blockbuster!

Reynisfjara, the Black Sand Beach

Heading further east, we visit the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, where the massive waves of the Atlantic meet the unique basalt columns in the cliffs above the sand. Rock pillars in the water and the cliffs of Dýrhólaey are seen in the distance.

This area of the south is also a paradise for bird lovers, as Puffins and dozens of other unique species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime from June to August.

Optional Activities

1) Glacier Hike in Sólheimajökull

Sólheimajökull is a part of Mýrdalsjökull, one of the biggest glaciers in Europe. It is featured in detail in the 2012 documentary "Chasing Ice," an award-winning investigation of climate change. Once you reach the ice, you’ll be given plenty of time to marvel at the eerie silence and feeling of isolation, as if you and your fellow hikers are alone in a vast, empty world of ice and snow. You’ll view millennia-old blue ice, created when oxygen bubbles are trapped in the snow and compressed into ice by the enormous weight of the glacier pressing down upon it. You’ll be able to gaze deep into a glacier moulin, a vertical shaft like a well, which can go all the way to the bottom of the glacier.

OR

2) DC3 Plane Wreck

Visit the famous plane wreck on Solheimasandur. This plane wreck of the US Navy has been sitting on the vast black sand since 1973.

We will then head to your accommodation near the town of Vik.
