  • Day 3 Day 3: South Iceland With Optional Glacier Hike (200 Km/124 Mls)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: South Iceland With Optional Glacier Hike (200 Km/124 Mls)

      Today we head along the south coast and reach the area near the active volcano that is beneath the Eyjafjallajรถkull glacier. We stop at the high but narrow Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which plunges from the mountain. Next we visit Skรณgar folk museums, which contains an outstanding collection of farm and domestic artifacts from Icelandโ€™s past and several turf-built houses. Nearby is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country; the 60 meter high Skรณgafoss waterfall.

      In the afternoon we offer an optional glacier walk. The Sรณlheimajรถkull glacier tongue extends from the great Mรฝrdalsjรถkull glacier, down to the sandy plains of the Icelandic south coast. The spectacular surroundings are marked by rugged and majestic rock formations thoroughly shaped by the glacier. On this fun, safe and easy to moderate glacier walk you get to explore the wonderland of ice sculptures, water cauldrons, ridges and deep crevasses on the breath-taking Sรณlheimajรถkull glacier. While enjoying all the features of the glacier and its spectacular surroundings, you will learn more about the behavior of glaciers and their impact on nature. No technical requirements are needed for the tour as an experienced glacier guide will teach you how to use basic glacier equipment, such as crampons and an ice axe which are provided for glacier walk tours. The unique experience of a glacier walk on one of the many retreating glaciers of the world is sure to leave lasting memories. Duration of this activity is approximately 3 hours in total, about 90 minutes on the ice and about 30-40 min walk (one-way) from the car park to the glacier edge itself. The minimum age for the glacier hike is 10 years. You need to bring warm clothing, rain gear and hiking boots. The glacier hike can be booked with your tour guide on spot for a special GJ Travel discount.

      If you booked the trip without the glacier hike, then the tour continues further south where you can stroll on the black lava beach to see the amazing bird cliffs at Reynisfjara near Vรญk. In the evening there is another presentation about the Northern Lights. If the night is clear, you might see the Northern Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the heavens in dramatic shapes, colours, patterns and sizes. The grounds of the Stracta Hotel in Hella are very large and dark and offer you a good location for Northern Lights search if the weather conditions are right. It requires patience, warm clothing and the excitement of "maybe there could be Northern Lights".
