TOUR ITINERARY

Our first stop is the majestic Skógafoss waterfall, a local celebrity, that you might have seen on the popular Game of Thrones show. The waterfall is 60 meters tall and will leave you speechless. According to the local legend, there is some treasure hidden behind it, who knows, you might be lucky enough to find it.

Next comes the highlight of the journey. Iceland is known for glaciers, 11% of the country is covered by ice. Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier coming down the fourth biggest glacier of Iceland, called Mýrdalsjökull. After the safety instructions, your safety gear is carefully checked and it is time to hit the ice. The hike itself is approximately 2,5 hours long with 1,5 hours being spent on the glacier itself. 

Next, we are traveling to the Reynisfjara black sand beach, which was once named as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the whole world.

SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY!

Waterfalls, black sand beach and glacier hike. Comfortable mini coach and well informed guide.

From start to finish the tour was informative and made more special by our great guide Thomas. Being a small group of 9, in a mini bus rather than a big tour bus everyone got to speak to each other. The weather was awful, but that did not change the enjoyment of it and it was clear on the glacier. Just remember to bring water proofs!

Great glacier get-away

The glacier hike was the trip highlight. It’s definitely worth it! Our master itinerary tactician, Tomasz, in a move worthy of Moses managed to reorder stops to avoid rain up to and on the glacier on a normal Iceland day. The southern shore beach near Vik and several waterfalls were truly impressive.
