Highlights

The breathtaking south coast of Iceland is waiting for you. After we leave Reykjavík, our first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall where visitors can walk behind the cascading water and feel the mist on their face. Next, we'll visit Skógafoss, another impressive and well known waterfall with a 60 meters drop that creates stunning rainbows during sunny days. After that, we'll head to the Black Sand Beach, where you can walk on the black volcanic sand and its basalt columns, caves, and Reynisdrangar, that are basalt sea stacks that rise from the ocean just off the shore. The highlight of the tour will be at Sólheimajökull, an outlet glacier where we'll be doing a guided glacier hiking and ice climbing experience. Our experienced guide will take you on a journey through the beautiful and otherworldly landscapes of the glacier while teaching you about its geology and history. This tour offers a great combination of natural beauty, adventure, and education.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
