Day 01

South Coast + Glacier Lagoon + Diamond Beach

This h tour is along Iceland’s famous south coast and takes you to some of the most iconic landmarks in the country. Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavík and teach you about the land of ice and fire as you make your way southeast along the famous ring road. Our first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall that you will have the opportunity to walk behind taking you into a massive cave. From there, we head to Skogafoss, arguably the most famous and massive waterfalls in Iceland. If you are lucky enough, a sunny day exposes a constant double rainbow that touches the falls.

Coffee and lunch stops will be made at the cozy coastal town of Vik after making a stop along the black sand coastline of Reynisfjara and Dyrhólaey to hopefully spot some puffins (if in season). After lunch, we will head into Vatnajokull National Park and to the Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon, two true wonders of the world where you can witness massive icebergs along the black sand coast. We end the day driving back towards Reykjavík where your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
