If you’re not afraid to get your feet wet, we’ll go into a nearby cave together, where we will find another unique waterfall. Unforgettable impressions! Partially hidden behind a rock wall, Gljufrabui Waterfall is called the hidden gem of Iceland’s south coast. Most tours skip it, but that’s… their loss. We will spend some time admiring the rushing cascade and picturesque moss-covered rocks. Along the way, we will discuss the phenomenon of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the eruption of which in 2010 temporarily stopped flights over a large part of the world.

On this section of the route, you will admire other picturesque waterfalls from the window of our car. They are also beautiful, just not as spectacular as the ones we stop at. Soon, we will reach Skogafoss, another 60m high waterfall on our way. You may recognize this one if you are a fan of Game of Thrones or Vikings, and if you climb about 600 steps to the top, you will find yourself where the iconic Landmannalaugar trekking begins. This is an 80-kilometer route included in the list of “top 20 dream trails” by National Geographic. We will share our experiences from this trek – we went through it more than once.

Next, we’ll arrive at the awe-inspiring Sólheimajökull glacier, which translates to “Sun’s Home Glacier.” After a short 15-minute walk, we’ll stand at the feet of this magnificent ice giant. This is the time to gear you up. You will receive crampons, helmets, harnesses, ice axes, and training on how to use them. Fully equipped, you’ll spend about 2.5 hours trekking across the glacier’s surface, marveling at the deep crevasses, towering ice formations, and blue ice tunnels. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Note: The glacier is retreating due to climate change, so this may be one of the last chances to explore it in full glory.

Reynisfjara is the famous black sand beach that will leave you stunned. Colossal basalt rock formations constantly pounded by high ocean waves are breathtaking, and if you believe the Icelanders – the basalt columns are trolls turned to stone by the sun. Here, our guides will share exciting stories about Icelandic trolls and elves. This is also where iconic “Game of Thrones” scenes were filmed.

Vik is the southernmost spot on the mainland of Iceland. This former fishing village has only 400 inhabitants. There will be time to look for souvenirs or taste local specialties. From Vik, we will have a 2-hour drive back to Reykjavik. During this time, you might relax after a day of adventures and use Wi-Fi onboard.
