Itinerary

Day 1: Golden Circle
We visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and the Eurasian plate, are moving away from each other. Few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life. Thingvellir is also an important place for Icelandic national history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d. where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer. The name “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”.

You will stay at a 3 star hotel with a private bathroom and breakfast included.

Day 2: South Coast, Blue Ice Cave and Glacier Hike
The adventure begins when we pick you up in Reykjavík in a small and comfortable minibus before heading straight to the South. Our arrival is announced by the powerful theatrics of Seljalandsfoss. Bring a raincoat and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene behind the fall and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water makes for an automatic Instagram blockbuster!

You will stay at a 3 star hotel with a private bathroom and breakfast included.

Breakfast: Included in price is a breakfast buffet at your hotel.

Day 3: South Coast Glacier Lagoon and The Black Sand Beach
Heading off day nr. 3 is Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a 200m deep glacial lagoon fed by Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier. Enormous icebergs come from Breiðamerkurjökull all year round so the lagoon is usually filled with ice that floats south. Try walking alongside the glacier lagoon enjoying the magnificent views and dead silence of Icelandic nature. Before heading back you will jump on a super jeep and head to a blue ice cave in the glacier.

Breakfast: Included in price is a breakfast buffet at your hotel.
